What are your plans for this? I need to find a great way to display this.

I have a plinth in the middle of my man cave - thinking of a lone
Pine mall base but I also want a turntable because I want to be see all the angles. It's a huge peice and the most expensive Ive ever bought/am buying

Same here, no chance it will fit in a detolf, I imagine, gonna have to buy a fish tank ugh or get Marty a bit dusty.

Does anyone know if we ARE actually getting the option to plug this bad boy into the mains? This would make it so much better, none of my other collectibles get their lights turned on simply because I don't want to leave batteries in them in case they leak, and it's a hassle turning every one of them on separately.

I know it mentions that an AC/DC adaptor is not included, but will there still be a plug socket in it if we want to use our own?

Why would you want to leave the lights on using an ac/dc adaptor ? You do realise leds have a lifespan and the longer you leave them on the more chance they have of burning out.

I dont think anyone will be able to answer that for certain, but I have seen the plug in a few pics. Who knows if that is just for display purposes for only them. But I really hope so.

I would love the option, I dont think anyone would run them 24-7 a few hours a day (or night) will still last awhile. And even though leds do you have a life span they are easy to swap out just like the 1989 batmobile.

I wouldn't leave them on constantly, but having them on when you switch the lighting on the rest of your collection would be nice, which is only possible if they are connected to one mains supply.

I'm assuming that the one on display is connected this way, however the proto could be different to the finished product, and the 'adaptor not included' could just be a lost in translation 'no mains connection possible'. Hope this isn't the case though.

If you look on eBay etc there are plenty of battery replacement adaptors. I'm thinking of getting one. As you say I don't want them on all the time but depending on where the switch is its a real pain. Ie terminators etc to pop them on for a little look.

From the Kingdom Come Exhibition in Bangkok.

Totally worth the $700+.

Anyone know what that battery thing is? Looks like a mini jumper to get the car started I mean Marty had a hard time getting her started at the end of BTTF but come on HT's

The hub caps look nice and the parts that are metal actually look like diecast metal.

I can't say for certain, but does the DeLorean in the latest pics have a metallic sheen, whereas it did not at SDCC?

I thought so too, but could be the same lighting that is hurting the other protos like Ripley and Han Solo

The metallic sheen does look better! But they're still missing the proper wire detailing across the top of the dash. And someone set up the display with the glove compartment gauges facing 'towards' the window on the dash. LOL!

Other than that it looks incredible! Hoping the flux dispersal bands light up blue as well (even though they haven't shown anything like that). Could probably be achieved using light sheet under the perforated dispersal bands.

If thats all you could find wrong with it, then thats pretty good, the flux does light up, unless you mean something else.

I've seen the flux capacitor light up, but not the flux dispersal bands that glow blue during time-travel (wrapped around the front bumper and rear sides).

Ah gotcha, yeah that would be a very nice addition, now would you want that on all the time or separate from the standard working headlights and tail lights? Like 2 switches?
