Official Back to the Future Lego Sets? Great Scott!
 |
WARNING: The three Back to the Future Lego sets you’re looking at above don’t technically exist yet… but they might. They were submitted to Lego’s Cuusoo site, and just reached the necessary 10,000 votes for Lego to consider making them for real. Now, the decision won’t be entirely in Lego’s hands — Universal has to approve them, although I don’t see why they’d would have a problem with them… unless they signed away all the BttF toy rights to Mattel, and Mattel wanted to be dicks about it. Which is, admittedly, a possibility, but let’s cross our fingers anyways. (Via Gizmodo)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
