Customer Service
Cinemaquette

[Collection King 13]

You should invite them over here!

[P1X4R]

cap70 just informed me that this baby is gonna cost 1,200 big ones!!

[Gruson]

yup,

$1200 and dealers are not allowed to sell for under $1195.00

I am thinking about getting it but that is a LOT of money. I have the Sideshow endskeleton on order and hope they release one.

I also ordered the Attakus piece for $300 shipped.

What to do.....

[voodoomagic5]

[P1X4R]

May get, may not. This is one I'll have to think about for a while. But between this and SS, I'll probably go with this one. What's another six bills :banghead:

[Azog]

I think its available for $800 through a few retailers

[P1X4R]

hey azog, you should get rid of that extra slash '/' in your sig.

Yup, Now I just need to tell my wife I'm bringing this "little man" home. This thing looks so real it will scary some people. Heck, it's almost as big as my son! :laugh:

[bane]

The T-850 is the coolest one of the 3 Terminator series ,such a cool item but pretty expensive, I'm thinking about selling my endo-arm to afford this piece (and to make some space available). But don't knwo how much it'll cost in Europe ,probably even more. :mad:

Your body can function with only one kidney, you know.. :D

Do you already have the SS endoarm??

[nexus]

Who? Point me in that direction.

[bane]

Your body can function with only one kidney, you know.. :D

Do you already have the SS endoarm??

Yes I have but it's not the icons one its from CPR but has also the icons logo on it ,I believe the factory went broke and they didn't produce a lot of them.
I have Nr. 7.
The icons version was a bit better but this also is a nice piece.

[cap70]

That's very nice, Bane. And an awesome display, too! :thumbs2:
It's from SS? I tought they weren't shipping already?

[bane]

It's not from SS , a company that didn't last that long made it I believe it was called Crazy Props and Replicas.
They had the license for terminator stuff and some predator alien things.
The display is from IKEA ,I just took on shelve out in the middle.

[P1X4R]

hey cap70, that's the same glass cabinet i have.

Maaaaaaaaaany thanks, my friend! That was exactly what I was looking for! :buttrock:

I need to get a few of these, inexpensive too.

[candyrocket786]

Please share the love.... :buttrock:

[Gruson]

Icons and then Timeless made the Terminator arm and other props. It sucks they went out of business. Their stuff was top notch.

They also made items from Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Star Trek, and Predator.

[thx217]

TRUE.TRUE. Icons's Star Wars X-Wing and TIE-Fighter are still the BEST looking prop replicas out there.

[P1X4R]

sorry, i can't remember which thread i said i was going to post these pics. i guess this is related. here ya go!

[P1X4R]

it lights up!

[P1X4R]

this one lights up too.

[cap70]

VERY cool pictures, P1X!
I see some really nice Attakus in there, Royal Guard, C3, Jabba, Chewie,Vader 2. Didn't know you had all those! Awesome. I'm still looking for a Royal Guard, tough.

[Gruson]

Dammit,

You are REALLY wanting me to start collecting the 1/3 Cinemaquettes now. I wish they were closer to $600 and I would be all over them. At $1000-$1500 each, I will have to pick and choose only the ones I REALLY want.

[thx217]

Just received the mail from Cinemaquette. The T-850 will be on sale on June 24th. around 9:00 AM Pacific Time. Get the money ready boyz!

http://www.cinemaquette.com/cgi-bin/cinemaquette/comingsoon.html?id=HUaSJb2x

[P1X4R]

yup, me too! whoooweeeee!!!!

[Zurbaran1]

I'm going to have to wait and see what they do with the Lord of the Rings. Anybody know what's going on with those?

[candyrocket786]

I'm excited about Indiana Jones :buttrock:

[Gruson]

The official shots looks great and make me want one.

However, these shots do not look as good but he still looks nice. The shotgun looks REALLY cheap IMO:

What to do.....

[Exar Kun]

:buttrock: I can't wait to get mine!! (please, mr Lucas: give the SW license to Cinemaquette :D )

[P1X4R]

gruson, that link doesn't work.

what to do?? get it!!

[Exar Kun]

Just a question: who in this forum ordered the T-850 ?

[P1X4R]

not yet ready to order till friday. i'll be ordering! :)

[Gruson]

p1xfr,

Open a new browser and paste the link in it. That should work.

I want this piece but the cheap shotgun is turning me away from it. It has a brown handle in this picture but black on the official site. I like the black much better.

Regardless, I have decided to order this piece. :)

[RichardW]

I hope that shotgun is a mock-up and not the final painted product. It looks terrible!

[P1X4R]

gruson, ok it works for me now. thx! yeah, i agree black looks better. just one more day!

[Gruson]

P1,

Do you plan on buying the endoskeleton too? I know you have the T-X.

I have the Sideshow endoskeleton on order, $1500 is just too much IMO.

I will probably just order Indiana Jones and Arnold. The rest I hope Sideshow makes into 1/4.

Let's hope that shotgun looks better with the final product!

[P1X4R]

of course! it's THE Terminator piece. i know it's pricey but i have no regrets with my TX. these are awesome statues.

i have the Sideshow endo on pre-order also. i like that one too.

[Gruson]

LOL P1,

I thought I had money to spend on these statues/figures!

You getting the new AT-AT as well? I know you have the first release.

[Exar Kun]

I am going to buy the T-800 too. I think I'll wait for the T-X, or pass it if it is sold out everywhere, but I doubt. In Europe, the Tx-does not seem apreciate. Some retailers still have it and said to me that the had not a lot of purchase proposal for it.

Indi will be definately the must for me :)

[cap70]

Only Arnie for me for now. Spent WAY too much money this month already.

[P1X4R]

i can't wait to order tomorrow! i hope i get #7. :)

[Gruson]

Good luck P1!

I will be refreshing at 11am CST and will order the minute it is up.

I want number 7. :)

[candyrocket786]

Damn I really want one these, but the $1000+ price tag is really out of my range.

Would be nice if they had some type of payment plan.

[Gruson]

One hour to go!

[P1X4R]

:) c'mon #7!! hehe

[Gruson]

Check your PM P1.

[candyrocket786]

Divorce or Cinemaquette??? Damn Decisions.....Decisions.... Decisions.... :banghead:

[P1X4R]

hey gruson, i read your PM but your account will not accept any more PMs. it's full dude!

[Gruson]

Ok, send it now.

[candyrocket786]

it's up for sale now

[P1X4R]

yup, just ordered it! :)

[candyrocket786]

yup, just ordered it! :)


Do they charge your card immediately or when it ships ?

[Gruson]

crap,

I dont see where to order it, HELP!!!!!

[P1X4R]

login first dude!

then go to this link.

[candyrocket786]

Front page. The t-850 ad replaces the TX

[Gruson]

Dammit.

I was refreshing the other page instead....there goes my low number....

[candyrocket786]

Can someone answer my Credit Card question? :inquisiti

[cap70]

Got mine also! :buttrock:

[Gruson]

Awesome!

Cap, check your PM about the AT-AT.

[Gruson]

What are your order numbers for the T-850?

I am 5007.

[P1X4R]

i got Order number 5006.

but i don't think that really tells you the edition number you're getting. my TX had Order number 5001 and it was #7. i guess i was the first one to order on that day. i was a bit late today. i'm at work and was on the phone helping out a co-worker and then i noticed the time. "oops, gotta go.. call ya back bro!" :)

[Gruson]

They probably are in order but of course they save the first 5 or so pieces for "special" people. :)

[P1X4R]

cap, what's your order number?

[P1X4R]

Can someone answer my Credit Card question? :inquisiti

they charge when it ships.

[candyrocket786]

they charge when it ships.

So maybe there is hope for me.

I submitted my request to management (aka Mrs.). Hopefully, it will be approved. :laugh:

[cap70]

cap, what's your order number?

5008
I don't care too much about low numbers, as long as I get a perfect statue I'm fine. ;)
Now need to go back to work to help paying for this thing!! Cyall later! :buttrock:

[Gruson]

your number candy?

I guess they have only sold to us 4 so far. :)

Someone order later today to see where we are. Come on, it's only a grand and some change. :)

[P1X4R]

i'm not too much into numbers either but it's fun talking about this one today. :)

yup, it's back to work.. oh, did i say i was gonna call my co-worker back?? :laugh:

[Gruson]

Same here, I do not care for numbers either. Quality is #1 for me.

My Arnold better not have thinning hair!!!! :)

[candyrocket786]

your number candy?

I guess they have only sold to us 4 so far. :)

Haven't ordered yet. Waiting for the Mrs. to approve my request.

[thx217]

i can't wait to order tomorrow! i hope i get #7. :)

Great #! The one I got is #11.

For everyone who's ordering Cine. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH CINEMAQUETTE! :buttrock:

Too bad I have to pass this one for MR AT-AT 2 and the next release(T-800 Endo.)

Sure wanna see loads of pics when you guys received it! :buttrock:

[nexus]

Gonna have to take a chill pill on this one. Have pre-ordered too much stuff lately. I looked at last month's MC bill and it was like $2Kfor statues and busts (what I ordered I can't even remember), and another $2K in electronics. So the wife is like :stick:

and of course there's a bunch of other stuff on pre-order. Maybe I'll buy a helmet.

[BobaFett02]

I have to say guys this is one amazing piece... this is the holy grail of terminator pieces....


now.. how big is this mutha!! and whats the cost of it UK £££? any ideas?

[Gruson]

Arnold is 24" without the base. Cost is $1200 US.

I agree, it's the grail for sure.

[Gruson]

I just noticed this:

"each T-850 is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger."

Nice bonus for sure. :)

[cap70]

that's nice Gruson. For this price, they better ask Arnold to delivery it to me personlly! :laugh:

Can't wait for this "little man" to arrive! :buttrock:

[cap70]

I'm wondering when it will ship, tough. What are you estimated delivery date?

[Exar Kun]

the delivery time still can be long. Remember: they do only 50 T-850 per month. Most of retailers says that delivery time may vary from 2-4 weeks to 20 months. I depends on how they proceed the orders they got.

[cap70]

If I remember well, they said that the first batch of T-850's were ready to go out, so 2-4 weeks to 20 months doesn't make too much sense to me(unless you didn't catch the first batch), principally when I was one of the very first that ordered it. I'm assuming that this first batch have what, 50 statues?
I hope I get mine soon, even tough I probably wouldn't mind waiting another 2 to 3 days. :D

[P1X4R]

delivery by arnold! :laugh: i'd pay double for that!

yes, it may be true and that's why I said that it depends on how they proceed their orders. There are also orders from retailers and for them it is aggreed before.

Anyway, let's wait and see. I have pre ordered mine from a retailer 6 months ago now and with the Sauron statue from Sideshow I have pre ordered , I definitely learned patience :) . My guess is that first place to be delivered will be the US.

[RichardW]

Is the TX sold out? Their site is not exactly user-friendly.

[P1X4R]

go here http://www.cinemaquette.com/cgi-bin/cinemaquette/landing.html

[RichardW]

Boy, you think they'd want that out in the open.

I'd sure like to get into this line, but it'd have to be this and nothing else because of their price. They've got some of the best licenses available (Indy, Alien, Predator, Terminator, LotR).

[cap70]

Their site is not exactly user-friendly.

Not even close!
:laugh:

[RichardW]

It's no wonder I didn't get the email announcement for the T-850. :rolleyes2

If they get Star Wars, that's gonna be scary.

Not to mention, Marvel and/or DC.

[Gruson]

I plan on buying pretty much all of them except Jack Sparrow.

That is not a classic when all of the others are IMO. I like these even better than the Sideshow 1/4 series. That would be great if they did get Star Wars!

[Gianco]

If they get Star Wars I'm going to suffer! Maybe my wife would divorce! :stick:

[RichardW]

What's the ETA on this bad boy? I'd like to order one, but my CC's not ready yet. To those who've ordered, does it say on your order status when yours is due to ship?

[P1X4R]

If they get Star Wars I'm going to suffer! Maybe my wife would divorce! :stick:

nah, you'll be fine just make sure you don't ever do this.

Man, this is hilarious, can't stop laughing, tears are all over the keyboard, damn! Thanks, I'm two years younger now! :laugh: :thumbs2:

[Gruson]

Arnold ships in 3 weeks or so.

[Gianco]

Damn, still laughing, can't stop!

[RichardW]

Arnold ships in 3 weeks or so.

Gruson, thanks for the info on this board and the SS Freaks board. :) It's good to see some crossover posters.

[cap70]

Estimated Date of Delivery: 1 month. That's what says on my invoice.
Hope I get it sooner, tough.

[TURINS~BANE]

I wish they would hurry up with the Indiana Jones Cinemaquette. :banghead: :confused2

[Gruson]

Welcome Turnis. :)

[RichardW]

I hope they showcase some new pieces at SDCC so I can figure out if I want to devote my life to Cinemaquette.

[Exar Kun]

:) me too!. Howether, I already decided to stick with that brand. (also with Saint Seiya Cloth myth)

[Gruson]

Some information on the T-850 and future releases:

Thank you for placing an order for our T-850 Cinemaquette. The shotgun will be black with a simulated wood handle. We can also confirm that the shotgun looks very realistic. We all think you will be thoroughly satisfied with the detail.

As far as your Star Wars inquiry, we cannot confirm or release any information regarding future licenses.

Pictures of new Cinemaquettes? You will see pictures of upcoming Cinemaquettes within the summer. If you have any more inquiries please contact us anytime. Thank you for your support.

At least new pictures are right around the corner!

[Exar Kun]

Sweeeeeeet, bring them on!
:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:


yep! We are all waiting for it !!!!

[Gruson]

I am curious to which ones will be cinemaquette.com exclusives. ;)

[RichardW]

I wish these guys would do some type of installment plans. They might sell some more by offering something like that. :(

[BobaFett02]

Ive just had a email back saying that i cannot get it direct from them, but from a Uk distributer :(

Ones sold out other dont respond to my emails / calls! great business! :banghead:

[P1X4R]

looks like Forbidden Planet and Gear 4 Games are their UK distributors.

[RichardW]

No shipping notices yet?

[Gruson]

Nothing here yet.

I was thinking, it would be great if they really used Arnold's hair for this piece. :)

[cap70]

I was thinking, it would be great if they really used Arnold's hair for this piece. :)

Yes, and for 1000 units, how long would Arnie real hair need to be?
Probably the same size of his Conan days! lol

[cap70]

No shipping notices yet?

Mine still says "one month".
That's the longest month I ever heard about! hehehe

[P1X4R]

mine just arrived. i'll take pics when i get home..





just kidding. yup, still waiting here also.. :)

[Exar Kun]

In Europe, it is said that we will be delivered this month... Can't wait getting it!

Just a question: the head is in resin with silicon skin. I wonder about exposure to the light. But, I remember that there was a notice sheet to take care of the cinemaquette right?

[cap70]

And remember..if you see a bald Arnie on the streets, you know the cause! :laugh:

[DetroitSportsFan]

Hey guys,
First of all, I'm new to this board. :)

I just ordered the T-850 today. I guess they haven't sold many, because my order number is #5011. It says I'm "ok" for the first shipment as well. :buttrock:

[Gruson]

WOW...they are barely selling any at all.

I really want to see how Arnold looks in person because I am worried now from some of the most recent pictures from SDCC. I am sure they will give a full refund because for $1200, he better be PERFECT.

[P1X4R]

only 6 have sold since my order from june 25. talk about being in a l33t group. :D i'm wondering why it's taking so long to process. it only took a week last time.

btw, welcome DetroitSportsFan!

[DetroitSportsFan]

i'm wondering why it's taking so long to process. it only took a week last time.
I hope they're not waiting to sell their first 50 pieces before they ship any! :laugh:

I'm wondering what's the hold up as well. You other guys ordered almost a month ago and you haven't got yours yet. It looks like these just aren't selling. Does anyone know how many pieces of the TX have been sold so far?
Something tells be the edition sizes will be lowered, maybe down to 500 or less if this sales pace continues. Or maybe they will lower their prices. Yeah right. :laugh:

[P1X4R]

just got this today after sending an email to their customer service yesterday..



Thank you for your order. Your T-850 is currently undergoing our final
inspection and should ship out this week. You can expect an email confirming
your shipment as usual. Thank you for your order!

Best Regards,

Customer Service
Cinemaquette

[DetroitSportsFan]

Thanks for the update.

I'm considering ordering the TX as well. P1X4R, I saw that you have it. Is it worth the $$$$?

[Gruson]

Good news,

Maybe we will have ours by next week.

[P1X4R]

Thanks for the update.

I'm considering ordering the TX as well. P1X4R, I saw that you have it. Is it worth the $$$$?

hey DSF, it's a great art piece done by the masters at Stan Winston Studios. very authentic to the film. i definitely think it's worth the money. you won't be disappointed. the weight on this piece is incredibly solid! i love the bright blue, glowing lights on it that gives it a "live" aura. :buttrock:

[leks]

Hmm weird that they're selling so few.

I will wait for your comments before I make up my mind ;)

[cap70]

He better be perfect. For $1200, I won't accept anyhting less than puuurfection!

[P1X4R]

He better be perfect. For $1200, I won't accept anyhting less than puuurfection!

if it looks back at me in an Aragorn-like SDCC fashion he is back in the box and out the door! :laugh:

[Gruson]

I agree guys,

I will contact Cinemaquette the minute I open him if he does not look 100% perfect.

[DetroitSportsFan]

I wasn't aware that you could return these if you don't like them. Good to hear. :thumbs2:
For how long they have been working on these and the cost, I think the few of us that will be getting one will be happy.
I still can't believe how slow these are selling.

[DetroitSportsFan]

Well, I took P1X4R's advice and ordered the TX.
Here's the interesting part: Order #5012. The order that I placed a few days ago for the T-850 was #5011. I think these are combined orders for both the TX and T-850. If that's the case, they have sold 12 TXs and T-850s so far. :inquisiti

[P1X4R]

here are my order numbers from them

TX: 5001
T-850: 5006

let me know what you think of the TX when you get it. :)

[Gruson]

These are not selling well at all....Cinemaquette really needs to change their web site and start promoting their products.

It's going to really suck if they end up cancelling this line because of poor sales....

[candyrocket786]

They need to:

- Reduce their Prices
- Offer a Payment Plan
- Make website more "user-friendly"
- Promote themselves via the discussion boards (ie. insider pics, vids, etc)

[P1X4R]

i agree. it would be a pity if they ended up cancelling this series. the quality is absolutely superb!

i'm excited that companies like Sideshow are also producing high end quality statues. the SS Predator is a perfect example of this. it's a small market niche but there's always room for healthy competition..

as candyrocket786 already mentioned.. offering payment plans like Sideshow's flex option would definitely attract more buyers. there aren't too many buyers out there who are willing to shell out $1K+ every three months.

[cap70]

11 Arnie's sold??
That's no good....

Thinking seriously about canceling my order

[DetroitSportsFan]

11 Arnie's sold??
That's no good....

No, 12 TXs and Arnies sold COMBINED.
:inquisiti

[cap70]

No, 12 TXs and Arnies sold COMBINED.
:inquisiti

That's REALLY bad.

[candyrocket786]

No, 12 TXs and Arnies sold COMBINED.
:inquisiti

Ouch! That is very bad.

I do wonder about the design of their business model, marketing campaign and overall management of the company.

If these things are suppose have an edition size 1000... then CMaq should be trying to produce/sell around 10x as much per month (or more) in order to keep the momentum following.

Personally,I think they need to scrap the LOTR license and focus on past movie icons.

... and I really think they screwed up by producing the TX first. They should have started with Indiana Jones and focused their marketing around that figure. The character is simply an ICON: Everyone knows who Indiana Jones is and the majority of women love Harrison Ford

[DetroitSportsFan]

If these things are suppose have an edition size 1000
I think they really meant that they were shooting for a maximum of 1000. I think their weird way of taking orders turns people off.
"We're going to make 50 pieces per month for 20 months, and when you order we'll let you know if you're eligible for this shipment, or you'll be put on a waiting list".
The dealers that are taking preorders for these won't give a date of arrival, saying "Anywhere between now and October 2006".
And now, after the product is "available", people who ordered the T-850 one month ago are still waiting.
At this rate, I'd be surprised if this line makes it past the T-800 Endo.

That's why they need to revamp the process (as laborious as it may be) and start churning more of them out per month.

If they had the payment plan in place, then I could see how the arrival between "now and October 2006" is somewhat feasible. It would give the average income earners enough time to pay off the statue.

[P1X4R]

patience my friend. you don't want them looking like Aragorn, do ya? :)

[Gianco]

Hey P1, we'll be waiting for pics! :)

[Gruson]

That was Aragorn!??!

I thought it was supposed to be one of those Geico cavemen....

;)

[P1X4R]

ack! right, right! wannabe Aragorn. ;)

[C1eaN]

Like I said....looks like a young Randy "Macho Man" Savage....

[Gruson]

Ahhh yes, Miss Elizabeth.

Did you know she died in 2003??!? I just saw that...

wow, i didn't know that.

[DetroitSportsFan]

Maybe next week for Arnold, huh? :banghead:

Hell, they haven't even shipped the TX I ordered over a week ago. :mad:

[P1X4R]

yup, i didn't get charged yet like they said they were going to. ah well. soon enough i'm sure..

[RichardW]

They really need to get their act together if they're going to survive. Like it's been said before, better marketing, a payment plan, maybe even slightly lower prices. It'd also be nice if when they started taking orders, they already had some ready to go. Look how MR handled the Luke ANH Elite Saber.

[DetroitSportsFan]

They really need to get their act together if they're going to survive.
I believe the line probably will die after the T-800 Endoskeleton.

[RichardW]

Their Alien looks great. Would love to see how Predator turns out, but at the rate they're going, who knows if it'll really happen.

At least Sideshow's Terminator and Predator look great.

[Gruson]

FYI,

They are charging now for ARNOLD!!!!

My damn credit card company, yet again, put my account on hold until I verified the $1235 charge. Now I have to tell Cinemaquette to run it again and will receive it later than everyone else..... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:


Anyway, he should ship this week!

You know what's strange, last email, I asked Cinemaquette that If I didn't like it, I could return it and get a refund. I said to them that if it wasn't possible, then they could cancel my order. I didn't hear back from them about it.

[Gruson]

Dammit....still cannot believe my credit card declined the charge on my behalf....mine would have shipped!!!

Guess I have to wait a couple of days now and will not get a low number because they have sold so many.... :) haha

I am going to avoid the pictures because I want to see it in person for the first time.

Post a spoiler if you do post pics!!!

from their site's FAQ:

Q: What if my order gets lost or destroyed on its way to me?
A: Satisfaction is guaranteed; if there are any problems with either your order or delivery, simply notify us and we’ll make it right.

Looks like mine's arriving on Wed. shipping weight of 40lbs!

Sorry to spook you, P1X, but we are talking about a $1200 statue here that had many protos. Truth is, we still don't know which version will be the final one until we open the box.

Does this policy cover if you don't like the statue you can get a full refund? I dunno, man. That's why I asked them and I didn't hear back. Neither got any shipping email today.
With SS(and many other companys), they will give a full refund(less shipping) in case you are not completly satisfied with their product. We are speaking about a $1200 statue here. I will not take any risks. If I don't get my shipping email today, then something isn't right.

[P1X4R]

i completely understand you cap. it definitely is a sizable amount of money to spend on a collectible. it's too bad they did not respond to your inquiry. how long ago did you send your email? i usually get a response within 24 hours. let us know when you hear from them. we all would like to know their stance on this.

Yes, this is something that should be clearly explained in their site. Why they didn't put a FAQ with a "What if I'm not satisfied with my purchase" question?
I sent them this email last week. Didn't hear back. My order still with the pending and OK status tough. Very strange.

[Gruson]

Trust me, they WILL take it back if I am not happy with it.

They may say no via email but I will then have to pay them a "personal visit" like Arnold did the police station in T1.

FINALLY! We're all looking forward to check out the your pics P1!!!!! :eplus2:

[DetroitSportsFan]

No shipping email for me yet. :banghead:

[Exar Kun]

good newsfor me too: a first shipment is going to Europe. I will get mine soon too.

I am really looking forward to see this piece!

[cap70]

Still no email, nothing, nada.

[Gruson]

Nothing here yet...I have emailed them twice, telling them to charge me for it again....

[P1X4R]

try calling them.

Q: What is your toll free number so I can talk to a human?
A: Our toll-free customer service hotline is 1-866-869-8606. Simply leave your name, phone number, e-mail address and specific question or problem with your order, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

[Gruson]

I spoke to Scott and he told me my order should ship today. He believes it is around #30 or so but could not confirm. There was a delay with our orders because of a "hair" issue they had to correct.

He said the piece looks perfect now.

He also said that sales have been very good...the 1/3 T-800 endo should be available in September.

[cap70]

Good news. Did you ask about the refund in case you didn't like it?

[Gruson]

Forgot to ask about the refund...you should call him up.

[cap70]

Forgot to ask about the refund...you should call him up.

Can't believe you forgot to ask this! lol
If they only answered my email...
I may call him later to see what's going on

[Gruson]

As for returns,

He said that "satisfaction is guaranteed." If there are any problems they will correct it. I asked about the refund and he said he would look into it because everyone has been happy with their pieces so far (which is only T-X).

I guess we will find it very soon how Arnold looks in person!

[Gruson]

FYI,

I finally got my shipping notice!!! Hell yeah!

[P1X4R]

[P1X4R]
