That's kinda disappointing.

140/274 for me.

Do you guys think 274 is just the initial shipment or total es?

 

[Fan]

Pretty sure it's the initial shipment, at only 274 units this beast would cost way more considering alle the molds needed and things like that.

 

[HAL9000.]

Yeah, 274 has got to be a massive underestimate.

It might just be the number Sideshow got in their first wave etc.

Not really... That pleather always breaks down, I'm very happy the seats are molded plastic.

Is that on the HT shipper? Or on the box SS shipped it in?(If you got a pack out)

It was written on the HT outer shipper. Outer shipper had HT tamper-evident tape on it.

I second this i was really worried when on the initial pics and reviews that it looks like a pleather since those things are known to break down in time glad that they made the sits in plastic

Argh, why couldn't they have started my payments just one month early?...

Could be that they made only enough for their main importers plus that little extra for stock.
So if the box said "35 of 317" for instance, that might just be that the place you bought yours from ordered 317. Or the main importer did at any rate if you didn't buy from SS.

My last payment is due tomorrow! Curious to see if they have one to ship or if they are going to push my order back. Really hoping I do get charged tomorrow!

My cabinet i designed to hold my whole collection and fit the Delorean is finally coming together...

Nice! Is it self built and are you using detolf parts?

Five dismantled detolfs provide the metal struts that keep the wood boards together, and also provide the five back glass pieces and the front doors(Not on yet).
The base and top boards are custom made veneered 30mm MDF. The side glass pieces were bespoke, cut for me by a local glass company.
It may seem like a lot of work, but i wanted to have the Delorean on display with everything else and inside the cabinet.
It's got the internal storage width of five detolfs(Without the paces you get inbetween each detolf), but is twice as deep, so it has as much storage space as ten detolfs.

 

[Fan]

Wow, didn't get how you wanted to fit the DeLorean in there depth wise but now I got it, didn't realize you modded the metal struts as well. Curious to see more.

Currently on the fence to "mod" my billy shelves... well in my case this time modding means adding glass doors only but that will not help fitting the DeLorean in there.

I need a set up like that!! Where did you get it from, how much did it cost?

I chopped all the metal frames in half and sleeved them with aluminium tubing to make them wider for the wider shelving.

I am building it myself right now...
Base and top plates cost £200/$300, Glass sides £120/$180, it uses pieces from five detolfs £200/$300...
And i reckon i will have $100 of LED lighting when it's done, plus maybe another £200/£00 of glass shelving...
So, not cheap.
If anyone here wants, i have a set of plans for the base plate

Smart idea, thought you cut and welded them but this way you don't need to grind and paint them again and I think it's even more secure.

Speaking of furniture for the DeLorean, I was struggling to find something to display it on too, so ended up hacking an IKEA unit.

Started with two Lack units, the Lack side table and Lack Tv bench. TV Bench for depth and width, side panels of the side table for height.

Added some hairpin legs, and acrylic/runners for the sliding doors. 1/6 boxes comfortably fit inside so they're all out the way.

DeLorean will fit comfortably on top, Marty's box is on top for a size comparison.
