T2 Terminator 2: Judgment Day Turns 27

On July 3rd T2 aka Terminator 2: Judgment Day turns 27. Those who have been around at the time of its release know what kind of phenomenon it was, watched and talked about by everyone, present in every magazine. Many of us collected the magazines, sticker, pinups and just about anything with the T2 logo on it. It's hard to describe what kind of an event that movie was and a milestone in pop culture for those who haven't experienced it. Only few matched it since then

Our main webmaster/founder is an avid collector of the vintage The Terminator and T2 merch and vintage magazines, so we asked him what is the hardest item to obtain and what is his favorite: "In my experience the hardest to obtain are either a coloring book Terminator 2: Crayon By Numbers with Light or European, 2 paged sticker album (and I'm not talking about the Topps stickers or the binder for them) for stickers that came with bubble gum over there. When it comes to the first movie, I guess the press kit and certain magazines. My favorites are quite easy to obtain - it would've been the Cinefex issues for The Terminator and T2 (issues #21 and #47) and some other magazine specials. I liked vintage magazines, they almost always have some rare photos and they're a snapshot of the time. Not to mention they're very interesting because most of them contain obscure interviews with either Arnold or Jim"
