Going Back in Time!,
By Penelope D. (Seattle, WA USA)
This is one of the few LEGO CUUSOO sets developed so far--it's a set that a LEGO-lovers forum voted on to be made, so I knew before I saw it put together that it would be pretty cool. The mister is a huge Back to the Future fan, so I got this for him for Christmas and he was really excited to open it and has already gotten lots of comments on it from friends.
The Marty McFly minifigure is a highlight of the set, as well as the opening DeLorean doors and flip-able tires (you know, for when you go somewhere where you don't need roads). The car can be modified to mirror the car in each of the movies, including corresponding license plates.
I was really impressed with the box the set came in. It's not a typical LEGO box, but one that is sturdy and reusable for keeping your set pieces together. The building instruction book is bound, not stapled together, and has information at the front about the set and CUUSOO. All in all, this is packaged in a way that is much nicer and collectible in the long run. Needless to say, this set is going to the mister's office and not being added to the kids' LEGO collection.
My own DeLorean!,

I was very excited to receive this and spent the evening putting it together. There are a number of pieces (and extras, in case something gets lost), so it's not super simple, but no one really buys Legos to not sit any put them together, right? The end product is perfect!
Great Set, but DON'T Pay $50 Plus Shipping,
By S. Pesavento (Bethlehem, PA USA)
This is a really cool set, especially for we children of the late 70s/early 80s. However, it is only $35.00 new and Prime eligible when it is in stock. So unless you HAVE to have it today from Amazon, just hang on until they get more back in stock...no need to pay $50 plus shipping for this one.
