Picked up NECA's Aliens series 3 and a second Alien Queen today. They all came out pretty good. A 3 pack with the Classic Alien, Warrior Alien and Dog Alien would be cool for them to make.
Surely that second Alien Queen is your Christmas gift for me, right? Right...?

Sorry, It's actually for my wife. She saw the first one I bought and immediately wanted one for herself so she could repaint it (Black with gold and silver highlights like 2 Genocide 2-pack black Alien) and display it with her collectibles.

But seriously, if you haven't gotten one yet and want one, I would definitely pick it up. It's pricey, but it's the most accurate Queen sculpt there is, and is sure to be very rare and hard to find in the future.

Yeah I'm waiting until I get my last paycheck from my current job (which is going to have like 90 hours of unused vacation time tacked on) and then I plan on going hog-wild.

Nice, I paid $41 for GA last night (employee discount). I guess Amazon sellers can get away with lower prices when they're buying cases at a time.

This guy will be coming home with me as soon as I pay off some Christmas shopping.

This line is going to hell quick. They've stopped caring about any quality in the products or the lineup of characters.
I can handle lineups and I feel that all sculpts are reasonable to good.

However, I can't handle lovely quality and since wave 3, they've been pulling out all stops between paint and poor plastic (the hand on my Bespin Luke broke in half). I reached my limit with Yoda. Bad paint applications and worthless leg articulation is too much to ask for my continued support. I'm out.

It's ironic given my "bar" for minimally acceptable paint, articulation, and accessories has been Hasbro's 4" Black series. That seems to be changing though and if they keep up their direction, my wallet is going to feel a little crowded in 2015.

Yeah, gonna grab that metroid, maybe a couple of em to go with SH FigureArts Samus (ie. the definitive version of Samus).

The rest look like trash and not worth collecting.

My 89 props case is coming along.



I need to do a lot of touchups and finish the emblem. Then onto the custom foam inserts for the props. I'm thinking belt and speargun in the bottom and the emblem mounted to the lid foam, if it can reliably stay up there with a bit of velcro. I'm not sure since it is steel, and I don't want to goober up the entire back with velcro. This will also be a good, smaller case to test out my foam supplier before I order the much more expensive design for my Nolan universe equipment case.

Someone else posted a link to a hastings sale of it for 35. I was at Toysrus last week and there was a PILE literally of them shoved onto an endcap so you might have some luck.

If all else fails I have an extra I picked up to be helpful, but only one other person took advantage of. If none of the above works out hit me up and I'll help you out.

Sweet, thanks. I may try one last time today when they open at 10 since work is slow and keep an eye out for them on an end cap.

I know some people said they had em near the dvd section, but from the two Toysrus I've located them they were both in the toy aisle (once the endcap of the aisle) where they keep the other movie toys. The bluray was in a clamshell next to them. Good luck!

Checked TRU and nada, only the purple/blue '89 Batman video game figure. If any of you are willing to pick up the actual black figure with the blu-ray I will repay you. Even if you want to keep the Blu-ray and reduce the cost we can do that.
