1st Annual Arnold Fan Auction Kicks Off on Black Friday!
Randy JenningsIt’ nearly Turbo Time but It’s not very likely that you’ll find some cool Arnold collectibles at your local neighborhood garage sales. In fact, you could spend all day going from house to house and only score a sloppy VHS copy of Raw Deal. So I’m bringing my ONLINE garage sale to you! That’s right, I’m opening up the garage door here to TheArnoldFans headquarters. Just in time for Christmas, I’ve got some cool collectibles for you so treat yourself to a great holiday gift or you can buy one of these gifts for a fellow Arnold fan!
As a big Arnold collector myself, I sometimes acquire duplicate items. “HE’S GOT TWO!” But I don’t need two anymore – especially when YOU have been on Turboman’s nice list. SO put those cookies down and listen up. This Friday, in ebay, you can bid on all of these Arnold items and others that are coming straight from my home to yours. On Black Friday, the link to all of these items will be posted below so be sure to bookmark this page now!
FOR SALE:
The officially licensed ERASER Senigraph SIGNED by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Framed by WB! This was a Warner Brothers Studio store exclusive from 1996. Arnold himself signed 250 of these lithographs and it comes with the Warner Bros certificate of authenticity!! This is not a reproduction; this is Arnold’s actual signature and is a signed and numbered limited edition! The frame is the original Warner Brothers gallery frame and as a special feature, you can push a button which lights up a Schwarzenegger film cell built in. Only 250 of these Arnold ERASER items were produced and sold for over 800.00 but I’m starting my bidding off at only 50.00! The size of the frame is about 25" x 22" and this is number 144 of 250. 
This 1991 officially licensed Terminator 2 Judgment Day SILVER coin shows Arnold Schwarzenegger as half endoskeleton and half Austrian Oak T-800 cyborg. The front shows Arnold and the back shows the T2 logo and film title. This is a limited edition and numbered at #466 and is factory sealed. The value of the silver alone in this coin is worth about 40.00! 
This super rare 1992 Terminator 2 Endoskeleton joystick by Cheetah has never been opened. If you’re the ultimate Arnold Schwarzenegger / James Cameron / Terminator fan, then you’ll love this rare and scary collectible! The joystick was made for SEGA. This is an officially licensed product. 
Sylvester Stallone Package: Rambo Silver Coin & Escape Plan Cup!
The Rambo coin features Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo on the front with the writing “Rambo Trade Units. Pure American Silver.” The back says “one troy ounce. .999 fine silver. 100 RTU’s.” From the 1980s (I think it says 1988). As a bonus, you’ll get an Escape Plan plastic cup. Did you love this Arnold Schwarzenegger / Sly film as much as us? Then drink to the success of this highly entertaining film from this cup! 
Here’s a Terminator 2 Judgment Day Endoskeleton model kit by the Japanese model company Aoshima. Yhe box has some minor shelfware but the contents are mint and unopened! This is a fully complete 1/9th scale model of the t-800 endo. The contents are all still sealed in bags and the instruction manual is included. Perfect for Arnold Schwarzenegger / Terminator fans this holiday season! 
Two items here. 1. T2 Arnold autograph! Autographed by Arnold Schwarzenegger at his work place and mailed directly to me for winning the Fan Site of the Month award in 1999. Why am I selling? Well, I prefer to keep just my autographs that are personalized to me. Considering this is one of the most iconic images of Arnold as the T-800 Terminator on his motorcycle... this might be the perfect Arnold-signed autograph for you! The signature is perfect (not sloppy or rushed) and signed in a gold pen. 2. An original Terminator 1 Gargoyles display sign. This is a thick cardboard sign that was in stores advertising the glasses. There is a stand on the backside so you can stand this item up! 
Here’s a sealed tin of The Governator mints (not for Girlie Men). These were sold in many gift stores in Sacramento when Arnold Schwarzenegger was Governor. These are a few years old so I wouldn’t recommend opening this and eating the mints. You’re also getting a retired Terminator 2: 3D pin from Japan that shows 2 mini-hunters and an endoskeleton. Mint and sealed in the bag. 
Two retired Universal Studios Japan pins for the Terminator 2 3-D attraction. One shows Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800 and the other is the endoskeleton prototype Terminator soldier from Cyberdyne systems (wasn’t he a T-70?)! Both made of metal and are in mint condition! 
You get BOTH the 1989 Total Recall hand-held game by Akklaim Entertainment Inc and Terminator 3: The Redemption for the XBOX (still factory sealed and in perfect condition). The Total Recall game is in great condition and it works with 2 AA batteries. Item is near mint but contains no box or instructions. You can figure out though that you are playing Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Douglas Quaid and your fighting Martians and bad guys. Fantastic, right? 
You’re getting two items here: 1. Terminator 2 Judgment Day FilmCardz Lighted Viewer mint and sealed! Officially licensed item with Endoskeleton graphics! Created for your T2 FilmCardz. Just put your cards in this lightbox to bring the t-800 to life! Created by Artbox and the ultimate Arnold Schwarzenegger fan! 2. You’re also getting a mint and sealed box of Terminator LEGOs. Okay, maybe they are a LEGO knock-off by the company BEST-LOCK, but these are officially licensed toys! In this box you’re getting the Aerial Hunter Killer and a T-800 Endoskeleton. 
T800 Endoskeleton Paper Craft Book. Create your own ½ scale size (93cm) endoskeleton paper model. This is an officially licensed Terminator 2 Judgment Day product made for the ultimate Arnold Schwarzenegger / Terminator collector. Made by Kodansha in Japan, there appears to be roughly 100 or so pages inside to create your giant paper model (made of thick and durable paper). 
Finally, I want to unveil a special art project that I created for the world’s best and ballsiest Arnold fans! THE WEAPONS OF ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER! Come on, you KNOW you want my 11 x 17 color poster that shows the most iconic weaponry/killing devices used by Arnold against the villains. In addition to seeing the weapons, one classic one-liner accompanies each film. Although I will be selling a few of these exclusively at TheArnoldFans soon, THIS poster will be signed by me and will be NUMBER ONE in the limited edition. You’ll also be getting a surprise Arnold Schwarzengger gift or two! This poster shows all the classics including the weapons for Conan, The Terminator, Predator, Escape Plan and even promotes his upcoming film Sabotage, Maggie and Terminator 5!
