Actually talked to Gary last week in person about Back to the Future and suggested this title as an instant buy for me.
He replied that he wasn't sure of the market for it.

Because they want to address 3 markets at once with a title
- young people, bar visitors, etc...
- collectors like us
- the guy that does a single purchase in his life

I think the first group wasn't addressed with a title like this so that could be a reason why we would never see a bttf from stern in the future. With batman you still have batman as a current thing, back to the future is really an eighties thing.

Anyway he's aware that there is some intereset, just has to fit in the business plan.
Maybe we could start an I would buy it immediately back to the future thread and if the list exceeds 500, we could bring it to their attention
