I get the sense they've met him.

I really don't think he gives much of a fuck about Avatar toys. He made Terminator and it made him famous; he made Terminator 2 and it made him wealthy and powerful. Terminator 3? What's the point? Sure, he'll take the check; he's got a submarine to build. But when Avatar happens, it will reflect the things he wants, not the things you want because fuck you and your action figures.

James Cameron made that the year Mork'n'Mindy and Battlestar Galactica came out. It's cool to compare the concept art to what he actually shot - dude has always dreamed bigger.
