Alien 3 was pretty bad, dude. Not least the crappy CGI dog alien thing. And the tedium.

It's 36 years old, so I doubt the bubble gum is that nice.

You have valued it, yes?

I valued my 36 years. I rated it 'ok'.

I wouldn't open it unless I had a second one - but I'm not you

You kidding? I have sealed and open copies of nearly everything Alien related - even AvP on the 360, for God's sake.

I have three of these.

(my Collector's Edition of Colonial Marines for the PC (with the powerloader action figure) remains unopened and in it's shrinkwrap - although that's more my commentary on the game itself )

Sort of but the cards are probably different in each. I'd just open all of them.

Quick lurker post...

Audible have a new audio dramatisation of an Alien based novel(la)

http://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Sci-Fi-Fant ... B01D0FHRQQ

"As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey."

....with Rutger Hauer, so it must be good right ? seems pretty good 1hr in.

it appears there may be versions available at your [local library]

Note to self: email gazchap anecdotes in future

Didn't see this post. I bought a copy of this book a few months ago when I saw it in Waterstones but haven't had a chance to read it yet.

Never really got into audiobooks though, for me they're like video tutorials - unnecessarily annoying, as I can't go at my own pace.

I was going to say there's a remarkable lack of Covenant talk around here. I rewatched Prometheus the other day and it was better than I remember. Still some annoying things, but not terrible.
