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!

Great find! I never would have come up with that. Although, there was a surplus army medical pump in the brigade quartermaster catalog that made me think that that was a possibility.

Count me in if anyone ends up seling a run!

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

As soon as I saw the title to this thread I instantly thought of the "pump widget", but that's happened in the past and it's been something else.

I've had wide eyes and my mouth open for the last two minutes. I honestly didn't think we would ever find this.

Outstanding find!

I can't believe that fact that it only has ONE inlet port never "rang any alarm bells" in my mind that maybe it wasn't a pump. Sure it could have been an impeller but still... I could almost kick myself for never thinking of it. :D

And I'm supposed to be an engineer! lol :lol:

I'm in pending price. My real parts tracker is all real... aside for this part.

.....<span style="font-size:small;](speechless).....


Like others here, I've found many that were close,
but never scored the big hit.

I was giving up hope that we would ever see it.
If there is a group buy planned.. I'm in!

Yay...
Behold the next soon-to-be massively overpriced bit of junk on eBay that before now no-one wanted. I think the process should be called 'to be or to become Eumig-ed'? after an infamous episode on the RPF.
I'm happy enough now knowing what it was after all this time. Many thanks to all concerned, this must rank as the equivalent of the OWK emitter quest for Aliens fans.

Excellent work Alex!

However, you are wrong. :twisted:

The part in question is definitely a

They might want to issue a retraction on that now... :lol:

Excellent find ! Please put me on the list when you`ll have the chance to get some.

Ha! What's the bet that in fact "Master Replicas' designers" managed to "locate" and identify the parts by reading up on our research!
:D

Group buy sounds promising. It'd be the first part I've actually got for the tracker.

<span style="font-size:large;]Unfreakin' believable!

What more can be said? Many of us know how mysteriously elusive this part has been -- and some more than others. You know who you are. ;)

Great update Alex! Be sure to thank Adrian & John for us -- ALL of us! :D

Definitely count me in for one if a group purchase can be facilitated at a fair price. :)

Thought there may be some happy marines round here :lol: thanks for the comps too, its good to be able to give something back to the community every now and then, even if it is a piece of metal.

I'm going to get some comparison pics done in the next few days against an MR version, i'll post them for your scrutiny when they are done.

We are currently talking with the suppliers for a private bulk purchase so i'll keep you posted on the possibilities of getting these (Adrian is confident that we can get them)

I have indeed passed on the thanks from here to the guys :D
