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!

Somthing like that would be great! Have we had the 12th confirmed as release date?

Wondering if I should add an addendum saying photos only after purchasing the game?

Don't want the shop filled with people just wanting pics and/or to hold the PR and then walking out without buying anything. :|

I don't want to sound negative (but I always do...), or insult either the shops or the game, but I don't think you will have queues of people around the block at any random game shop to buy Aliens:CM on release day.

It would also be a tricky rule to enforce, not least because many of the people who will most want photos will be under 18.

A couple of Marines at a small game shop will do very little to help sales of the game in the scheme of things - it is best thought of as an excuse to meet up and get kitted up. So I'd say you should avoid bizarre restrictions like that.

I want to get A3-A2 sized pics printed up for putting in the Game shop window a week or two prior to the game release date. :)

Any chance of getting the Marine banner image in a larger size by this time next week, so I can get the poster finished? :)

Here's the poster in updated A3, A2 and A1 size PDFs:

I'll be getting a test print at A1 this coming week, just to see how it looks. :)

Popped to the shopping centre earlier to speak to the management and security; all clear for the pulse rifle and other weapon replicas, as long as it stays in the Game shop. :)

Have asked Game for larger versions of their Extermination Edition boxart for the poster. If I don't hear back in a fortnight I'll just print the poster with normal art. 8)

Version 2.

I couldn't find a big enough version of a single box art, so am not sure how sharp it'll look at anything other than A3, will do a test print this week.
