Hot Toys - Back to the Future - 1/6 DeLorean Time Machine

[Optibotimus]

Question for any of the early shipping guys in USA and hopefully California. I see that shipping to me this is only $23? Is that correct? I live in Cali and the local place I was normally going to get this piece from jacked up the price to $800 and if the shipping is really that low then it would be cheaper to get from sideshow direct.

I'm in California and that should be the price you pay for shipping. They have pretty damn good shipping rates IMO.

Oh and before someone bitches about "free" stuff that reviewers get...yes...on pieces this large, i pay for shipping too

After living with this car for 24 hours I only had two issues. One of the magnets on the inside of the hood was not glued on properly and came loose so I just glued it back in place. The other problem was that one of the couplings on the front bumper flux band was not glued together correctly and the cables kept coming loose where they plug into the coupling. I just glued the coupling tighter together and now everything fits nice and tight.

For a complex piece like this car, two minor manufacturing mistakes isn't too bad. I love this thing!

Okay then I will buy from sideshow instead. I told my local guy that it would be cheaper to get from sideshow and he said shipping is $100 from them and showed it was $23 and told me I was wrong that they will jack it up later after you buy because the batmoible was high shipping

He's clearly just trying to strong arm you into the sale. I would honestly consider NEVER going back to that guy. They can't jack it up after you buy it. You pay and then that's it. The Batmobile was higher because it's bigger and heavier. He's full of ****

The 89 ride box was almost the size of a small fridge this box look's way smaller.

Shipping from sideshow was surprisingly not too bad on this piece considering it's size. $38 for me I think, while normal figures are about $23 which is completely ridiculous.

Shipping shouldn't be that bad. The DeLorean doesn't seem very large, nor very heavy, for a 1/6 vehicle.

I've been buying from that guy for a few years now. But this has put a sour taste to me now. To be fair I did not buy it from him yet but I said I will get it from him and he was going to put one on hold for me since I usually always buy from him but this has made me disappointed. I'm going to use my points to get it cheaper from sideshow which will cover the shipping and almost all the tax.

I love BTTF and the DeLorean so much, but even aside from the price and international shipping I just don't have the space for this thing.

I'd love it if somebody made a 1/12 version of similar quality.

Got this bad boy the other day, here's a really quick pic of my set up. Still trying out different Marty poses, but I love that he fits perfectly in the car. Such a great addition to the collection. Glad I passed on the Batmobile.

This came out pretty awesome but I just don't have the money at the moment to get it and I still think the price is a little high when I wish they didn't have stickers to put on for some of the pieces on the car and wishing the time line actually lit up instead of it being a sticker. Maybe if it's still around near almost the end of the year I'll get it but for now I'm happy with just Marty even though I would love this piece. I think if I had it in hands I would love it.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Very nice, Jml! And kudos for the Robos.

We could really use that confident/cocky Marty sculpt right about now. Lest Marty always be bewildered.

Well just ordered from sideshow. Used points to pay for shipping and tax. Shipping was still a quote at $23 but I'm sure it will be close to that since they already shipped some out and have proper box dimensions etc.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Congrats! That's much better than your local place.

I cant wait to have this in hand - what will everyone be doing for the batteries? I dont want to actually use batteries. Not that I will have it lit up often but every now and again would be nice. Problem is, If its a wired solution, I cant drill through the tempered glass of my fish tan... display case

Hoping for some good suggestions

Can you flip it over to where the opening is on bottom?

That looks really cool. I might be last to get this very very soon.

I've been trying to hold out on buying this until the hover version they showed last year is released or at least announced as a PO, but slowly losing willpower. If I can hold out until SDCC, we should know for certain by then. I doubt I'll be able to not buy this.

I just caved and ordered it. If the hover version comes out, so be it - I'll buy that too and stick one in my office at work.
