Aww that sucks. Unless someone tries to dremel the inside of the head out but it's just not worth it.

Well, maybe no one's getting the refference, the rubber baby thing is a line from Last Action Hero, after getting pissed about the kid always knowing what he's going to say, Arnie goes on a rant about how he expects him to say I'll be back or make my day, then proceeds to say rubber-baby-buggy-bumpers

I caught that

I can do it just for a laugh, probably have to be First Blood M65, the Rambo 3 hair might chip the paint on the T-800 neck. I can't wait to photograph this figure.

I am again going to try to hold yours hostage for few days

 

[MaulFan]

Eric likes me, your powers are weak.

The wait is killing me, this is going to be one of the most exciting figures to receive.

I hear that. This is the most bored I've been in ages. The absolute longest time I've gone without receiving a new figure in the post, but probably one of the most treasured HT figure I will ever get to eventually resolve this boredom. End of may gawdammit

Thing is, I could get stuff right now and it probably wouldn't matter, T2 ranks high with me for importance. It's actually a good thing I'm not expecting anything else when he ships because it'd all lose time to T-800. T2 is one of my most favorite films and has strong ties to childhood for me, no ammount of cool figures could compete with that to make me content while waiting for this to show up now. I was ok while it wasn't out, but now that he's out there, I want him to arrive here asap.

 

[a-dev]

I concur. I'm actually known more for my love of Star Wars by those close to me but I daresay I've always loved Terminator just as much, and certainly lately its been my focus. As you said its the ties with childhood, me and my friend arguing over who was the T-800 and who was the T-1000. Strangely we both wanted to be the less advanced model.

That's exactly what I thought when I read this but then I thought... $160 is not too much for a lage action figure?

So true

Same here. When I was younger, I was more into Star Wars because of the fun aspects of it that speaks to younger audiences, as I've grown up, I've come to appreciate other things more, but for a long time, Star Wars was really the only thing out there to buy and collect, so my displays weren't a fair representation of my interestings, that's changing now. If I could have 100s of figures for various things from Rambo or Terminator and other films that mean as much or more to me than Star Wars, I gladly would. I'd say up until the past 4 years maybe, the majority of my collection was Star Wars, but thanks to Hot Toys and Sideshow, I've been able to expand on things like Rambo and Terminator that I enjoy more.

If the detail is good as it is die cast it might be worth it maybe I get that and sell my RC

Do you have a link to that auction? I can;t seem to find a 1:6 diecast fatboy

That's 1:10th scale though, useless for 12" T2 figures, could look nice next to NECA figures, but pretty pricey for an accessory at that scale, especially when none of the NECA figures are made to be riding.

 

[lambo944]

Ive never ordered from Alter-Ego. Are they good? and do they ship fast?

 

[King Darkness]

Alter-ego is great. Have ordered from them a shat load of times, never had a problem.

Yep, if I don't order through Sideshow I order through AE. They even have a rewards program now

How does their reward program work anyway? Apparently I got 2 points for the T-800. Is that like SS's reward points?

Yeah I had no luck finding 1/6 die cast
Sorry new Bright RC Fatboy you are still the one to have

 

[MaulFan]

Other than feeling a bit like a cheap toy, the New Brite really isn't a bad bike for display, but the time you put an awesome figure on it, the toy qualities of it hardly stand out and you just have an awesome visual on the shelf.

 

[Geil]

AND I guess if I risk it I can actually put the RC function to good use even Have you even used the RC function?
