Hot Toys - DX13 - T2: T-800 (Battle-Damaged Version) 1/6-scale Collectible Figure

[a-dev]

I might have thought twice about trading in the whole HT line for the EB T-800 if it wasn't so T-1000 dominant, this set would have probably sealed it for me.

How extensively do you think you'll jump back into Terminator collecting? Did I understand you right that you now have no HT Terminator figures?

I just noticed that it has the thumbs up hand. They should have emphasized it in one of the pics.

Too bad there's no other figure to give the thumbs up to.

He can give it to you, Fabio. . .he can give it to you

I have only NECA Terminators now. I'm not getting hugely back into it, but BD T2 has been a high priority for me my whole high end collecting life. Whether I go EB or HT for it is yet to be determined, but either way, it'll be a stand alone figure, but my favorite look representing my favorite movie in the series.

^ yep, that's a great one. (The pic a couple posts up)

I'm surprised you aren't gonna go for both Maulfan, knowing how big a fan you are.

Pre Ordered!

My pose of choice will be the pistol and grenade launcher "search mode" before he gets really jacked up!

Budget, if I can even get one of them, that'll probably be it for the year, bought a condo in July, not much money for this stuff these days, and sold a lot to help pay for the place.

 

[karamazov80]

Ah, well I hope you can get one of them at least!

If I had to guess I'd say he was basing his prices off of Enterbays other figures. If there first T-800 was $400, then I have no doubt that the BD T-800 (which will be way more complex) with light up parts, etc. will cost more. Im bet Enterbays BD T-800 is around $480 shipped.



Edit: And Voorhees, please stop being nerd.

Ha. Comical.

Your story, gotta admit, has put a disturbing thought in my head - that by buying all this stuff now I'm only setting myself up for torture and anguish when I'm asked to sell it all in the not-so-distant future.

This set looks pretty great. If the price was the same as DX10, i would have already pre-ordered.

The EB BD i am getting 100%. If that one only has the damaged arm look, i will probably get the HT as well.

Still contemplating whether to keep the T-1000 head, or sell it online to some sucker... i mean.. fellow collector to take some load off the price. I really like it, but $40-50 bucks to save is also tempting.

We all really enjoy this hobby, but I'll tell you, when you carve a collection down and even find yourself forced to sell the things you really really like, you find out just which ones truly mean something to you and which were more of an indulgence because you could. Everything I still have, I cherrish more now than I used to when I had it amongst so much else. It's very easy to spend when you have the money to do so and get swept up in the fun of it all, but sometimes you also will find, you hurt your ability to take bigger, more important strides in life because of what you've poured into this hobby. If I could go back and just never buy what I sell, as some had to sell for less than I paid in the first place, I would. Lesson learned.

Right now, I have 2 things I'd like to buy as far as high end products go, BD T-800 and HT Hulk. Some NECA stuff coming that I want but that's a lot easier to deal with.

WOW, I was way off on the pricing on this one, I guessed about 260 max, and its 305 bucks Not so sure about getting two at that price, I did pre-order the exclusive at sideshow just because it's the exclusive, not a must have I must admit, but thats how exclusives should be.

I'm already finding all this to be true. I've had to sell a lot of stuff over the past year and I'm now gearing up for my largest selling spree since I began forum commerce (hopefully). With it I hope to end my 'need' for any figures outside of Terminator and Robocop. What worries me though is that the day will come when I won't even be able to keep those anymore. The way I feel right now thats gonna hurt if it transpires and it quite possibly will. I can't stay in this little flat forever, kids and whatnot. Hopefully by then I will naturally have had a huge (and willing) priority shift so it won't feel as traumatic as I'm currently anticipating. For example I'm having to come to terms with not being able to get the 1989 Batmobile - something I used to assume as a foregone conclusion that I would have one day - its getting easier to accept. Though I do have to avoid the thread for it.

Don't worry about it, the majority of us will end up selling all this stuff off. These aren't the kinds of things you hold onto for a lifetime. We're not going to be 70 years old kicking back looking at our Hot Toys collections. Just enjoy them while you have them, because you're not going to miss them as much as you think when they're gone.

Imo this is very true. Been thinking about that lately too
