Karim, thanks for all the HD videos. The gun strap on my T-850 still has the folds in it from when it was packaged, whereas all the folds on yours seem to have gone. Did they just fall out, or did you do something to even out the strap?
Wel I bought my T850 on ebay (second hand) and it was like that out of the box , I didn't do anything special with it .

I had thought a fair price to be around 2k but the problem with these older Cinemaquettes is that they are getting so rare that it is almost impossible to really assign value anymore. If only 1 T-800 has sold in past year for 3000 plus then what is the going rate? Are we going to base it on a sample size of 1? Maybe my estimate is hopelessly outdated. I will say that I personally wouldn't pay more than 2k for one and that's only if I BADLY wanted one. I got mine for the MSRP of 1k at the time. I will say that it is the best representation of Arnold in full figure form anywhere. People who don't own one don't really understand the impact of the silicone skin and punched hair. Yes, it's better in person than Hot Toys, better than the newest Enterbay, better than every polystone resin statue put out by Sideshow. Aside from the 1:1 silicone bust by Howard, this is the definitive Arnold likeness in my opinion. Is it worth what is being asked now? I still say no but bear in mind that the Predator Cinemaquette retailed for 2k as is Vader currently and I can't see myself paying 1k more than that for the T-850 . . .
I apologize. My previous post about pricing was referring to the T-800. I do not know the current T-850 pricing and I do not own it.
I just saw the arnie go for a little over 1500 on eBay about three weeks ago. Still a very fair price IMO. Looked like it was in good condition. This is one that doesn't seem to go for too much over retail.
3100 seems expensive for arnie , but you know it seems harder and harder to find , but I too think if one can wait , one will eventually find a less expensive one
Good thing I didnt buy it. I asked him to lower it but he insisted on ebay prices...well dang..ebay is evil shop anyome can put the value as high as they want to be
Just received mine T-850 #107 last week! My Arnie is absolutely likeness IMO, the sclupt looks very cool.
