Sure did come out fast, maybe we should get Mattel to make a binnacle.

Got home today and my hoverboard was here. All the bitching and moaning everyone was doing over these astounds me. Other then the two pieces of Scotch tape on the graphics there are no air bubbles or any of the other blemishes people are complaining about. For 120 bucks it's not perfect but I'm going to love displaying this piece, to all the naysayers and haters, if you didnt spend the 120 bucks to get one STFU and move along.

To show that Steve isn't the only one with awesome hats, I present you this fine specimen:
Look at my amazement as the little girl on the box demonstrates how cool this thing is!

Am I the only one who's nerd enough to notice this is all way more wrong than just Mattel not getting it 100% screen accurate? It's missing the HANDLE BARS!! Remember? The ones Marty unceremoniously ripped off when he stole it!? I get they were only featured for about half a second in the film, but this products packaging is running with the fiction that this is what it would look like if say a "future" kid was buying it at the Lone Pine Mall. Right?

Completely agree. I think it should have come with handlebars, to be complete and proper.

I had air bubbles on mine... Disapoionting for a $120 piece.
While we're at it - Not a fan of the glued box. Not very collector frinedly.

All this talk of bubbles has got me worried if mine will have them. It sounds like Matty will let you exchange your board if you call customer service to complain about bubbles/creases on the sticker.
About the box - has anyone tried using a heat gun to melt the glue to open it? Maybe the glue isn't the kind that melts, I don't know. I've been able to open other boxes without tearing using heat, might work here.
