It's nostalgia brah.

Take off those rose tinted gargoyles. T1 is poop.

Interestingly, I never cared much for the first Terminator until I was older. I actually liked T2 a lot more as a youngster. Ah, the foolishness of youth!
 
It has to do with representation of favourite movie license in my collection. I am not a collector that buys many HT throughout the year (maybe 1 to 3). I do really like BD T1 but I do feel that representation of “TERMINATOR” movies has already been filled with Tech Noir, Dx10, DX13, T-1000 and T-600 endo. It’s a tough “collecting” choice but I am deciding (not confirmed) that the BD T1 money can be used on another license I do not have currently displayed (i.e.. Robocop, Ripley and DX15)

It has nothing to do with the movies or which is better because our opinions/experiences will be all different!

And when I was younger I liked Terminator more than T2. But then when I got older, I liked them both equally. But then when I contributed to sideshowcollectors.com, I liked T2 more.
 
Gawd, this debate still rages. It's like the brown/blue Hoth coat, it never ends.

So what happened to this figure? I'd have thought we'd see it at SDCC, or that it would be shipping soon....
 
Well no worries. There's really no "debate" per se, just guys like myself and P. who can look objectively at the situation, and those poor deluded souls who can't do that. :D
 
So wait, is it that the sequel is just a carbon copy of the original and therefore inferior -- like the Hangover example above -- or is it that the sequel has to be completely different?

If the latter, then JAWS 3D is a prime example.

Crystal Skull pretty close.

How about Return to Oz?



What about Horrible Reboots?
 
Robocop 2. Some good stuff but the film overall blows. 3 was also crap but if we're talking immediate successors to a great original....
