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!

I think a lot of ya'll have seen this on facebook, but figured I'd give everything a little send-off here as well.

Long story short, the demand for useful living space has increased rapidly in my household. My little mini-museum/display area is being assimilated.
I am breaking it all down and putting it in the shed. It won't be permanent. It could be back in as little as 2 or 3 years (7 or 8 worst case scenario).

I have no plans to sell anything. New constructions/builds will continue as the WIPS have not been packed away. I will also still dig out specific costumes if a convention or event calls for it. But overall... a sad but necessary phase where it all goes into storage.

Final photos before they hit the storage bins...

Future continuity photos for re-dressing the set.

Very nice collection.
Question on the last image...
Is that an original, tan colored, Torcia Vega?

My man cave has completely disappeared since we had our son, all my stuff is in carrier bags in the spare room.
I feel your pain!
