The one on the right missing a stud, bloody exact same spot mine came off.
 
Oh damn, that's a pleasant surprise. It looks like my order from CSC has shipped. I guess being impatient paid off. :lol
 
It sure would be considerate of my T1s to arrive tomorrow on my day off. Not totally out of the question but alas I know it won't work out so conveniently. It'll be thursday when I'm first in work and then have my bowling night or I'll have to get through another work day before finally getting to enjoy them on Friday. When you know they're literally on the way to you the wait gets harder.
 
I received my shipping number and it's already been shipped out. Not bad at all!

This really surprised me, I expected it to be a few more weeks. I'm actually really glad that I canceled with sideshow not only will I receive it sooner, it was 20 dollars less a figure, give or take.

With sideshow it would have been about $400 dollars for the two I preordered whereas with CSC it's $368.

I'm excited, I've been waiting for a 1984 Tech Noir T-800 for years. This will definitely deliver.
 
I think you were right to hate it and that your thinking now is just one coloured by a nostalgia of sorts. School was day in and day out, like a full time job with no reward that you could appreciate, and it seemed never ending. It was really like having a terrible job and it began not long after birth and it continued through a huge part of your life - on either side all you could see was school behind you and school ahead of, that seemed like my entire life at the time, I hated it. Every class was like one week of work dragged out for a year, just a little tiny bit at a time. It was horrible, you must try to remember!

I look back on it and I don't understand why I found the work so much of it a bother, in hindsight it seems like it would've taken very little to become the best in the class, but still I can remember very well just why I hated it so much, all those classes, I really am very thankful to have moved on from that, to not have to read from those exercise books, sit in those classes and take notes from the board, sit while the teacher slowly reads in monotone from a book for one hour, no more of that, life is good now... I feel like a prisoner, who has done his time and is now laying on a beach drinking from a coconut with a little umbrella in it.

This surprisingly makes me feel better. I can only hope that coconut-drinking feeling will come soon enough. Right now, it's just like you said. School behind and school ahead. Only thing that gets me through the year is knowing it's peppered with Hot Toys here and there :).
 
Think I'll go to bed to bring forth the morning. Hopefully I won't be too bitterly disappointed when I don't see any box for me tomorrow. You all know that feeling...'just another ordinary day, work and no play'
