Bummer. But u hear ya about priorities.

As far as PO's, this is it. Maybe the 66 set next year. Actually I like only having one thing on PO.

There hasn't been much that has gotten me truly excited lately. I wish someone would pick up a 1/6 license for Game of Thrones. That would be the ultimate for me.

We might not even be getting figures after October 17th with the debt limit approaching in America.

They'd be thinking ''uhhh, $h!t, these fans might actually be prefer accuracy over our fancy artistic license''.

not before somebody divides by zero.

Well there's inevitably going to be both great and terrible in-hand pics. It'll come down to if you think you can get your figure looking like it does in the 'great' pics.

Well so far, I'm not impressed by either sculpt to be honest. I think the likeness is off, and it looks like Arnold's younger brother. The accessories are cool, but I really don't care about those to be honest, I just want the most accurate and realistic figure on my shelf, so what I'm looking for with the in-hand pics is a revision of the sculpts. If the sculpts are the same then I'll be selling mine. I want to get out of 1/6 anyway and collect 1/4 and up, so I'd rather have Enterbay's version over this.

You know, what surprises me is that hot toys takes an aweful long time to get these figures to us, still the sculpts are usually and obvious off. I wonder why would that be the case, it cannot be like its an impossible task to do?
The fact that they know the 2.0 sell as crazy as the older ones gives them enough comfort to may be not try hard enough or go the extra mile. For us these figures are like a long ardent wait and to hot toys its just manufacturing cost + mark up, or so i feel these days.

I dont collect 1/4 so have poed this and yes i like what i see so far! At leasts its not way off and the accessories do some bit of justification. Overall a must have for me, plus its the first BD terminator i will ever own. I have a spare dx 10 for which i will use the other head sculpt - so am all set!

Delay delay delay means tweaking.

 

[xpl0sive]

Or it could mean, 'we have put this on hold while we pump out more iron man figures, we'll get back to the BD t800 later'.

There's still, what, 2 items yet to be released from the last ''Releasing soon'' poster they did. Then by the time we get one with DX13 on it, it still may not necessarily be the first to come out. I'm starting to wonder if I'll have this figure by 2014, I mean, half of December is a write-off for getting stuff in the post even if the figure is out.

I dont think delays are due to tweaking. The fact of the matter is this is an old movie figure. Number of people buying now, vs 6 months ago vs 6 months later wont change one bit. However some of the newer stuff, they have a narrow window of capitalizing on preorder releases, etc. so definitely this was severly put on a back burner for iron men and others both on marketing and production. Lastly, this baby is up on preorder still and dx10 was on sale for a long time after initial shipment before it went out of stock. Some places its still awailable at launch price. That means they are making way way more of these compared to demand and that affects production facility peak throughput. Hence one more reason for back burner. But still my heart says ... hope its cause of tweaking

I won't lie, if this gets delayed till next year I'll be rather gutted. Its been a $h!t year, I want to at least end it on the note of having had great fun with the DX13.

This delay is costing me money, I keep straying and picking up stuff I should stay away from to keep myself entertained, I picked up thor to add to my classic marvel shelf, I picked up major bludd from sideshows cobra line, a line that I was trying to get out of all together but here I am awaiting his arrival

Anyway whatcha gunna do, I have needs ya know

^ Funny enough, I've held onto this money for a while now. I've spent saved money I had put aside for a certain figure a bunch of times, there just isn't anything I'd love to own at the moment. To be honest, I've been rather bored on the forum for the last few months. So this will be most welcome.

That's what I should be doing, saving for more than one reason. One is so that I will be good at time of release, I don't wanta get caught with my pants down, and two I keep buying stuff will little room to put it, I hate crowded displays yet every time I make more room by selling something or getting another display cabinet I keep filling it up right away

Anyway, first world problems I suppose

Hey guys, what display cabinets are you guys using. I need to invest in more. Any other better options than detolfs...

Same. I've kept buying parts on ebay etc and stuff that in prior times I was going to pass on like Hulk and the ****ing Batmobile. The latter not received yet so, granted, I have that to look forward to if DX13 is put off till next year (and assuming it too isn't delayed with my UK retailer). Me being me though, I'm more excited about a Terminator figure.

edit - I've made it sound like Hulk and Batmobile were impulse buys - they weren't, they were two things I've always had in mind outside of Terminator, but where the choice was them or DX13, DX13 was always going to win out which could have meant that, with inflated aftermarket prices, I would never have actually bought them - thus, money not spent, thus the delays on DX13 have cost me money.

I use the detolfs and a billy, I also added this little guy for displaying cased figures

Hulk is so F'ing bad@$$, I was in for him dx13 or not That said at the moment hulk is figure of the year for me, that is until the dx13 shows up, the dx13 is the only contender that could de-throne hulk this year, if he shows up this year

Did you pick up The Terminator Vault book yet mate?
It's very good.

No I haven't. I'll look for it though. Any nice new behind the scenes pics?
