1/4 T2 Endoskeleton

[Gazmog]

This piece for me kicks some serious butt, but I want to gauge the thoughts of you die-hard 1/4 scale devotees. I have yet to place my order, most likely through one of the dealers here, but what do you think of it?

:wave

[dstephan]

I haven't been able to justify the price, but it does kick major butt. I know I'll give in eventually...

The light-up effect also is a great plus for it.

[TURINS BANE]

I say if you have the money go for it. I have, i'ts awesome.8)

Well, you can spend $549 and get Sideshow's 1/4th scale T-800:

Or you can spend $1500 and get Cinemaquette's 1/3rd scale T-800:

I know there's quite a bit of difference in price, but the Cinemaquette will be bigger and more detailed. I think for the price, the Sideshow piece is very nice!

[TURINS BANE]

$1500, I think I'll stick with the SS one, better value for money to me.

The only Cinemaquette, I can see getting is the Indiana Jones one.

[RichardW]

Yeah, they're definitely priced higher than they should be. I haven't broken down and bought one yet, but the Arnold statue is pretty sweet. Indy will be a must-have if Sideshow doesn't get the license. Here's another comparison of the T-800.

I am fast reaching the point of placing an order for the cheaper of the 2. :p

[Gruson]

I have the Sideshow version on order and cannot wait for it!

I may end up getting the Cinemaquette piece as well.

1/3 scale would be great.

FYI, Sideshow will also be releasing a 1:1 scale version!

Who knows what it will cost....

[RichardW]

I may end up getting the Cinemaquette Arnold and the Sideshow T-800. I just don't know if I want different scales with these pieces. I love the details and addition of dirt or rust effects on the Cinemaquette version.

Gruson, I heard the Sideshow 1:1 may be in the $5000 range. :skull

[Gazmog]

I hope they consider making a T-1000...in some shape or form. :p :\

[Bonehead15]

I have several PE figures but I agree with Dave. I just don't think it's worth that much money. I concider myself to be a huge Terminator fan but I still can't see paying over $400 for any PE figure. For $500 I could buy 2 Universal Monsters PE figures that I would enjoy 10 X more.


:skull

[SwoopingCloakofSureness]

I would personally like to see SS do an Arnold. A T2 Arnold please.

[RichardW]

I hope they do, too, but it's going to be hard to beat this bad boy.

[SwoopingCloakofSureness]

Yeah..i don't think SS will be able to top that, but then they shouldn't have to. Their arnold won't cost $1,000 plus. I don't know, for some reason I think the SS pose will be better, though that's not saying anything about the cinemaquette pose.

[Gruson]

No chance the SS version of Arnold will be better. :)

I will most likely end up getting all the Terminator Cinemaquette pieces so my Terminator collection will be in scale.

I really hope they make a T-1000. For now, I will keep my SS order as well.

[TheWitchKing]

The Cinamaquette wins but for $1500 as many say, in Nemo's words, " the SS one will do just fine." :lol I plan to branch out and get into more lines, with a price for one Cinamaquette despite its quality, I can't pull that off and Im sure that is where it gets many from buying it. Here's to dreaming for me...:toast

[Lynxje]

I've got the 1/4 on order but it will most likely go in favor of the Cinemaquette if I can find it locally and compare it, I'm only gonna buy 1 Terminator and it has to be amazing.

[Gruson]

Yup lyn,

Once I have both in hand, I will sell the one I like least.

I plan on selling my Attakus Arnold once the Cinemaquette arrives.

[RichardW]

I've already cancelled the SS version. I'm fairly confident I want the Cinemaquette Arnold and I want these to be in scale with one another. Plus I can apply the $550 from not buying the SS version to the Cinemaquette version.

[TURINS BANE]

The Cinemaquette version looks ace, but for $1500.:x I'm sticking with the SS one. I can't justify spending that much, except with the Indiana Jones one, I will get that, for the love of the films and the character.

[elwood49]

The Cinemaquette T-800 absolutely annihilates the SS version, but it's just SO expensive. The T-800 is actually my favorite Cinemaquette piece, with the T-850 a very close second. I want both of these badly, but I'll most likely get the 1/4 SS version of the T-800.

I also think the SS version will be in the $400 range on Ebay once they start shipping. 2500 is quite a large ES for a $549 piece. If it was SW or LOTR than maybe, but I don't see the T-800 selling quickly at all. Please release a 1/4 T2 Arnold Sideshow!

[RichardW]

It's usually a good sign that you might be able to pick something up cheaper on eBay when it's still not sold out through SS.

[TURINS BANE]

also think the SS version will be in the $400 range on Ebay once they start shipping. 2500 is quite a large ES for a $549 piece.

Yeah, It will be cheaper on ebay. I'm thinking of going there
when they start to ship.

[Fritz]

I'm really trying to justify to myself to get the Sideshow T2. I think it's an awesome piece but $549, I just don't know. I think I'll set a personal cap for myself of $400 shipped. If I can't find one on eBay or somewhere else for that or less, I just won't get it. The Cinemaquette stuff is awesome. Ain't no way I would spend that much though.

[TURINS BANE]

I'll probabley get mine of ebay, 2500 is a lot for these. It will be a lot cheaper.

[WetaWork]

My thoughts as well unless 2,500 never get produced. From what I understand it wouldn't be the 1st time the full amount of an announced ES didn't get produced.
