BTTF Memorabilia

[ABlackEyedPea]

Back to the Future is a pretty big series with quite some merchandise made for its fanbase. This thread is here for two reasons.

I'd like to see what you've purchased in relation to BTTF. Mostly things outside of t-shirts.
Do you think Telltale should at least invest in Feelies like the case files for Sam & Max?

I was blessed with living in Florida, not a three hour drive away from Orlando. I rode the ride before it closed and I got a die-cast very highly detailed DeLorean Time Machine, circa Part 2, from the gift shop. Complete with Mister Fusion, the gull-wing doors, the time circuits, the flux capacitor, the hover converters, the regular wheels AND the windshield wipers.

That's all there is for me, though.

I've got 3 1:24 scale model replicas of the Delorean from each of the three films.

And a 1:18 scale model replica of the Delorean from the first film that was put out by Diamond Select with sounds and lights. I'm in Australia though so these things are very hard to come by - yet I picked them all up this year (probably due to the 25th year anniversary)

I know the ride has shut down, but do they still sell any memorabilia in the Universal Studios in Hollywood??

Would be keen to stock up as I'm travelling to the US at the end of the year??

Sadly, I only have three pieces of BTTF memorabilia, all purchased at Universal Orlando back in 2005. A "Where we're going we don't need roads" T-shirt, the first movie soundtrack (two of the orchestral pieces, but mostly the songs), and the Trilogy Score soundtrack (orchestral pieces from all three movies and The Ride).

Oh, and I bought my brother the novelization of Part II at a used book store once.

I really should own more merchandise of my favorite movie trilogy. I'm a bad geek.

I have an order out there for a BTTF 2 Marty Jr. hat...but it's currently on backorder so I don't know when it'll get here.

[Spykes]

I have WAY too much to list. I literally have a 4 foot tall box in my attic filled with BttF memorabilia I collected when I was a little kid. I've got stand-up billboards from theaters, the 5'x5' square black and white photo from BttF1 that used to be in Suncoast Video before they sold it, die-casts of all 3 versions of the car, 2 versions of Marty's hat from 2015, remote control cars, all the McDonalds toys from the animated series, a DeLorean hat from the BttF Ride in Universal, and a ton of other stuff that I don't even remember.

[doggans]

Oh, I also have a movie poster for the first flick, but it's pretty torn up.

[BrendanK]

Hmm, let me see:
- Part 1+2+3+railroad version 1:43 SkyNet models (despite the size, these have by far the best detail of any model ever made)
- Part 2 1:18 Sunstar (steel body with hover conversion and opening doors)
- Part 3 1:24 Aoshima (build it yourself)
- Part 3 motorised racer
- 2 x pairs of Part 2 Pizza Hut sunglasses
- OUTATIME Universal Studios licence plate
- Part 2 Universal Studios keyring (flying Delorean in front of clock)
- The Ride 3D viewer
- Part 2 poster (flying Delorean in space)
- Part 3 poster (clean/no text)
- R4 Aus 3xDVD set, initial release digipak
- R4 Aus DVD, replacement Part 2+3 discs for framing error
- R4 Aus DVD, replacement Part 3 for brightness error
- R4 Aus 4xDVD set, re-release in new digipak and steel tin
- R1 Can 3xDVD set
- R1 Can DVD, replacement Part2+3 discs for framing error
- Every issue of the Harvey comic book, including alternate first issue cover and multiple copies of several issues.
- Official book of the trilogy
- "Where we're going we don't need roads" t-shirt
- Part 3 promo badge

I think that's about it.
I'd love to add a Flux Capacitor if I can get my hands on one!

Some old pics from my earlier shelf setup, I got a bigger custom shelf setup made recently.

Minimates from DST, 20th Anniversary Japanese DVD set at the back (bought it only for the official Outatime license plate and replica of Doc's 1885 letters)





Below the minimates are the 1:43 Aoshima/Skynet DeLorean models. They were made in Japan and though the size is small, the quality of details on these models are far better than the bigger Sunstar and DST models.



1:24 models made by Welly







One of my favourite BTTF items



After wishing it for 10 years, last year I finally got a chance to buy the BTTF Trilogy Prop book also known as the Hollywood SFX Museum: Back to the Future Exhibition

[jp-30]

I have no BTTF memorabilia. But I did make Marty out of LEGO once, and started building a LEGO delorean a few weeks back.

Vivek...you are my new hero.

[Vivek]

Thanks , I am quite happy to have been able to acquire a small collection. Compared to the some of the awesome BTTF collections I have seen through the years on the BTTF.com forum, I am a small fish in the ocean of BTTF collectors.

[BrendanK]

Very well done Vivek!
How does the Japanese DVD licence plate compare to the recent Diamond one?

And yes, the 1:43 Skynet models are the best. The one probelm with almost every model is the lack of detail, especially with the wires that run over the front wheels and under the door, they almost always tend to be thick black blobs. The 1:18 Sunstar sounded promising when it was first announced, but turned out to be quite disappointing.

Just out of curiousity, was there ever a model of any kind released (apart from the animated series McDonalds toy) of the train time machine?

No contest, the Japanese plate is the clear winner. DST couldn't even get the Outatime font right, including wrong font and placement for the words The Golden State. Except for the Universal marking on bottom right, the Japanese plate is very much screen accurate. If you want to buy an Outatime plate go with the ones offered on eBay, which are much better. I wouldn't promote non-official replicas, unless the official ones lack research while putting out their products. Of course someone just looking for a plate that kinda resembles the movie plate could be quite satisfied with the DST plate.

Plate that came with the DVD set.





I also like the packaging that was done for this DVD set.



And the 1885 Letters

Very true, besides those wires they couldn't even get the 3 red capacitors correct on the side. Some Sunstar models had 3 or 2 grey ones instead. Finally for the 4th railroad version they fixed it by adding the 3rd one and made them all red as they were supposed to be. But they still left out the wiring over the rear wheel, instead of going behind the red capacitors. DST repeated that exact same mistake with wiring, I wrote several emails to them and they even told that the early pics were all prototypes, but alas they didn't change anything. Though it is not die-cast and made of plastic, it's still pretty good value for money along with sound effects when compared to Sunstar models. But I still chose not to buy them.

No official release yet, but Randy Cooper made a beautiful custom model of the Time Train.

If I can get the Pictures up, I have a Christopher Llyod Autographed DVD.

[Peepgood]

I had Greys Sports Almanac and Ooh La La in my hand, was going to pay 700 bucks for them both, persuaded it was a waste of money and not to do so, they later went to auction and sold for 15,000 bucks

The "great" Mike Motzart has graciously shows us his collection of BTF Memorabilia on YouTube!

[Rather Dashing]

I don't even own the films on video, much to my own shame.

[Toneiiblue]

I have the Sun Star BTTF2 model, the DVD box set, a couple of the videos from the Animated Series, some of the comics, a few of the McDonalds Happy Meal toys and another model somewhere in storage (have moved around a heap so not sure where it is). Definitely want to buy more though and will be getting anything Telltale releases.

[timetrain]

How cool would a model of the time train be? one that was in HO scale and you could run it on a train layout?! Or maybe a play set of the movie locomotive 4-6-0 No. 131 and the railroad delorean so you could push the delorean? it even comes with track and the unfinished bridge. Maybe something similar will be made along side all the new toys coming out??? I don't know about you guys but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.


I've wanted something similar for so long I actually built my own train and delorean for my train layout.

[doodo!]

Cool thread.
