I think the ornament will end up being slightly larger than the Hot Wheels.

I wouldn't cannibalize this one though. It actually has a lot cleaner detail than the Hot Wheels versions.

Got mine this morning. Actually I got a whole mess of them. It's fantastic! Really nice detail, feels very heavy and solid. Turning wheels, which are correct and very detailed. Take the little eyehook out of the top and you've got a rather excellent model (not certain what scale, or if it even really is one) for $18. I might go get a couple more.

I read this thread and headed to the local Hallmark store. I bought 4 and have a friend that always gives me a Hallmark car ornament for Christmas so I assume she will be giving me a DeLorean this year.
They are really pretty nice. They are around 1/43 scale, not near to the 1/64 Hotwheels. I have many other 1/43 Delorean models that have much better detail but they also cost twice as much or more. (I collect, buy, and sell toy cars and real cars as a hobby so get just about every DeLorean model that comes out.) If this was a stock version I would be getting more. I may go back anyway.

Too bad its the BTTF D. I get sick of never seeing a stock D diecast. Thank goodness for Hot Wheels.

[Dangermouse]

Oh FFS!!

Just when I thought my shop trawling days were over with the last of the HW, this happens. Now where is my nearest hallmark store......

[Kenny_Z]

I know where I'm heading tomorrow...

I just went down to the kitchen to tell my wife I wanted to go to the Hallmark store to pick up an Delorean ornament. She made a big deal about how stupid it was to have an Xmas ornament out of a Delorean. There’s nothing happening lately about Deloreans no movies, DMC stands for Dumb Mouse Car, Your's is in the shop, Why would anyone want a Delorean ornament, Yadda Yadda Yadda.

Anyway I went back to the computer to finish reading the new posts on DMC Talk and she walked in and said Happy Anniversary and handed me this.

Now you can get an idea of the size. They are also $17.95

The envy of how lucky I am to have such a wonderful wife may begin:tongue_stick:

Went this afternoon and picked myself up one. I told my wife about it and told her I wanted one for Christmas but she has the tendency to wait until the last minute. With my luck they would be all gone when she finally went! I figure if she does get me one I'll sell the one I picked up today. They only had two left on the shelf so this might be a popular one. I also picked up the Trans Am ornament for my wife (she's into the '77 Trans Am).

[jawn101]

I went back to get another one this morning and they told me they sold out of the BTTF one in the first 3 hours. More might be coming but they aren't sure if or when. Guess I was lucky to get the ones I did!

[Lenny]

I went out after my wife gave me mine and bought five more. I found a hallmark store close to the house that wasn't in a mall. See if there is a Hallmark store in a strip store near you instead of a mall.

[jawn101]

My closest mall is 15 miles away, the store I've been hitting is in a strip mall. No biggie, I'll just keep my eye out :) Hope other folks are able to find them though, as they're worth the effort IMO.

[DeLorean03]

Got mine today. Great looking ornament - pretty detailed - way better than the Hotwheels one - WAY better. Then again, this one was a bit more expensive ;).

Scratching my head and just curious - why are some people buying more than 1 ?? Just gifts to other family members/friends ? Not trying to give anyone a hard time - just wondering.

Agreed, way nicer than any of the Hot Wheels to date. But 18x more expensive! :)

I got 5 so that I had one for me to play with (we're all big kids here, right?), one to keep in the box, and 3 as gifts :)

[Dangermouse]

Anyone actually planning to put it on their tree?

[jawn101]

Oh, is that what they're for? ;)

[SIMid]

Haven't seen them for sale in Australia yet ......... still looking. But I have seen the Trans Am.

I did scan the poster on the ends of the display unit, showing all the 2012 products, but no BTTF. Is that correct?

[Iznodmad]

I bought one today during lunch, drove to get it in the DeLorean of course. Purchased just one and it will go on the tree along with all the other DeLorean ornaments I have.

That's basically my plan also. I've given out quite a few Hotwheels DeLoreans at cruise nights, etc., but these are more expensive so will only go to people I know.

Hallmark sucks !!!

Well, more specifically, their Store Locator website sucks.

Drove all the way to my nearest store and finally found it, and that it had closed months ago, signs taken down etc.

[Kenny_Z]

I walked in and couldn't find it. I asked the older lady behind the counter for the back to the future ornament and she didn't know what I meant until I said Delorean. She said she bought herself and her grandchildren one. I pointed to Red out in the parking lot. She got a kick out of seeing it.

[lazabby]

Bought mine yesterday. It's sitting on the fireplace mantle waiting for the Christmas tree.

Let me amend the previous statement:

HALLMARK STORE LOCATOR REALLY, REALLY SUCKS !!!:mad2:

Having driven to my closest store yesterday, only to find that it had closed (quite a while ago), today I went to the next closest store to find that it isn't actually open yet !! It's Grand Opening is TOMORROW !!

So, guess where I am going back to tomorrow?

btw, if any of the guys attending Derek's tech session on Saturady, want me to pick one up for them, PM me

[Dangermouse]

Score, at last!

Shop both in business and actually open. Got one for me, one for my son (I mean two for the tree :tongue:) and one for Chris. Vroom, vroom.

[Dangermouse]

And in case Lenny has oddly sized hands:

[mluder]

Visited two stores and both were sold out - the one yesterday told me they sold out in an hour.
These are gonna be hard to find this year...

Today I found a place that has 'em and they're holding a couple for me.

Cheers

$23.99 in Canada, fellow Canucks. I got mine yesterday.

[dmc6960]

At mall of America right now, getting mine and probably at least 4 others here as well.

[Timebender]

Got one on hold to pick up on my way home!

[DrJeff]

Mine arrived in the post yesterday. Probably 50% larger than I was expecting, but not like I will need to get a bigger tree.:p

[Mark D]

Turns out my fiance preordered one back in august and she gave it to me yesterday as a surprise early christmas present!

One more reason why I am marrying this girl :-)

[Lenny]

We picked our tree up today and my wife is decorating it. I'm not allowed to touch the tree. While her back was turned I hung my DeLorean ornament. She came back and yelled at me and said that's not where it goes. I asked her how does she know where it goes, does it have a designated place. Anyway, I took the pictures and left. as soon as I did she removed it. I'll check tomorrow and see where "It Belongs".

Haha!! Sounds like my Mrs as well! All my collectables and DMC artifacts are in one room and do not venture anywhere else in the house.

[Shep]

14987Excellent choice placing it directly in the middle of the blue lights. Just shy of 88! :thumbup:

So I happened to be looking at my ornament box this evening and I noticed something...

"For decorative use only."

WHAT THE GODDAMN HELL ELSE COULD I POSSIBLY USE THIS FOR?

Just think Richard Gere. ( joke only works if your old enough to remember)

[ccurzio]

Yes but hamsters do not come with labels warning against rectal use.

(I'm old enough.) :)

WHAT THE GODDAMN HELL ELSE COULD I POSSIBLY USE THIS FOR?For plugging it into a lamp with wires in an attempt to get it to actually time travel, starting a fire via an electrical short and/or melting of the plastic? Or for the digestive tract of a medium-sized dog, causing untold health issues? Just sayin'

[Dangermouse]

For giving to a kid to play with like any of the Hotwheels cars!

I'm sure there are bits that might come off and choke a toddler. Or lashings of lead paint.
