Those appear to be the RD Mags, from what I can see on my phone screen.

Yes, it is ! All is identical !

So you're saying this site is trying to pull a fast one?

 

[Irish Guy]

Yes, only the RD Mags contained the 'Its about time' poster/booklet!

Is that poster/booklet really difficult to replicate?

 

[TheNickFox]

The poster isn't difficult to replicate...I've done it and posted it elsewhere on the board for download.

Forget the poster. I just pulled the pictures up on my computer, and there is no doubt that those are pictures of the RD Mags. There are very specific, minute tells that they could not have replicated in the period of time since the last K-Mags were put out.

And if you still want to believe that somehow the knockoff makers suddenly found a way to make a 100% product without access to the originals, here are Google image searches showing some of the images were posted LAST YEAR!

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

...and I could do this with ALL of those pictures. Whoever posted them just googled for pictures of the RD Mags to post.

I had no doubt this had to be some sort of scam... just putting it out there that some sites will do anything to get people to buy with them. It is too good to be true.

They're a size 10, but needed to post it on ebay so I could try and do a package deal to get rid of my extra hover board Back to The Future 2 BTTF Nike Air Mag Size 10 Mattel Hover Board Lenticular Hat | eBay
My reserve is $500 to cover the item's actual costs, but worse case scenario... I don't sell them, owe the $8 in listing fees and end up making my own lighted strap.

I strongly believe the next batch made will be significantly improved and probably a lot cheaper.

Yeah your probably right man. But gutted you won't post to GB as would have made a nice pack with the board and cap

Be very careful with the acetone. It will eat certain parts of the shoes. I did use it on the mid-soles when I had to remove some of that grey paint I did the PVC upper in and it made the spots where I rubbed it quite smooth. I dare say it would eat the urethane if enough was used.

If you end up making the clear soles for sale, then I will probably have to use acetone on the mid soles where the outer soles would go to make them deep enough for the clear soles. The depth that they come with isn't deep enough.

Its not, but that is OK. Yes I know the screen used prop's soles were flush with the mid-sole, but for anyone actually wanting to wear these, you really want some elevation. If the recess is 3mm and soles are 5mm, perfect IMO. I would have 2mm of clear past the grey and that just means that I have some wear of the harder shore rubber before I reach the softer foam of the mid-sole.

I think that would look and feel weird. I think I'll go ahead with it, but not for a while obviously.

I hear that. Sods law says I just spent $200 on one of those hoverboards and then that sale is put up!

This image may not show what I am wanting to share, but here you can see there is a height difference between the original level of the sole and the new clear sole.

I went from the flush sole of the V1 to this and the results were better than I expected.

 

[MRBATHINGAPE]

Were those made from scratch?

 

[Man]

I think he tore down the V1 mags for the mid soles but i be leave he made the clear soles from scratch.

The mid-sole is from a pair of V1 MAGs and I made the clear parts myself using a cold cast clear elastomer. I simply painted the V1 soles with that flexible paint (you will find in my build thread) and then used Shoe Goo to attach the clear outer-soles.

Splat was done by using equal parts of green and blue (I used spot marker paint like is used on roads) mixed, then flicked on with a stiff brush. Of course I had to mask the clear up first.

I would try utilizing a Jackson Pollack technique...

Sure The paint I used is in a pressure pack and I have thought about depressurizing them to allow the paint to be poured out and mixed. From there, use small container with a small hole in the bottom and let the drip through. Maybe even suspend the paint with string and let the pot swing back and forth.

Still putting the Tube Bag on hold?
