Following last year's storied release of the Nike MAG, toy company Mattel recently announced the possibility of the Back To The Future hover board releasing.
Replicating the exact hover board used in Back To The Future, the hover board will glide and not exactly "hover," according to Mattel. Mattel will be taking pre-orders for the hover board March 1st to the 20th, and will only go into production if the minimum number of pre-orders is met.
Mattel's official press release read as follows:
“Back to the Future Hover Board: Finally! This totally awesome 1:1 replica of the hover board from the BTTF 2 and BTTF 3 films includes multiple whooshing sounds and will glide over most surfaces (does not actually “hover” – check back in 2015 for that feature). We’ll be taking orders for it March 1 – March 20, 2012, and the final product will be shipped around November/December 2012. Because this is such a high-cost item, there will be a minimum number of orders required to go into production. If we don’t receive the minimum orders, won’t go into production and customers will not be charged. The price will be announced later this month. (Note: Hover board does not work on water.)”
