Since I was a child, I have always felt that
the time machine from Back to the Future,
with its ability to let people travel through
time, would be perfectly suited to the
world of LEGO
® building. As a child I often
attempted to build the time machine, but
back then I didn’t have the right bricks or
building skills.
Many years later I met Sakuretsu, a mini-
figure builder from Japan. In the summer
of 2011, we teamed up to submit the “BTTF Time
Machine” to the LEGO Cuusoo website. The road to
gathering the required 10,000 supporters was long
and hard. But thanks to Sakuretsu’s enthusiasm and
the encouragement from various media
sites and supporters, I was able to see my
dream become an official LEGO product.
Thinking about my life until now, I realize
that I have always been led by the sayings
in the Back to the Future movie:
“If you put your mind to it, you can
accomplish anything. Your future is whatever
you make it.”
you can accomplish anything”
“if you put your mind to it,
