I have the BTTF 2 version with the wheels that fold down. Has anyone tried to take the wheels out and modify the axle so that the wheels are more snug and not wobbly? This has been the biggest complaint about this model. I'm tempted to unscrew the chassis and screw in the chassis from the BTTF 1 version, but then the wheels won't fold down.

Hot wheels have a Elite collection with high details. They have announced a BTTF with mr. Fusion scale 1:18. No pics yet, but judging from the pics of their 1:18 Ghostbusters Ecto 1 and Ecto 1A it's gonna be pretty good.
I had the Sunstar and it's a nice diecast car, if you can't wait for the Elite version.

Funny story about the Sunstar DMC...
I can tell you EXACTLY why the Mr. Fusion looks like that!
I was working at Universal Studios Hollywood, and my big thing was getting the screen used Delorean restored, mostly because of the Frankencar they turned it into.
BEFORE I had the work done and they used my Krupps and screen-used base to have an accurate replica made and installed, the guys at the Tram Garage who were in charge of maintainance made this...

...out of rolled sheet metal, a base from the BTTF The Ride vehicles and a wood plug at the top.
When the Mr. Lin from Sunstar came out to research the vehicle for their car, I grabbed my keys and gave him the grand tour, inside and out.
I ALSO gave him pics of the "real" Mr. Fusion and went into great detail about the screen accurate version...unfortunately a good portion of our conversation was lost to the language barrier between us...obviously
Their attention to detail is outstanding! The Mr. Fusion on their car looks JUST LIKE this one

I guess its a good thing that the ********* that added crap as an alternate Mr Fusion didnt use an 18" ***** huh. Mr Lin from sun star could have had a nice logo on the box,
Die cast makes great display, and riff you not happy you can grow flux yourself!!
Researches need to research thoroughly, period!!
If you are re creating a famous piece from a famous franchise, then a langauge barrier should not be a problem! Get a fluxing translator on board. What was their excuse for adding the outatime number plate on their part two 1:43 scale delorean.....
Its such a great piece for its price YES!! But that Mr Fusion might as well be a mini ***** because it totally ruins the whole look..
