Alberto, sorry with so many messages from you my inbox got a little confusing. There are at least three of you named Alberto... Anyway, I answered you there, but I'll answer you here as well so everyone knows. Please keep checking www.weregoingback.com for deck ordering details. We had to wait for approval from Universal Studios before offering decks. We have the approval now, and so those of you who are interested in decks will be able to order them soon.
But before making anything available, I wanted to make sure that 100% of the boards, including all replacement boards have been shipped, and that Madrid has everything squared away so that nobody has to wait more than the normal amount of time for shipping if they order a deck.
AND, for Pitbull and the few of you here who had coper issues and sent me a request for replacments that I forwarded to Madrid... Madrid found an extremely small number of copers that you will be happy with. Updates coming soon.

Thank You very much for the reply!
Looking forward of getting a boart the stickers and the correct copers and probably the wheels, about the trucks and stuff should be easier to find them around.

Pitbull,
As promised, here is a photo of your new board and hardware, pre-installation. Your components were each hand selected by Madrid to be as perfect as possible. Your board will be shipped with extra care, shrinkwrapped and with all the appropriate decals included and as I requested, you've been given $100 off. Shipping to you will also be covered to reimburse you for your shipping the first board back. Once you sign off on the parts in the image, I will have We'reGoingBack.com send you a paypal request. Paying the discounted rate directly to WGB will be the best way to avoid any additional issues. Madrid will be notified immediately once your payment has been made and your board will ship as early as the same day. I hope this is an acceptable resolution for you.

Cool. Yes, the copers will say Madrid. The photo was taken pre-assembly. The trucks are just sitting in the right place, but weren't installed. I have received confirmation of your payment and Madrid has been told to assemble and ship your board. Let me know when it arrives.

Madrid managed to get their hands on a very small number of those flat-bottomed copers, literally like six pairs. Madrid is using them to exchange the parts for those who got the curved modern copers and have already requested an exchange. They're a very mixed blessing because there aren't enough for everyone.
So, I know that this isn't a solution for everyone, but to make it count I took one pair of the flat-bottomed copers and I will make the mold we've been discussing. That way, everyone who wants a pair can get a pair, assuming the castings work out. It will take some time and a few tests, but eventually everyone who wants a pair will have that opportunity.
Lastly, a couple of people here have sent requests to WGB and/or Madrid asking that they receive the same discount and tailored care that Pitbull received. Everyone's boards will receive proper care and everyone will receive the parts replacements they've requested from Madrid. However, Pitbull's situation was unique and so was the solution.
Are the copers the exact ones used in the movie, or they just found random flat bottom copers that fit the board?

I'm not sure yet. I'm going to Madrid early next week and I'll compare them to the screen-used board. Either way, I'm making mold(s).

Update:
Pitbull, your board has been double quality checked, packaged properly and it has been shipped.
And, aside from replacement parts, ALL skateboard orders have left the building. It wasn't easy to say the least, but I'm glad I was able to help everyone here get what they wanted and hopefully by taking so many hits, you'll all enjoy your boards more than you would have.
Moving forward, no more complete boards can be offered due to all the issues Madrid had sourcing hardware, however, we were given an extension on our license from Universal Studios and so finished Valterra DECKS ONLY will be available very soon. www.weregoingback.com/store
All of the other boards (not the Valterras) can be ordered complete, including the Pitbull, the three gang boards and the two Mattel style boards.

Thanks.
Well, it's been really quiet in here for a while now. I guess everyone got their boards.
