I believe as far as Europe goes, Germany, UK and France gave Terminator 2: Judgment Day the best and most original coverage. I'm very familiar with the way Germany promoted the movie because at the time I was neighboring Germany and got plenty of magazines from there from a friend of my siblings.
Various German magazines heavily featured the movie before, during and after its premiere there, and Bravo, which was a late teen/young adult entertainment magazine, was one of T2's biggest supporters. It featured T2 related articles in multiple issues in both 1991 and 1992, and if it didn't cover anything movie related or its stars, it had some really good and unique posters no else printed.
This time I want to focus on an issue that I actually didn't have as a kid, but while I don't often collect non English written magazines, I do make exceptions if there's something very unique about them, and Bravo's November 1991 issue qualifies.
The magazine often featured either really large posters or stickers with whatever was a hot commodity as the time. And this issue, other than some reports on Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Eddie Furlong (Robert Patrick had a full page exclusive home visit in Feb 1992 issue), also featured a Terminator sticker. So in a way, it's a unique collectible, because I don't think a 1991 sticker from a German teen magazine is in hands of many collectors. I still won't file it under the "Exceptionally Rare" tag because it really isn't in Europe. It's not dime a dozen there, and indeed not many people saved stickers in a magazine from their youth, but there always is a mint issue with stickers circulating on German eBay, and for a good price.
The Terminator sticker itself (which I first mentioned HERE) is small, it's just 1-1/4 by 1 inch, but the quality of it is astounding. The large collectible Impel stickers aren't as sharp and high quality as those are. The picture I took and show here doesn't reflect its quality. It features a shot of the T-800 shooting the minigun in Cyberdyne window. One of the other stickers featured is that of Guns'N'Roses, which were and are of course, a part of T2.
It's a cool, less known little collectible miraculously preserved in mint condition.
