Back to the Future 40th Anniversary Set: Get ready to hit 88 mph, Hot Wheels collectors! Hot Wheels is commemorating a significant milestone in cinematic history with the release of a special collector’s item: the 40th Anniversary Back to the Future Time Machine Set. This highly anticipated set is set to drop on July 24 at 9 AM Pacific Time and will retail for $32.
This exclusive set brings to life one of the most unforgettable scenes from the original Back to the Future movie: the unveiling of the Time Machine at Twin Pines Mall. Fans will be excited to find two meticulously crafted die-cast vehicles within this interactive package.
For the first time in 1:64 scale, collectors can get their hands on Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown’s GMC Value Van, complete with authentic graphics. This highly sought-after addition perfectly complements the main attraction: an updated 1:64 scale edition of the legendary DeLorean. This version of the Time Machine features exclusive deco for this set and is also designed to celebrate the 2025 San Diego Comic-Con, highlighting its collectible value.
The attention to detail goes beyond the vehicles themselves. The set includes interior packaging that beautifully recreates the Twin Pines Mall parking lot scene, instantly transporting fans back to where Doc’s daring experiment in time travel began.
Adding to the immersive experience, the entire set is presented in a movie-themed diorama display and housed in a protective outer box. What truly makes this packaging stand out is its interactive element: a ramp unfolds from the side, allowing collectors to slide out the diorama package, mimicking the dramatic moment when the Time Machine is unloaded for its groundbreaking temporal displacement attempt.
The Hot Wheels 40th Anniversary Back to the Future Time Machine Set is a must-have for fans of the beloved film and Hot Wheels collectors alike. Its combination of iconic vehicles, faithful scene recreation, and interactive packaging makes it a true collector’s gem, celebrating a film that continues to resonate across generations. Mark your calendars for July 24th to ensure you don’t miss out on this incredible journey back in time!
