    I have paid all sorts of prices for these guys & in the day they would sell for $20-30 (2 pack) & people have paid a lot more ......every one has been worth every penny . I hear & read that the original Venom 'looks' out of place amongst present-day stuff .....maybe he does but that single Minimate pack is all sorts of awesome whilst the Canadian Tongue-out pack is just not for sale....not from me anyway :no:

    Cappy was kind enough to say that I know everything about Minimates ....I don't & I'm always willing to learn :thumbsup:

    Speaking of Canadian Venoms, where did my single carded one end up. I honestly have no clue who got that?

    Maybe I can rebuild that chunk of your house for you?

    Out of Minimates?

    The "rebuild" phrase was perhaps a little overkill, basically a loft conversion and the splitting of the master bedroom into two. The Master bedroom has a walk in cupboard about 8foot square thats currently FULL of boxes of mates, lego, random toys and longboxes full of comics. Gonna be interesting trying to move it somewhere.

    Ah the memories.

    I think most/all of my "cool stuff" has long gone to new homes in order to continue the spread of Toy Karma and to finance the continued existence of my children.

    That said in the next few months I have to rebuild a large chunk of my house, which means liberating things from storage... who knows what I still have! (probably nothing!)

    Although I know I have a lot of Art Asylum shit somewhere (N the Box, Tony Hawks 3 3/4" figures etc)

    All very good points, I'd have preferred that ending too to be honest.

    Common sense did seem to go out of the window at a lot of points in the movie.

    If I could figure out how to do "spoilers" I'd put in my 2p too, but don't want to ruin the film for those that haven't seen it yet.

    Here we go,Apologies for spelling/structure its cribbed from a few emails.

    I liked it, don't get me wrong it was a cool film however:

    Aside from the curveball that its not the planet from Alien so there are clearly other ships dotted around and more story to tell. Sadly its not the same planet, it lingers on LV223 on the screens a few times when alien was LV426. Plus if it *was* the same planet it now has a crashed ship, some temple things, some more ships and Shaws escape pod sat on it and Weyland Yutani know where it is, no need to divert the Nostromo. (Yes I get there *are* more films to come, but still... a lot of people are convinced it WAS the planet from Alien.. way to make it confusing)

    The Aliens clearly already existed so this wasn't the birth of them as they were on the Mural in the "Head" room.

    If something killed and burst out of most of the engineers and put the corpses in a nice pile, where did it go?

    If the Engineers decided 2000 years ago to wipe us out due to Jesus (according to interviews with Ridley) and before that liked us and gave us cave paintings as an invite, why the fudge do the paintings invite us to their secret lair where they make WMDs? Also if they set off 2000 years ago to kill us then got waylayed/wiped out why did the one surviving Engineer decide to just pop in and out of statis rather than doing it, as it was clearly shown he could.

    Does it really take 3 people to kill themselves to crash one small ship into a huge one right nearby?

    I felt some of the scenes seemed out of order too... like that special med pod in Weylands daughters room that was DUN DUN only for MEN! So clearly meant to hint at something, except we already knew he was on the ship....

    It was cool and all, just needs an hour longer Directors Cut imo.

    In an ideal world I'd have liked the film to be broadly similar up to the part where they rammed the ship. I'd much rather everyone was on the ship, they rammed it, they all died and the Engineer ship was massively damaged but left the atmosphere and continued towards earth while falling apart... then for one of the goo worm things to infect the Engineer, leading to him having a chestbustery thing kill him and slope off to fill the ship with eggs while his ship drifted and eventually crashed on the planet from Alien. Therefore perfectly setting up Alien, Rather than the blatent sequal setup we got of a woman and an Android head going on an adventure.

    As I said in the other thread, I think Prowlar made an interesting point about this being a potential universe reboot a la Flashpoint.

    Someone told me ASM #700 or so does that

    Just when people might have started to think Geoff had been removed from the company they go and spoil it all with such a childish, unprofessional "news" post.

    That is going to go on to become an absolute classic in Shocker history.

    Once a horrific bunch of scam artists, always a horrific bunch of scam artists, no matter how many "corporate structures" they change.

    We here at the new Shocker Toys thank all the fans and collectors for their continued support in these hard and changing times.

    So that's New Shocker Toys, how long till we transition to Dark Shocker Toys and Geoff tries to convince us all that he was replaced by a Skrull?
