ha- thanks....
i've been a fan a long time. i was too young for the Alien theatrical release but got my folks to rent it for me for my.. probably 10th birthday... maybe 11 depending on what year it hit VHS... 81 or 82 i think....??? somewhere around that. i even had a copy of Eerie's Voyage of the Space Beagle that i read as "basis for alien" ...meh... i was sort of obsessed. At least i got to see Aliens opening night and then when that came to VHS i was working in a video store and pre-orderd a copy... only $89.99 at release... i watched that tape non-stop, even played it in the store most days (it was a little mom/pop place) Still have the official movie magazine and souviner book along with lots of the newer stuff (those original ones are still my favorite) Quote:
I think one of the reasons that Alien, Aliens, and Predator series are some of my favorite movies is because the stories had a lot of originality. Something that is sorely missing these days since most movies are a remake of a remake or sequels/prequels and aren't developing a lot of new ideas.

That's why I really love the Aliens:Special Edition - so many more little character moments in it for most of the cast. It is because of this move that I love James Cameron's work. However, "Avatar" had a few too many "Aliens" elements in it to be considered truly original. The FX were mind-blowing, but still...
And when Alien 3 came out, I was CRUSHED. What a departure it was and an end to Hicks, Newt & Bishop! I still have touble watching it. Grrrrr...

Thanks VR- I went out and picked up some grates and pipe from homedepot... I think I'm going to try and make a mini dio spot for the Aliens/Predator figures... The SDCC display was so dang cool that I feel they need something extra... I'm going to dig out the Mcfarlane guys to try and build on the "infestation" piece

Opened one of my Xeno Warriors the other day and wow...just wow. The quality on these is astounding, far surpassing the first Xenos NECA did. Thought I was done with series one but now I'm pretty sure I want more.
How many Xenos is everyone shooting for? |

I have two so far. I want to get Big Chap as well. Other than that I don't know. It's kinda hard to collect xenos since I rarely see them anymore. Even the number of marines is dwindling in these parts.
