I'm super frustrated with these shoes, or better yet lack of quality control. First pair were too small and were not the size I ordered. Got the second pair and there was a huge chunk of leather scraped off about the size of a dime on the point above the strap on one show. How could that be overlooked?!?!? Also, the second pair blue lights on the sides looked like ****. They were uneven, thin lines that looked like carnival glow stick necklaces. My first pair were very bright and looked great. I'm letting them send me a third pair.. If they aren't correct I'm gonna get a refund and probably just give away my upgrade logo kits. I guess I'll just wait and spend a small fortune on the official power laces ones if they ever come out.

thats my biggest concern with receiving another pair. It's why I'm waiting for them to get here before I return anything.

I saw a few of the HC Marty McFly costumes over the weekend like this guy. I think the only thing that wasn't HC was his DS hat.

I saw someone at Dutch ComicCon who was wearing it too.
She made it herself. It looked pretty good!
The whole crew was there: Marty & Doc, Biff, George McFly..







The main reason why I went too ComicCon:





And meeting Claudia Wells & James Tolkan..
Can't wait for Film&Comicon London to meet the one and only Michael J Fox!!

I must say, that Hoverboard of HC is amazing quality!
Just had mine arrived a few weeks back.
Compared to the Mattel it has much more better adhesive. As the Mattel ones peek of or have wrinkles...

I am going to order another pair of V2's though,
Mine have a stain on the white "lace" that won't come off, it looks a production flaw because it's not on the surface.
It bothers me too much...

Have you used a fabric dye or a fabric paint? Might be more cost effective that ordering new V2s.

 

[001FAB]

No, not yet.
I guess I haven't thought about it.
Thnx ! I will definitely try it first[emoji106]

new pair will be waiting for me when i get home. that was fast. i'm crossing my fingers that they are as nice, glue stains aside, as the other. and at least one of the buckles is in fact size 11.

 

[stprime]

my kits from mp are here too although i'm not sure if they will go out today or not.

 

[stprime]

kits are ofd too as well as my stuff from angelus! i need to find some super strength fabric friendly glue so noting falls off the first time i wear these.

 

[stprime]

Well...
The shoes were NOT as nice as the last pair so I kept the best buckle off the new pair, replaced it with the 14, and will send them right back tomorrow. I was hoping to get a second try at the toe mod but I won't complain.
Ordered the wrong turquoise, some how ordered blue instead or regular.
Kits needed to be signed for, no one was here, so I'll have to pick them up tomorrow.

 

[stprime]

ok. which one....

I have a spot on my laces, which I'm sure was a mark to line up the lace before sewing. Let us know what you did and if it works. I might need to give it a try.

Also figured out that the insole is pretty thick. And anyone can get a lot more space in the shoe if they remove the insole, for anyone with wide feet or borderline fit issues.

And just a heads up for anyone who needs a jacket. The HC future jacket will be back in stock on July 3rd.

 

[cavx]

I really don't like that jacket. I wish they would re-work it.

So no suggestions on which gluey to use?

Which mod do need the glue for?

 

[stprime]

Swoosh. Letters. And gluing straps together once I finish soldering.

That Loctite stuff in the bottom of your picture would probably do the trick for all of that.
