No Wonder!!
Got my Sideshow delivery today! 
I couldn't believe it when I went into work and saw a box there. I assumed it had to be something else I'd forgotten I'd even ordered because my T-800 wasn't supposed to arrive till friday and even then I assumed that merely meant 'arrived in destination country'. I thought it'd be wednesday next week before i saw it because of an irish bank holiday. And yet I have it now..at long last :chewYou guys aren't joking, he is truly incredible! Even things like the jacket being too open is a flaw that fades into insignificance when you see it in person. I'll still do the paperclip trick but its actually not as essential as I thought.
The eyes THE EYES!! They took them out of Arnie's head and shrunk them to 1/6th. The hair is stunning and gives his head the correct shape, the skintones are Enterbay-realistic!
I haven't swapped out t-shirts or the arm yet. All that excitement still lays ahead of me tonight.
Two things against it though, the endo-arm looks beautiful but it possibly is indeed too long for it to match the other arm if there was flesh over it. And secondly this type of neck joint just doesn't work for me. Theres a little gap where the jaw meets the neck, its not huge, but it detracts from the realism somewhat. I really would have rathered the joint at the base of the neck like Neca did on theirs so the line would be hidden. Yeah it would look wierd in the torso if you have him naked but no ones going to permanently display him like that anyway. So instead we have a figure where this line is always visible. Again its not the worst case but there was a better alternative IMO.
Anyway..time to go play.

believe me, this figure is well worth the wait.
Oh yeah. Well it was indeed FedEX. The shipping box is a tight one, no room for bubblewrap inside to cushion the actual T-800 box and, possibly as a result, one of the corners of my T-800 box is very slightly crumpled. Doesn't bother me really, not very noticeable. And so far no customs to be paid, unless they send a bill out later but thats never happened to me before. When I've ever been charged customs in the past they asked for it on the spot.
Thank you my friend. It is a joyous day. I hope your wait comes to an end as unexpectedly soon as mine did. I'll be posting pics at some stage, right now I'm too busy marvelling at the awesomeness.

I missed this post A-Dev. Congrats!
The negatives you listed were pretty much expected, no?
Finally got my T-800 today (see how I was specific about what I got?). It was well worth the wait to be able to have him at $140 tax and shipping free.
I didn't think Arnold was Terminator enough in T2, but this figure sure makes him look like one. Love this thing. Best figure ever yet!
In an effort to bring even more Terminator out of him, I gave him a Terminator's weapon of choice, the Plasma Pulse Rifle. And before anybody say, "hey, that's not screen accurate. He never could have had that gun while wearing that outfit," all I have to say is,
T2:3-D baby! Yeah!

On top of the awesomeness of the figure there's the added fact that this is my 1st ever brand new HT figure. I've had a brand new SS figure but it wasn't on this level. I have a 2nd hand HT figure, a Begins batman but as I say it's 2nd hand. So it's kind of a 1st for me. With the amount of posts I have you might think I have a big collection but it's the opposite. Other figures for this price I just admire on here but T2 is my all time favourite film so I had to have him
As I say can't wait!

Thanks Flosi. Yeah those negatives weren't new revelations by any means. I don't think there are any unexpected negatives, least not that I've discovered so far.
Who was that aimed at? 
Well I figured it was fairly obvious considering the thread I was posting in.
Congrats on yours....wow, now that I have mine I feel like congratulating people for getting theirs...before I had nothing but jealousy and ill-feelings

Actually I think it was a jab at Weenie's "I got mine today.
" comment.
