When you order, if you use a debit card how does the 'hold' work? Do they just simply take the whole lot when it ships? I can't afford for them to take it this month really.

think it has to be a credit card
As I said before: It seems they only accept credit cards, no debit and no prepaid cards.

Has anybody in the US preordered or tried to preorder using a prepaid/gifcard? My brother only has one credit card, and doesn't want to use it online. I know Roland didn't have any luck, just wondering if anybody else has.

Here's an interview with where you can see Bob Gale's hoverboards that Mattel is going to use for reference. I really like the practical hover effect; never knew about that one. The interviewers are pretty annoying though, lol. Hollywood Treasure - Bob Gale extended interview Part 1 - YouTube

can't wait for the Hoverboard, ordered one from Germany..
with UPS International $188 ..not incl. Tax/Vat
but whatever, it's the Hoverboard
Yea me too, but what the hell. Highly recommend going for UPS option as the standard isn't trackable. In plain English that means if the idiot delivery guys lose it/break it....tough.
NEW UPDATE: Bob Gale visits Mattel headquarters with his Screen-used hoover boards:
BEYOND THE MARQUEE Heads “BACK” to MATTEL | BEYOND THE MARQUEE
BEYOND THE MARQUEE Heads “BACK” to MATTEL | BEYOND THE MARQUEE
Thanks for the update.
In the not so staged photo of the boards on the table I spy calipers. My confidence in this board being accurate just increased. If we see color matching I'll order another.

Here are some pictures posted on the Mattycollector Facebook page, some good stuff. I'd love to see one of those concept hoverboards done.

I don't think so
Not as iconic as the pink board.

I say they would do it. After the Ghostbusters PKE meter came out Matty asked what prop would we like to see next and they gave us the option of the goggles, trap, and proton pack. I'm sure Matty would do the same with BTTF stuff and see what most people would want if this sells well which I'm sure it will.
