The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Toys R Us is still operating in Canada. They have a few NECA products available for purchase on their website, most notably the Alien Queen.

I don't think the first release was that much, but they have since re-released it. Maybe that version is super expensive for some reason??

I think it is just Canadian dollars. Not as bad if you do the conversion rate.

Nope, something's fishy about that price. My Queen was only like $110 CAD plus tax. But mine is the first issue. From my understanding, nothing has changed much from the original, it was simply just a re-release due to demand.

Maybe TRU online has doubled their prices in a last ditch effort to dig the company out. Though they'd have to sell a LOT of stuff.

I guess it’s possible. Prices for NECA items specifically seem oddly high (pink 8-bit xenomorph for $39.99, T-1000 for $44.99), but the listings for other, roughly similarly-sized action figures like Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series are consistent with the $29.99 average offered by other sellers like Walmart and Amazon.

Sheesh, those prices for the NECA stuff you quoted DO seem really high.

Mega has an "Aliens Character Pack" slated for release later this year. No pics yet, but they've added an "Aliens" logo to their "Worlds" page, alongside Halo, Destiny, Call of Duty, Masters of the Universe and so on. :)

I started an account on MEGACONSTRUX and left reviews for the figures. I think this is a good way for us to showthem there is interest.
im gonna try to be active on their site until we get them to make a dropship. I'm "corpseven" on there.
Maybe I could find out whos in charge of the ALIENS line ad see if theyd do an AMA on this forum.



Heres a dropship:

I have seen pictures of new items for ALIENS. They will be releasing eggs containing slime and either one or two xenomorphs of various colors and facehuggers. There was talk of a queen BAF part to be included in each egg, but that turned out to be false.

They will also be releasing a Predator and a Dutch figure.

I went to my local Wal-Mart and found these today, so I picked up one egg. I'll probably end up getting all the variants. :roll:

How big are the eggs? They look pretty decent and might be fun to repaint. What scale would you ballpark them as?

The egg is about 4.25" tall, so I suppose an 18 inch figure might be in close in scale? There's a pretty hefty line created by the two halves meeting, but nothing a little seam filler can't fix....although sanding seam filler down might destroy the detail.

I haven't opened mine yet, so I don't know which ones I have, although I can easily remedy that. :) There are codes on the bottom that you can use to make sure you get all three eggs/variant figures, I *think* I read that as long as the last three numbers are different, but the first few are the same, each should have different contents...check YouTube. There was a blue version of the drone that came out last year as a single carded figure.
