Has your hunting for parts ever spiraled out of control leaving you wondering, "Where will it end? When will I stop?"
The easy answer is "When I have it ALL!!!" So here is how we will track it.
Below is a list (which will be updated as new info is presented) of EVERY "found object" used in Aliens. This is not an 'overall prop' list, as I am not including components that were 'scratch/custom' built. I am only compiling 'real world' items that might theoretically be found floating around out there.
If you feel there is an error, if something needs clarification, or if something is missing, PLEASE CHIME IN!!! In addition to being reference tool, it would be great if this could spur solutions to the last of the unsolved mysteries.
*(Virtually ALL this info can be found on existing threads in this forum. I did not include citation links within the list because there was just sooo much material, but if a dispute occurs or if a citation is requested I will def be adding the links as the thread evolves.)
