I spoke to a supplier here in the UK, the Diamond Select Flux is meant to be available in December, I was tempted, but they are expensive.
Will it be more screen accurate than their last disaster?

It's the 'unlimited' version, as far as I know the lights now flux in the correct direction, otherwise I don't know too much else about it.
Until DST actually offers it in battleship grey color I am never even going to consider buying their Flux Capacitor.
Years ago just after they debuted their original prototype and months before the actual release, I emailed them discussing ways to improve it along with several screen shots and photo reference. I told them they need to at least match the grey color and they assured me it's something they would definitely consider. But alas, they did squat.
I chose to only buy the minimates and bought none of their prop replicas, as all suggestions made by me and many other fans to improve the screen accuracy weren't considered. They couldn't even get the Outatime plate right, which annoyed me more than the Flux Capacitor as I spent more time explaining the screen accurate details of the plate. But their Mr. Fusion definitely seems to be something which they improved upon over the early prototype which were shown at conventions. The final version still isn't all screen accurate, but definitely was better than their other BTTF prop replica efforts.
EFX has Joe Walser working on their BTTF product designs and that's the only reason I can be assured the products (at least the prototypes) will be accurate. Whether the products will actually make into production is anybody's guess.

Same story with Sideshow Collectibles. People show them photo references explain this and that and nothing. Even though in the end making it more accurate means getting more $$$$.

Their Mr Fusion is the only prop that is done half decent.
Even so, the price tag attatched is insane.
I don't get how they can get away with saying "even more screen accurate" when they can't even get the colour right...
EFX would seem to be our only hope, but the odds are stacked more against than for :unsure

You just take his piece, sand it a little, paint with a stone paint, weather it and age it, and it looks real.
wicked!! i want one
Me too!!! Are these being made and sold somewhere again?...
His run was a couple years back, but I know he does runs of his Haunted Mansion ones. Maybe he will do another run of these,
