Horror.com Forums - Talk about horror. - Mattel making Back To The Future hoverboard!

First, the Back to the Future Nike Mags came out. (http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58619)

Now, Mattel has announced that it'll be making the pink hoverboard Marty McFly made infamous in Back to the Future II.

My life is complete. Well, almost.

The Mattel hoverboard doesn't actually hover as it's only a 1:1 replica of the movie version but that's okay! It's still a must-have piece for any BTTF fan. The ad for the BTTF hoverboard at Toy Fair claims its "movie accurate" (there's a hole where Marty ripped off the pole) and can "glide over most surfaces" (though it doesn't work on water, heh).

Mattel will start taking pre-orders for the hoverboard from March 1st through the 20th and will ship the board during the 2012 holiday season. But what would give die-hard fans a bit of pause is this part of Mattel's press release:

Quote:

Because this is such a high-cost item, there will be a minimum number of orders required to go into production. If we don't receive the minimum orders, won't go into production and customers will not be charged. The price will be announced later this month.

Pre-orders will be taken on MattyCollector.com.
