Barely a day after launch, the highly anticipated 10300 Back to the Future Time Machine has temporarily sold out worldwide.
Demand for the set far exceeded supply, with reports on Reddit, and social media suggesting that large queues formed outside LEGO Stores by fans eager to get their hands on the LEGO Creator Expert Delorean.
I’m not sure if it’s a good thing, but the set is somehow still available to order on LEGO.com in Australia and NZ, the only LEGO.com region in the world that you can currently pick one up. I wouldn’t hesitate if I were you, as we won’t know when restocks will occur.
Update: now sold out in Australia too!
LEGO Delorean stock availability status:
10300 Back to the Future Time Machine [US] – US$169.9910300 Back to the Future Time Machine [AUS] – AU$269.9910300 Back to the Future Time Machine [UK] – £149.9910300 Back to the Future Time Machine [EU] – €169.9910300 Back to the Future Time Machine [CA] – CAD$219.99
Almost predictably, resellers have been quick to capitalise on the LEGO Delorean’s popularity, with sets going for US$240 and above on eBay (a premium of about 40% above RRP), which is disappointing as usual.
With the set going out of stock almost immediately, you can bet that prices on the secondary market will continue to remain high, and that scalpers/opportunists will continue to take advantage of the initial low supply, until the next restock cycle.
You can always turn on Back in Stock notifications on LEGO.com if you missed out, but I would encourage not feeding the scalpers unless you absolutely have to the LEGO Back to the Future Delorean will restock (hopefully) soon.
It’s great to see LEGO have another Creator Expert hit, and hope this shows LEGO that there is huge demand for highly detailed pop-culture vehicles that ALSO contain minifigures.
