The Matty boards have been selling for decent prices on eBay these days. I've seen them in the >300 range.

Yeah I think they're really starting to show their age - stickers coming up, bubbling, etc. I'm glad I only paid, what, $120 for mine?

$120 is a good price. When they were hovering (no pun intended) around $600, I scored mine for $99, sealed box with no mini hover board. That is in part why I have not been too fussed about pulling mine apart. But I DO NEED to get that double side tape and finish this off.
If you have any leftover lenticular then you can make a 2015 police citation

Welcome! A great way to keep this thread on topic would be to share your awesome photos in a new thread. And since they're production made / screen used pieces, there's a section of the rpf just for those things! Check it out here: https://www.therpf.com/production-made-costumes-props/
7 years ago today I received my first prop replica. I never would’ve thought this board will take me down this wild path.

This project fell off the board 5 years ago, this is where it sits. I printed Roland vinyls for it but at this point I feel like I should start from stratch. I would like to:
-Replace vinyls, velcro
-Upgrade the footstrap and mechanism
-Upgrade the magnet/battery area
It looks like kits have come and gone. Can anyone point me to ideas that would make this decently better than original?
There's a NIB one on the Back to the Future Collectors Facebook group for $350

Can I revive this and ask if these are worth the £300 price tag over a £50 Halloween Costume one that's modified?
They are both crap. But if you're just a collector and not a speculator, I would suggest you to buy the HC board and modify it as screen accurate as possible.

I just want one on a display with my other Props, so I want it to look good given lots of my props are 'decent'.
Im not very DIY orientated though, so my limit will span to sticking down new velcro and Mattel stickers. I can't anything too intricate.
Still suggest the HC? (I can buy one for £50), the Mattel will be £280 for me.
There are only three differences between the Mattel and HC boards as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong): missing Mattel logos, battery and sound at the HC boards. The sound of the Mattel boards is terrible - you really don't need it. And the logos and battery can be added. The Mattel board isn't worth that much money.
