Oh!pEnions: Delorean

Delorean

I love the De Lorean DMC12. I just love it. Ever since I saw it for the first time in Back to the Future, I just fell in love with it. And now, after so many years (or decades) a decent sized toy came out. I won't say its a Studio Model or even a model because if you're a BTTF fan, you will notice its inaccuracies. And if you're a real anal one, you'd be so disappointed to the point of actually committing hara-kiri.

As I have said, its a toy. A toy big enough to fit all your 3 3/4" figures. A toy big enough for you to 'play' out your fantasies. Anyway, I was tempted to get one until I realised a few problems:

1) The box art says "Back to the Furute II" when in fact the car is from the Back to the Future I movie. The is no Mr. Fusion and the wheels do not lock up for hover mode. This was due to licensing royalties.

2) The front grill is slanting and does not even have the 'DMC' logo.

3) The seat belts are molded and painted onto the chair.

And so, I did not buy it. But my heart still yearns for it because:

1) Spurred on by my Iron Modifications successes, I want to incorporate a Radio Remote system into it.

2) I want to modify the lighting inside the car's cockpit, especially the Flux Capacitor

3) I also want to modify all the lighting in the toy.

But lets just see how much I have after the salary 'deductions' and whether its still there in May.......

This is the De Lorean on sale at The Outpost. And for
no reason, I want one. I could not afford it but I want
one. What scares me is the thought of opening it up
and do obscene things with it.

This is the actual version I wanted since well long
long ago. However, I asked myself, why do I need
it for after i bought it? To modify and then sell it
off or modify as a table-piece? The word modify...
