Terminator 2 (Six-Disc Limited Edition + Endoskull Bust) [Blu-ray]

So I picked this up today 5/20/09. I refuse to open it as a collector. I wont review the movie because chances are if you are buying this version its not for the movie.This item is a 1:1 scale plastic replica so its about the size of my head! Its huge, the biggest DVD case Ive ever bought. The base has a tray that slides out to store the 5 DVDs and 1 Blu Ray disk. If you don't like that idea you can keep the DVDs in an included keepsake case. The Replica skull plays sound bites of guns and action scenes from the movie while the eyes light up. For a DVD CASE there is a great deal of detail that went into this. But keep in mind its just that a DVD case. Its not a side show replica that will cost you hundreds of dollars. It's simply a unique limited edition plastic replica DVD case painted chrome.I bought mine at best buy and canceled my order on amazon. Yeah it cost me more money but the outer box is mostly clear plastic. This stands a good chance of being damaged in shipping. If you are a collector I suggest shelling out a few extra bucks and pick it up locally in person vs having it shipped if that option is available to you.Assuming you buy yours at Best Buy, and you are NOT a collector and actually plans on opening it- You may find "BEST BUY EXCLUSIVE" sticker on the front advertising a $50 Sideshow collectible gift card inside. I assume from reading the sticker this is only available at BEST BUY. So if there is no sticker assume there is no Gift Card inside.Now on to the Disks and features. You get the New SkyNet Edition Blu ray disk, a digital copy, and all 4 special feature DVDs from both previous editions (Extreme and Ultimate editions) making this a 1 stop shop ultimate collection for any T2 fan who doesn't own any of the other versions. Or an expensive double dip if you do own any of the previous versions.Over 8 hrs of interactive extras and 6.1 DTS-HD audio and the D Box option.If you are unaware of what DBOX is, its an add on device that you connect to your audio system and the other end under your seat. This device then turns sound into vibration so you feel like you are in the movie. (I just turn my subs up ;))Also includes a THX optimizerBD LIVEGames, TriviaAudio CommentariesIf you dont care about the endoskull and own previous editions of the movie you might wanna just get the new Skynet Edition of the movie which is available separately.

This was awesome. I have wanted a bust of the terminator endo skull forever and this one was within my price range. I'm planning on making a life size statue of the T-800 myself but lacked the materials needed to sculpt my own skull. the rest I can make but this will help allot. I did end up modifying it after i received it. I took the extra black paint off of the temporal gears. The details are there they just went overboard with the black paint. I also didn't like the look of the red eyes they seemed to simple so I went and snagged some red lamps from Radio Shack and put them in because they are more screen accurate. Next I plan on repainting the teeth. I got it knowing I would be changing some things but even without my changes its an awesome bust. The movies also make a great add on to my collection. Now if amazon would just carry the T-600 bust with blue rays of the terminator salvation movie I can only find that on ebay and well...I don't like ebay.

got it thinking it was made of good material but to my surprise it is plastic n not a very impressive piece ... plus got it at a very high price ... had to buy an other original sideshow thing just to get out of the shock ... should not be worth more than 100 $ ... people selling it for are just ripping you off ... i too got ripped ... there should be more detail in the description section ... n more pics to show what this really is

This review is for the Collectors set with skull. The skull is very solid, well made and will look great on your shelf. It comes with batteries and there's also a on/off switch underneath the base. The eyes light up and it plays sound effects from the movie. The sound is terrible though, it just sounds like static noise. The discs come in a separate case and you can also store them in the base of the skull. The blue-ray disc is a pain and wouldn't register my internet connection and takes forever to load. DTS and 5.1 sound wouldn't work on blue-ray for some reason. The sound on the DVD versions worked great so it must be a blue-ray defect. I'm pleased with the set except for the sound problems. If you're a fan this might be worth picking up but it's far from perfect.

I just got the T2 Endoskull set and, let me tell you, it's amazing. It looks exactly like you'd expect a Terminator to look. When you press the button on the side, after flicking the on switch on the bottom, the eyes light up red and it plays certain sound clips from the movie. I read some reviews that said the skull was flimsy. I don't know about that. Sure, it's not as sturdy as it would be if it were made from metal, but it's not paper-level flimsy. I wouldn't play with it or anything, but it will certainly hold up to simple holding and looking at. The only bad thing about the set is the incredibly dumb move of having all 6 discs stacked on top of each other. Doesn't everyone know that dvds can get scratched up pretty good. The set does come with a regular dvd case that you can put the discs in, but that too is a stack case. I'd suggest tracking down a 6 disc regular case, sort of like the case of the Real Ghostbusters complete set or the A-Team set and using that instead.

I paid good money for this and it came broken, The eyes are supposed to light up and it was supposed to play Terminator "music" well it does not do anything it came with batteries already installed so the seller knew that it was defective, I will never buy from this "seller" again, I would like to get a refund or some money back for this defective item I paid good money for.

First off i'd like to share my unfortunate problem. I bought this and it had to ship all the way to Belgium. My PS3 does not have the region code for the Skynet version of the Blu-ray that comes with this edition. So i was a bit disappointed about that.Nevertheless i was able to view the extreme version and all the extras on the ultimate edition discs.Im glad i have this, ill just have to buy the SkyNet edition of blu-ray again somewhere in my region to see the blu-ray.

Who wouldn't love a Terminator skull in their basement?
