Welp, if you've been on the fence about buying one of these now may be the time to get off and grab one. I just picked one up from www.war-toys.com for $54.95 USD. That is a fraction of the original price. I've been seeing them fairly cheap on eBay, under $100. USD but none for a price like this. If you want one go now. I wouldn't wait.
 
Wow great deal, I've been looking around War-Toys the past couple of days looking at different head sculpts but never knew they had this figure.
I'm going to think about buying one, I really need to start saving money!
Also, the part on the Toyfair page about a new Terminator product has me thinking they might finally release some 1/6 T2 figures, so I'm hesitant.
Thanks for the heads up!
If you're looking for a great deal on the Terminatrix Popsalute figure, go over to:

SM, thanks for the Echo Base alert. I just ordered the girl now to go with Arnie. I couldn't find these for any price a while back and gave up looking. Greta timing for a change.
 
Just recieved the T-850 and the T-X today, and I must say that they are really nice. Although I wish the T-X had some paint apps done to her body, overall I'm happy I picked these up. Under a $100 bucks shipped for both isn't a bad deal at all.

I didn't wait long before I placed my order for the T-3 Terminator. I got him today and I'm a bit disappointed.
First the batteries for the second light up head were corroded. Nothing was ruined (they were packaged separately) but they were junk. So I don't know if the light on the other head works or not. Second the base body is ****. Nothing but loose joints, badly designed articulation, and off proportions. Combine that with a very thick bulky jacket and trousers and you have a complete mess. Third, the hands look good, but the wrist construction comes apart easily. You can't move them all that much without them falling apart.
The costume is nice, a little too bulky to properly fit the figure but it looks film accurate.
I like the head used here but the neck articulation is junk. It looks just like Arnold even though the casting is a little rough, if the paint apps were applied a little thicker the rough casting wouldn't be as noticeable. The guns are nicely detailed although a bit too large, but I still prefer Dragon's G-36 and Browning 30 cal.
The casket is all right, I think it looks a little small, but the one in the film may have been slightly smaller then it should have been to allow Arnold to shoulder it.
I'll try and find a spare body for my T-3 Arnold. The neck post looks like a standard Dragon type neck post so I may have to shop around for a Dragon body.
IMO. I'm glad I didn't pay anymore then $65 on this one. When he first came out, I had thought about buying one, now that I've see him in person, he's barely worth $50.
He does however come in a very nice looking package.
 
I would have to agree with what screamingmetal had to say. The sculpt is nice, but not worth anything over $65 in my opinion. The T-X was just the right price at about $40. But again, the paint apps on the body isn't great, but for $40 I'm not complaining. So all in all, if you had a chance to pick these up, it was a good move. I'm still hoping to grab the T-800 and Kyle Reese from Hot Toys, sometime in the near future. I'll throw up some photo's later.

True the body sucks, but a simple dragon swap will take care of that. The outfit is nice as are the accessories and sculpts.
