I love how they use the words "kids" and toys" for $130 I don't think it's a kids toy.

I hate how Mattel keeps making these thing in limited quantities for insane amounts of money.

Keep catering to the rich Mattel!!!

Its a little harder to build then that. All of the plastic pieces on the bottom of the board, the footpad with the fuzzy pink strap, the linticular honeycomb holofoil print on the front of the board and after all that, they are adding sound effects via motion controlled. I understand at first it seems like a plank of wood with some stickers, but it's much more than that.

[parkerboi0812]

Why are you here if you don't believe you lame

[steveothehulk]

this is sadly as close as we will ever get in our lifetime to a real hoverboard

[steveothehulk]

dont be silly lol you will never be able to ride a hoverboard even if it could hover which they cant you wouldnt possibly be able to controle it,

as awesome as it would be and id love to see a real one but the reality is it wont happen, and yes i did send a letter to matty all those yrs ago asking for one ha

hoverboards go under "will never happen" along with lightsabers, proton packs etc etc its just fantasy

[JaCk CaCk]
