Question for the guys that have that loot crate hoverboard. Is it in scale with the marty figure? I have a chance to get one dirt cheap off eBay but if it looks too big and goofy Ima pass on it

So did you buy that led strip lights off amazon that you posted? And you were able to cut it too?

Yep Amazon.com : LEDMO 5050 White LED Strip Light Kit (Waterproof IP67, 16.4ft 300LEDs, 6000K, LED Tape Light, Including a 6-key Remote Control & a 12VDC/5A Power Supply), SilIcon Sleeve Version : Patio, Lawn & Garden, yea I was able to cut it too. There is a little arrow on the strip and that is where you cut it.

While everyone is getting theirs, I am sending it back to SS today due to flaws and no replacement. It's a sad day.

Sideshow responded to my issue about my otherwise flawless Delorean missing the dash compass piece. I was offered a $40 credit or a replacement. I had asked them to just take the part off any Delorean they had in stock, preferably one that had been returned for another defect instead of shipping the entire car. I don't think they will be doing that and will go the route of replacing the whole thing.

Is anyone here sending theirs back and if so would you be willing to part with the compass beforehand?

I have a problem with the rail on mine. It's not even part of the main car and they want me to send the whole damn thing back. No thank you.

I had problems install the bands around the car. Got the two side ones on with no problems. But the front I wasn't able to get the front to clips to click in. I didnt force it and left it unclicked. The front band stays on just fine.

Here is how this ended up for me. They said that they needed the original one back first to do an exchange which I wasn't comfortable with. So I went with the full return which gives me 30 days to get it back to them and ordered another one. This way I can have both in hand and make sure I don't get stuck with the replacement being worse than the original.

I would have preferred if there was some way to just get what was missing but in the end it's only costing them extra shipping fees not me so I can't really complain.

I was a bit nervous pushing the front clips in they are pretty tight but i got them in.

Mine is getting delivered tomorrow.

I think mine is coming tomorrow too
And it looks like my display case might arrive tomorrow or maybe the day after, excitement.

Me too.
I paid my £8 VAT bill last week, and they said it would arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

I am getting mine today! Wondering if some postman is thinking "where is all these DeLorean`s coming from..I gotta have one".

 

[fistfulmetal]

So glad to finally have mine in the collection. It's a thing of beauty.

Seen this custom lighting rod on ebay if anyone is interested...

I'm thinking there's a reason they left the rod off. As there are five versions of the car in the movies, each with specific modifications, perhaps it's because of the version they are doing. I reckon this is V2 of the car, with the mount for the lightning rod and clock on the dash. Although this *is* the version Marty uses to escape 1955, it's also(Perhaps more importantly), the one that Doc uses to leave 1985 heading to the future.

...With a big help from a friend at another forum, I was given a 3D printed Mr Fusion to use, which looks great! It arrived broken in pieces and it still needs a lot of work, but this piece alone has cut my time in half! This is not the final look, I used a bit of glue and some sharpie pens to mock up what modding I need to do to properly finish it. So this gives me an idea what it will look like.
On that note, I'm looking forward to dismantling the back end to make this piece fit on a new base. Here the pics... Nothing has been dismantled yet. It's all reference only right now.

Aha. Looks like Shortwookie is making copies. Well done Wookie!

Couldn't find a thread for it, so I'll ask here. Any update on the Time Machine with the Hover Conversion?

I would get the lightning rod hook but I don't think it will fit in my fish tank.
