ufemizm Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I am curious about the cassette player and headphones. Does it fit well on Marty? They fit, but the walkman is too thick to fit in anyone's hands, and there is no Sleepytime George McFly to pair them with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmaster12 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I got the set today from Luke's, and I'm really pleased with it! I love the new Doc, and Strickland is an okay looking figure. Marty's just kinda bland, though he's growing on me, and I like his board. Biff is okay, but the face kinda ruins everything, as he looks....Uhm, what's the word? Derpy, I think?

Ivan Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Good news for those who missed the first run of TRU Deloreans... err, uh, Mini-Time Machines. While out hunting for the Thor Wave (great success), I came across two full pegs of Deloreans. Eight in total, probably two solid cases worth. No MAX Jets or Terminator Tanks to be found. The figure and vehicle look to be identical to the previous release apart from the manufacturer date stamps. Marty changed from 100611KK to 101210KK and the Delorean went from 100618KK to 101224KK.

storm 1:08 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I saw the same thing at TRU while hunting for Thor (knowing it'd be failure but it was on my way home from the comic shop). The Deloreans weren't there when I was at TRU this past weekend so it must be a new restock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty changed from 100611KK to 101210KK and the Delorean went from 100618KK to 101224KK. This re-run/different batch revelation is intriguing especially if the TRU Wave 9 differences are significant.

MsMarvel fan Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 anyone else have a really hard time getting some of the stickers on their time machine? I tried to unscrew the screws and pull it apart to make it easier, but couldn't. Stickers 7&8 are lost somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 It is tricky, I used tweezers to get them in the right spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 i got to say after the mock 5 and shooting star i was sure the time machine would suck a$$. but i have been really very surprised. it is a lot of fun, the mates look good in it, and sure it does look a little funny, but not like it came out of a happy meal.

I tried to unscrew the screws and pull it apart to make it easier, but couldn't. Stickers 7&8 are lost somewhere. I actually used a small computer screwdriver and was able to remove the screws, the top separates really easily from the bottom. The dashboard is glued on to the top half of the car, but can be removed to better facilitate sticker application. I really don't know how DST expects the dashboard stickers to be applied without taking the damn thing apart, and this is from someone who applied thousands of 'No-Steps' to the 80's G.I. Joe vehicles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try to unscrew it and pull it apart to give my average sized fingers a better reach at the application, but one of the screws just tuned in place and didn't tighten or retract. At least the flux capacitor is pretty much straight. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I received the latest BTTF stuff yesterday & I was surprised(although I wasn't surprised ) that there aren't that many cases of these produced. Many people seem to have missed the boat more than once on this line ,I'm no BTTF nut but these Minimates have always been special so don't hesitate.

buttheadsmate Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 167 cases of 12.....2000 sets,compare that for example with the latest X-Force set, 250 cases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish her vest was a seperate piece, to give her that '80s "puffy" look she had going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 OH, thats awesome! Can't tell though, is it the original Jennifer or Elizabeth Shue? Either way, keep the BTTF mates coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I saw it on BBTS earlier today, as well. Her hair does look a bit short now that I think about it. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I saw it on BBTS earlier today, as well. Her hair does look a bit short now that I think about it. . . Hopefully DST will swap the short hairpiece with Shadowcat's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) I just got the 25th Anniversary set from Luke. By itself, it doesn't do much for me (apart from using Doc Brown with the full radiation suit with helmet and gloves look), but the parts included are pretty excellent for minor kit-bashes IMO. Doc Brown's hair flat out sucks. I don't know what they were thinking here. I'm sure there are other, existing hair pieces that would have been much better for this character, even if they didn't want to re-cast the head from box set #1's Brown. The Marty and Biff are pretty boring, and unnecessary variants IMO, though I can see folks who missed out on the first box set being interested in this Biff. Strickland is pretty cool actually, but a minor character that probably won't make it to my display. Too bad he didn't come with a shotgun, but then, there aren't many references to BTTF 2 in this set apart from the title on the packaging that I'm aware of. Here's some pics: The Marty face is pretty excellent: Here's the hairpiece on my display Marty (using the first box set's body and the BTTF 3 Marty's head). I'm not really a fan of this hairpiece.: Doc with the V1 head: Edited June 5, 2011 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 In case anyone is interested, it looks like TRU is getting more shipments of the first wave of vehicles. But this time its a solid case packout of the BTTF Delorean. Plus they are still on clearance when I found them for 9.98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 My TRU had a whole bunch of Delorians w/ Marty for less than $8. I finally picked one up for the Mary repaint alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
