T800 was on sale since NOV. T1000 last 3 weeks I believe. If you bought the T800 for $2880, you got the T1000 for $2590 or something like that. THAT is beyond cheap, unheard of for a quality SILICONE bust. Buying from any independant maker of Silicone busts will Run you anywhere from $4000 to $15000, depending on the artist and their skill level and ego unfortunately. A silicone bust for under $3000 is unheard of, unless its cheap silicone crap made using really bad silicone not meant to last(non platinum medical grade) and hair that is a wig or hair that is punched in like 5 hairs at a time and looks terrible. These are cheap and you cant compare a RESIN or even POLYSTONE bust to a silicone. Much more costly to produce and the labour alone on just hair punching can be between 20 to 40 hours alone one hair at a time. So anyone who wanted one, should have got it because you will never find it cheaper than that anywhere from a independant artist and this is the only company out there producing silicone on a production rate. That being said, there run for the T800 was 80 pcs I believe and the T1000 is said to be only 50. That is still high for silicone collectors, but very low for company produced busts. Expensive for resin and polystone bust collectors, VERY cheap for silicone collectors. Just one of my silicone statues cost over 20K, so that should put into perspective the difference in the collector fields. Oh, to buy, you had to be subscribed on facebook to find the link. Now your only hope is to find one on ebay for a $1000 more, which is still a deal. lol
