"The Doc Brown Fun Pack is worth its BrickScore of 75 almost entirely on the strength of one exemplary minifigure, with the exclusive film-accurate hairpiece making it essential for Back to the Future collectors, while the game-dependent play value has faded since Dimensions was discontinued."
The Doc Brown Fun Pack (71230) earns its BrickScore of 75 primarily on the strength of one outstanding element: the new Doc Brown minifigure with an exclusive hairpiece that both the Brickset and JANG reviewers called a definitive upgrade over the earlier Ideas version. The Travelling Time Train model itself is a compromise build designed to be reconfigured for the Dimensions game, which limits its display appeal. Owner sentiment is more mixed than the expert praise, averaging 4.4 stars from 544 ratings with only 75% recommending it, reflecting frustration with specific game mechanics.
Where they split: Expert reviewers focused on the minifigure and gave it a positive buy recommendation. Owner ratings averaged only 4.4 (versus the expert-driven 75 score) and only 75% recommended it, a gap driven by buyers who found specific game mechanics broken, particularly the drone puzzle access, making the set functionally incomplete for its primary purpose.
