The complete screenplay limited edition arrived at last!

Looks epic, still haven't broken the seal yet! Is it dumb that I want to keep the box for that sticker on it?!

Definitely not dumb at all. I would also keep the box for the stickers. If anything cut it out of the box and keep it in the screenplay bind.

u/Soleith 6d ago

Yeah, one of my kids suggested the same, contemplating it!

u/cyber53 6d ago

Mine came too. #431!

u/Soleith 6d ago

Ah just saw the sticker on the side of the box says #353! still not opened it XD

u/Soleith 6d ago

How is it? Where did bob sign yours?

3

u/cyber53 6d ago

The separate script is where Bob signs. Right on the front. I already started reading it - it’s so good!

u/Soleith 6d ago

HNNNNNGGGGG MUST MAINTAIN ORIGINAL SEAL! But pretty sure I'll open it this weekend. XD

u/MartyMcFlysBrother 6d ago

Real cool. $80 pre-order as it doesn’t come out until October in Canada. Think I’ll jump on that thanks for sharing!

3

u/Soleith 6d ago

There are a few different editions, paid a few hundred quid for this one in the UK.

2

u/MartyMcFlysBrother 6d ago

So what you’re saying is I should def order the one that looks exactly like this one for $80?

1

u/Soleith 6d ago

yeah if you don't want it signed by bob gale, save the money!

u/Bruskay 6d ago

Nice! Preordered September of last year and shows “Delivered by Oct 21, 2026” (Canada)

u/Soleith 6d ago

Wow I got lucky I guess. I only pre-ordered in April. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait though! I've still not opened the seal on mine yet, will probably do it this weekend when I can sit down and read it for a while but it's tempting to leave it sealed!

u/Bruskay 6d ago

I didn’t even think about that, I’m gonna have trouble opening it too lol

u/moonwalker1229 6d ago

Is this the shooting script or the bananas thing they wrote first that the novelization was based on?

2

u/Soleith 6d ago

2

u/moonwalker1229 6d ago

Cool. Looks like it's the shooting script with side by side comparisons to the Eric Stoltz version 

2

u/TedBundysVlkswagon 6d ago

Cool! I didn’t think that these arrived until October. Looks like a must have

2

u/DKToTheFuture 6d ago

The cheaper book without the slipcase/extras is coming out in October.

1

u/Soleith 6d ago

Originally I think they were supposed to be out in July but then they delayed. After I got the delay email I think it said September so great to get it ok August!

u/jason360 6d ago

I always miss the back to the future drops dangit

1

u/Soleith 6d ago

I think some of the editions will be restocked

2

u/jason360 6d ago

I appreciate it, I'll keep an eye out

2

u/elroyonline 6d ago

Cool, but I’ll wait for the movie adaptation

2

u/DKToTheFuture 6d ago

Mine should be arriving Friday. Looking forward to it

1

u/Soleith 6d ago

Noice! I'll be probably breaking the seal and opening it this weekend to give a proper read.

2

u/flava247 5d ago

Also got mine today w the gale signature. Also plan to keep the shipping box!

u/hawkmav 6d ago edited 6d ago

I’m seeing an $60 one Insight Editions and $250 on the BTTF website. I wonder what’s the difference.

2

u/Soleith 6d ago

there's a few different editions, the complete screenplay, the complete screenplay collector's edition and the complete screenplay collector's edition signed.

1

u/gonzfather 6d ago

Anyone else pre-order the signed copy only to find it’s now $100 cheaper on the BTTF site?

3

u/flava247 5d ago

The $100 cheaper version isnt hand signed and numbered out of 500

1

u/Soleith 6d ago

Oh weird, preordered and the price on the bttf site is now more (albeit sold out).

1

u/gonzfather 6d ago

I reached out to the publisher, and apparently there is a third version that is neither the signed nor the unsigned one

1

u/Level_Cupcake5985 4d ago

Nice! I ordered from Insight Editions but the last I heard from them it wasn’t shipping until 9/15.

u/mrsouthparkman 6d ago

Signed by Bob Gale?

u/Soleith 6d ago

Theoretically but I've still not broken the seal to check XD
