I spotted the Alien Head edition of the Alien Quadrilogy; it's way more expensive than the standard box set but comes with a cool Alien head.

Has anyone bought this and if so is it any good?

Also what does this 9 disc mammoth version (either in the head edition or standard box set) have that the "Alien Legacy" box set (that I already have) doesn't?

Is it worth me getting this (either version) to replace what I have already?

im currently looking for the alien quadrilogy myself to buy, i think it has a new cut of each film which the alien legacy box set does not have. Im only getting it because of Alien 3 has 30 minutes of extended footage in it. i think alien ressurection has 8 minutes of extra, not sure about alien and aliens. think it also has an extra documentary covering the 4 films

They have it on Play.com if you're in the UK - it's only £16 (£100+ for the Alien Head Edition).

The Quad discs are well worth getting. A couple of the special editions ain't on the Alien Legacy box set?

The Head is pretty cool, but isn't too detailed. The dome doesn't fit too well, but I am getting it signed by the cast members that I meet. I managed to get mine for £39 in the HMV sale.

The Quad set, if you already own Legacy, is for the serious fan that must have every "Aliens" releated item. The "Alien" extended film footage I BELIEVE was available as extras on the Legacy DVD. The Extended "Aliens" film was the same as the Laser Disc version we all know and love. Now "Alien 3" its a different story. That film, by the way you can buy em seperately if you want, was a rewrite disaster and it shows in the Extended version. This version is the only film that I bought, as it had never been available before, and was worth the 14.99 I paid for it. The extended scenes are emmence, and some even add to the "Alien" universe in a new way. One thing being the Two Egg laying Facehugger, and various other benifits. I wholely recommend picking up this film, the rest you've probably already seen. As for "Alien resurection" well I never watched the extended version, as it was utter and complete garbage in the first place, and I refuse to recognize it as a canon anyway.....

You guys don't have the Quadrilogy boxed set?!

Only joking, but it is worth getting. It's a very comprehensive source of reference.

That set should be called...' Everything you wanted to know about the alien movies, but were afraid to ask'

its worth every penny, 2 versions of each film, plus each film comes with a bonus disc, the alien head is not that good, i have one.... im just wondering how long it will be before Fox re-issue the films , and include the preadtor films in the set as well...

Yeah, they could call it the "Driving the franchise into the ground edition."
Then you'll have the "Super platinum flogging a dead horse, ultra collectors edition."

Dont forget Blu-ray

Don't make my mistake and sell the Legacy set if you have it*.

The menus, and some of the extras ( Including commentary tracks ) are different.


( *Unless you wanna sell it to me for cheap )

I've had my Quad set for about 3 years now and still not seen all the discs. Aliens and Aliens bonus disc.....well it goes without saying that they have been used more than once
