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!

If you want to go there...the Casey's General Store in Rockford, Minnesota had a rack of them. These are the old Laramie ones with working slides. $4 each, bright orange.

I had one of these 20 years ago, when they were black :) It's a decent replica, but the "spring" for the slide is actually a rubber band. Easy to take apart and paint.

I would have picked one up, if I didn't already have a Tanio Koba.

Yeah, I'd take another one. I'm thinking of doing up a second VP70 to sell.

Uh, yeah. I'd like one too.

I've had problems in the past with trying to buy VP-70's.

I went to the two local Casey's stations but neither of them had the VP70. However, they did have a 9mm which simply kicks ass. It's sooo detailed, sand down the flash, fill in the screw holes and give it a coat of gunmetal and you'd have yourself a very realistic pistol.

Sorry guys, but I will probably not be going back to Rockford for a while. If I do, I'll buy them out as a public service.
