I have the Entertainment Earth exclusive Back To the Future II version.
I haven't read the review yet, but from my own experience I am a bit let down with it. The main thing that I don't like about it is that the sounds are not activated by moving the car parts. What I mean by this is that if you open the doors the thing doesn't make that cool door sound, and when you flip out the wheels for hover conversion it doen't make that cool hovering sound either. Also don't get me started on the switch that makes the wheels fold out for hovering because it sticks and it feels like I'm going to break it everytime I use it. With that all said let me list a few Pros and Cons. I will start with Cons first... Cons: 1-Not licensed by DMC. 2-Sounds are not activated by moving the car parts. 3-Switch for hover conversion sticks and is hard to move. (this might be on mine only.) 4-Tires are too loose and wobbly in hover mode. 5-Not made of metal. 6-Stickers peeling off due to poor adhesive. 7-Flimsy made plastic parts that are easily prone to breakage. 8-Exposed wires sticking out from places they shouldn't be. (This might only be on the one I received.) 9-Not entirely screen accurate. 10-No separate switches to leave certain lights on such as the headlights. Pros: 1-The scale...We can fit Joe's in this thing. 2-The lights...The blue "neon" is amazing! So is the Flux compasitor! 3-The weight...feels a bit heavy like metal even though it's plastic. 4-Hover conversion...Even though I'm not completely happy with it I'm still glad that it has this ability. 5-The packaging...I think the box looks great and so does the insert. This gives people a few display options. All in all I do like this piece, and for the price I paid for it I really shouldn't complain. I'm still upset about the fact that when I open the door or flip the wheels out for hovering it doesn't make any sound, but I guess I can get over it. I still wish that this was a Sunstar Delorean instead though. The hover switch on mine is smooth as butter and I've had no issues moving it back and fourth, etc. For the price you weren't going to get some of the electronic options you wanted. |

The license plate sticker was way crooked on mine. I had to carefully peel it off and re-apply it.

FYI to you Delorean buffs, this company based in Texas bought the rights to Delorean and are making them again. It's a long story, but basically they are building Deloreans again.
Wasn't there a Tanker or two here that owns one? DeLorean Motor Company - Home "Beginning in 2008, we have been building “new” DeLoreans from our inventory of new old stock (NOS), original equipment manufacture (OEM) and our line of reproduction parts. We intend to build 24 cars a year, at the rate of two per month. Orders are now being accepted." |

Just got it today, The TRU one seemed to be the Mark one version from the 1st movie, san hover convertion and mr. fusion (Not opened yet to see of the parts are replacedable or not for convertion). The exclusive seemed to be the Real version 2, and seem to be in high demand if located for the extra features.
Personaly I still prefer the Classic I have now or the BTTF3 version if ever released for both had the homemade/kitbashed.built in the garage feel the "futureized" version losted, that and I never liked part 2 that much, felt too rushed. |

Yeah the Part 2 versions is the rarest and hardest to get now. Glad I scored it when I did. Looking over all the versions, it's clearly the best.

I know I'm super late to the party...but I finally broke down and bought one of these. I too picked up the EE hover conversion version. Simply said, I think this thing is awesome. It's odd that the name Delorean is no one to be seen but that's a pretty minor issue. For me it's mostly gonna sit on display on a shelf so that the light and sound button is handy to hit. Now where is my Marty McFly figure?

"E Honda not a chance"...
Let that be a lesson to all wannabe Sumo Wrestlers... you will have to give up your ability to travel through time.
