I bought one of these vinyl life size kits at the original Alien war shows at Glasgow in the early 90's, they are out of production now I think?, was wondering if they are worth anything if anyone knows?

I've built it, filled the body with silicone and used wire coat hangers in the legs to make them posable, have almost finished painting it to a pretty good standard.

Id go and ask in the aliens section on the sideshow forums they would give you an answer.

Pics would also be handy

Thanks guys will seek out that forum.

I'll try get some pics up once I get my camera back.

When I made my post yesterday I was struggling to remember how much the kit cost, but recall it was £50 back in about 1991 ... I'm guessing it would be worth more to a collector unbuilt and still boxed ... I'll probably keep it, not really strapped for cash just now, was just curious.

They had the 1/1 scale Pulse Rifle kit for sale at the time too, wish I'd bought it.

Did anyone here go see any of the Alien War shows? I've never been so scared in my whole life, talk about suspension of belief ... you really thought you were there.

Cheers.

I'd be keen to see some pictures, I'll have no idea or be able to give you an input on value though, I'm just nosey.

I also went to Alien War in Glasgow, think I was 12 or 13 years old. I was so scared I cried. People laughed.

Edit: Just remembered. I was 11, so now you can't judge me for crying. Okay.

Good to see some original Alien War Glasgow vets here ... we made it ... phew!!

I remember having heard about it through the grapevine, up in NE Scotland at the time working at Ardersier oil yard ... holidays came up, was single .. loved the Aliens franchise so thought I'd trek down to Glasgow ... boy was it worth it!!!

It was underneath the arches then, with the train station above, the whole shaking noise when you were inside the make believe complex, when a real train went overhead unseen added to the audio effect ... quite unintentionally I'm sure

I recall some worried parents allowed two young kids to go with me, the parents asked me to take them in (complete strangers, but that's how friendly Glasgow is) The show had no rating then and nobody really knew what to expect.

My God, these kids were clinging on to me and when we had the first encounter with the Alien .. I found myself involuntarily pushing them in front of me to the escape route the Marine was showing us ... I looked back again at the Xenomorph in the darkness (my heart was racing) but it had vanished into the darkness amongst loud gunfire from my protective Marines.

The proximity counter scene they did was the best though, just like Aliens ... we were supposedly in a lift, but the Marine was counting off the proximity to the alien ... it was getting closer ... closer, then there it was again, loud deafening gunfire .. then running through into daylight, handing those damn kids who clung on to me to their parents

Very intense show ... you had to try it to appreciate it.

Tried later shows in Aberdeen, not quite the same IMHO.

LOL, maybe you were one of the kid I helped through the complex

I'm 50 now.
