Hi TheArnoldFans, Karl from AC Worldwide here, I just wanted to give you a quick update on our T-800 project. It was disappointing to not reach our goal for Kickstarter, I was very surprised we didn't get the backers we thought would be out there. However, I am currently over in our factory working on a revised plan to bring out our T-800. But, it will be slightly different than originally planned.

 
Here's what we know so far, we will not be able to include the camera as this an expensive function to develop and instead of the speaker being fully alloy we will now make it in resin with an alloy coat, without the Kickstarter backing we cannot make the investment to its development. However, we will continue with the plan to include the Alexa voice assistant as we know this will be an exciting feature and from the feedback we received, it will be a popular feature.

We have had T-800 on display at the Hong Kong consumer electronics show this week and it has received a great deal of attention.

The good news is, something will definitely be coming from us and we will be able to confirm an updated price and delivery times within the next few weeks once my team and I have looked at all the relevant requirements and plans.

I want to reach out to everyone who supported the Kickstarter campaign and those who would like to own one from the first batch will have that unique opportunity to do so through a pre-order process.  We will need to get minimum of 200 pre orders to offer a 'first batch' exclusive, so I hope we can count on your support​. We estimate the launch will be circa Feb 2018 or maybe a little sooner.

We promise that we'll let you, The Arnold Fans know first hand about the pre-order opportunity within the next few weeks.  

Thanks, 
Karl
