SOTD Terminator 2 Judgment Day Candy + Collectible Figures

NCS Sale of the Day Offering: July 20, 2010
Original NCS Product Synopsis & Release Date in Japan: June 30, 2003
«©NCSX» With Terminator 3 hitting screens this summer, toy manufacturer Face revisits Terminator 2 with a candy toy set. Eight standard toys are packaged in each factory-sealed box (view the photo below, to the left) and there's also a super-secret figure (Terminator 2 endo-skeleton arm) which is randomly packaged inside a Master Case as a bonus. Please note that NCS only sells the Terminator 2 Candy Toys in a complete factory box of 10 which contains the entire set of 8 figures and two duplicates. If you're lucky, you'll receive the 8 figures, 1 duplicate, and 1 T2 endo-skeleton arm.

NCS' Terminator 2 Experience
Back in 2003, we opened up six complete boxes of the Terminator 2 toys to slake our curiosity on how the toys were allocated. Back then, toy manufacturers weren't as fair and equitable as they are today. The T2 toy manufacturer "Face" wasn't equitable. To make people buy boxes of toys in a tiresome quest to find a complete set of nine figures, Face didn't include a secret endo-skeleton arm in every factory case. They also included the same two duplicates in five of the six boxes we opened up - two Terminator Heads and two crawling Arnolds. Out of the six boxes that we opened, we got "one" secret T2 Endo-skeleton arm. Thanks, Face.

Product Condition
NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and factory boxed in the original cardboard containers. The packaging is in very good structural shape with only a few slight dings, creases, or tears caused by years of warehouse-to-warehouse transportation and storage.

Sale Offering

Pricing per factory sealed box of Terminator 2 toys is set at US$43.90 each which includes free shipping by UPS Ground within the continental United States. We'd like to hear how customers fare on the duplicates since we're pretty sure they'll match our experience. «Photo Gallery»
