Prime 1/Blitzway - Terminator 2 T-800 endoskeleton 1/3

[EndoSickness]

Both reg and deluxe should have been $200 cheaper.

At such a price, I now expect prime 1 to add pipes on both lower legs and forearms. There that close to perfecting it, might as well get the job done.

Thing is I don't know their payment plans, in Germany the PO is not yet open and estimating 12 months, that's 1800€ / 12 = 150€ each month...essentially a base 1/6 figure, on top of everything, including other POs that might hit.

It's just too much, with running costs of life, the inflation over her?!

Dunno who said it anymore, but feeling you barely paid anything at all?!
Uhm...yeahno.

Fun fact the pipes at the back under the neck is not on the T2 endoskeleton (at least I cannot find it in the movie). It is on the one which was used in T23D.

I'm from the UK and your calculations is spot on with the payment plans. The pre-orders are open now over here.

Going back to the other things you mentioned and highlighted, I completely agree. How much they want monthly is high. And has kinda put me off.

We never really see the back of endo traps area in T2 movie, but it's there in factory scene teaser.

It's also in T1, but it is 4 pipes instead of 2.

I guess only PO if you definitely must and want it. If your not sure, whether it be financial or based on the product, just hold off until you are ready to make decision to PO or not.

Me thinks prime 1 overshot the price, these will take a very long time to sell out. Expect them to use the 'low stock' trick to drive fomo

Good thing that the FOMO-principle doesn't apply to me.
That only applies to completionists.
Since I'm a selectionist, I got my 1/4 endo, it's close enough for me and still a beautiful representation,
I'm pretty much safe and it would just be luxury.

I'll keep an eye out though.

Thank you! I didn't know that. Nice to learn something new of my favorite movie. Regarding the price it was IMO expected. 1500 is way too generous regarding P1. At PCS for now that is more realistic. I think it is safe to assume the BD T-800 and T-1000 will be around the same price as this one.

Edit: Here it is not there Dundee, but maybe it was on some props and not on others. Also I was told the endo in that factory teaser was from T1.

This is the auction of puppet named "Hero" the endoskeleton that stomped on the skulls in the movie. Has pipes on his trap pistons. I think it sold for like 300k!

I got my 1/4 endo

You can sell that too fund this?
You would likely get more of a wow than me when seeing 1/3 from 1/4.

I'm seeing 1/2 to 1/3 lol.

Had this bad boy have forearm cables, I would have skipped the 1/3.

T1 puppet didn't exist by then. It's parts broken up, some sold, some lost, some given to people, some broke over time and were binned.

Stan had to make the puppets again from ground up, hence made some changes to the hands, cpu port and knees. The factory trailer is a T2 puppet, not sure who told you but they are completely wrong.

I don't wanna sell it and this right here makes me cringe. The face looks comically bad!
I didn't even contemplate thinking about this.

To me the face is all kinds of wrong.

Lol it is a very polar statue, some people like it some don't. For me one of the best around and not bad price at 2k

That's what matters: you like it, you win!

I just set everything up and let it count through:

AB-SO-LU-TE-LY not!

 

[Erutainim]

For me I'm very content with the accuracy. The main thing I notice is different is the shape of the eye sockets. On the hero puppet (to the right), the upper part of the socket is curved up, whereas on the P1 endo it's curved down to give a more menacing look. Personally I can live with this, as the menacing look is something I like. If you wanted screen-accuracy, this could turn some people off.

Is this Euro or USD?

The shipping price of $312 is that at prime 1?

Dollar, you see it to the right and yes: all directly at P1.

I prefer menacing, especially this death stare of t-850

Are there retailers where you live? It could be a bit better. I'm still waiting for it to go up at my retailer to see how it compares to prime 1.

 

[EndoSickness]

Near me? No.
Has to be shipped to me. Gotta check if my wholeseller get's it.
