This is gonna sound really stupid to anyone who is not a fan of the "Alien" series of films. If I had the cash, there'd be one of those in my movie room. That is freakin' sweet! I'm glad they made it actual size (like it matters), and bothered to include the line "some assembly required." Yah, I bet it took Stan Winston's design studio weeks to prepare one of those for Aliens, now you can have it assembled in a few hours! While we're on the subject, right next to it I'd have a lifesize model of the Terminator with that laser gun in his hand (just like the beginning of T2)! Damn movie props are cool!!

First, it looks really shitty and cheap in person.

Second, it's not a really an actual prop from any of the films.

Third, that price is a joke.

First off, I don't give a crap how much it costs. If it does indeed look "cheap" in person, that'd be another story. I realize it's not an actual prop from the movie, that's probably at either James Cameron's or Stan Winston's house. As for where I'd put it, wantone, I'd MAKE room! Bye bye kitchen table!! (Hey, I can always eat over a trash can or tarp of some kind! ) I agree that for $21.5k it better look damn good, but you gotta expect that kind of money for movie props. Hollywood just loves gouging the hell out of people. I guess it's just one of those things where if you don't immediately "get it," you never will...
