http://www.therpf.com/f9/mattel-hoverboard-139326/index3.html#post2134495I can't believe there was only one photo of the prototype other than the ones released by Mattel taken at NYTF!
If not that, then Universal could help them i.e. if the studio still has some left. Also apparently companies tend to avoid working outside their own teams as it would result in problems in terms of compensation and I am guessing companies can face problems if someone claims ownership of a concept and design implemented in the final product.I truly believe Mattel needs to get in touch with owners of original boards.
Can you believe people are trying to sell pre-orders on eBay for $225.00 already? Trying to make $100 upfront just to place an order when they start taking orders :lol
@ Razorsharp192 : I'm eyeing your website for a while now, if you're doing a hero version of the hoverboard, count me in as well.

I personally can't believe how bad mine was from hoverboard.uk.org.........
It didn't even hover! Wtf?!? :facepalm:lol
One of the best presents I have ever had. A true credit to the film and very well built. When I have my 2015 Footwear bag hopefully next week or week after, I have a wicked picture idea in mind that I'll post up here that includes your board. Cheers mate, UK build quality at its best ey ;-)
I owned the same bttf123 lenticular hoverboard a few months ago, but sold it pretty much instantly after seeing the awful build quality, foam, dents, peeling stickers, wrong colour lenticular (the lenticular strip around the edge wasn't even 1 continuous piece!), foot strap looked like it was made from a piece of spray painted towel, not what you expect from a prop, fancy dress maybe, but not for a prop collector IMO. I don't mean to knock anyone's work as we're all in the same hobby, but when people are claiming his are the best, it's a bit of an insult to be honest.
I have actually had someone complain once after receiving a hoverboard that they couldn't get it to work (i'm not even joking either!!) :lol
