Update 15 Dec - This came in the mail from my good buddy John (bigjt_2) yesterday. It fits in perfect. Funny thing is, he didn't even know I was buying the hover board.

Look what was waiting for me on my doorstep today. Too bad it's not a Pitbull.

I was planning on displaying it on a stand that you'd put a skateboard on, but the box is sealed shut, so I don't see any way to get it open without damaging it somewhat. Looks like it's staying in it's box for all of eternity.

I almost bought one of those!! I was afraid it would be built so cheaply and break after the 1st time I would try to "hover" with it!! LOL

Been watching these forever. Awesome gift man. The only Pitbull available for the longest time was the actual screen prop, ranging from 10K-25K when listed. But, now someone is making 1:1 scale ones. Compared to the actual prop, the price is somewhat reasonable.

lol, I should've known someone made one.

That is badass bro. Nice grab.

Nightmare

Wow, amazing buy. About time good repros came out, it's almost 2015!

Damn I was actually planning on grabbing one of those and decided not to last minute. Looking at that picture really makes me rethink that decision. Does it have a warning on the box about "these boards don't work on water"?

fatalfuryspecial

dude thats so awesome!

Hey McFly, you bojo, those boards don't work on water!



Unless you've got POWER!

Guess they are missing the sticker that warns about not working on water.



Bob Gale withdrew his endorsement because of build quality.

I still think it looks awesome... but for $150, I have to pass.

SwiftFrost

Bob Gale thinks it's about as awesome as a screen door on a battleship.

Update: Just got another package in the mail today. This one from my good buddy bigjt_2. I'll post a picture soon. Fits in real nice with the hover board.
