FEBRUARY 8, 2023 UPDATE: 2 PLATES WITH MINOR DEFECTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE.
SEE MY MOST RECENT POST IN THIS THREAD FOR MORE INFO.
OUTATIME PREORDERS ARE SHIPPING NOW (DEC 2-5) ALL ORDERS WILL SHIP AS SOON AS THEY ARE PACKAGED AND READY TO GO.
This thread is for interest in a possible group order of screen-accurate BTTF 'OUTATIME' license plates.
www.etsy.com
See the photo below for a sample of the finished prop. These are full size 12" x 6" US size license plates.
The blanks will be another type, with sharper, more accurate debossed borders and slightly smaller mounting holes.
These plates would be made by the same company (EHP) that did the actual screen-used props for the movie in 1985, and will have 100% accurate details. Their ordering process is a little more complicated/involved than with most other businesses, but I have an account with them and should have no issues with this order.
The CALIFORNIA red/yellow details and THE GOLDEN STATE text are printed on clear vinyl, and the OUTATIME lettering is an adhesive-backed die-cut material, just like the originals. All details are sealed with a clear coat, with paper registration stickers added to the finished plate.
These are the exact same plates that EFX Collectibles was going to sell before they let their BTTF license expire.
There is another plate that is being offered in May through BTTF.com, but it appears to be a repackaged version of a replica plate that is already available elsewhere, so their plates will most likely have that same idealized / inaccurate detailing. That's fine if you want a cheaper version for a prop display, but the ones I'm offering will have exact, screen accurate graphics from the original source. Exact details, not an approximation.
The price for this item is $100 per plate, which includes free 2-3 day USPS Priority Mail shipping in the US.
Orders outside the US will have an added shipping fee which will be calculated by Etsy when you order.
UK and other international orders will take longer than usual to arrive due to the general slowness of Etsy's Global Shipping provider, and it could take 4+ weeks to receive your plates.
