Edit: Huh, you're right about BattleBlock Theater. And... Alien Hominid is only on Xbox Live Arcade. Wow, seems like a lost fanbase due to it. Seems strange that they ported CC over to PSN but not the others.

And... Game 4 is going to be an Xbox One exclusive. I won't own a PS4 anytime soon but it just seems unnatural for a indie dev to only make for one console when they have made for several others in the past.

I think people on PSN finally yelled enough about it and got CC on PSN, but only because I do not think it was an exclusive in contract. But the new game is I think (or at least timed for a few years).

It is too bad, especially considering PSN must now be the dominate platform for the new gen based on console sales (this is was caused a lot of exclusives to XBL last gen, they sold better there and MS has a bad policy that a game cannot release on PSN first and they have always been an exclusive grabber. Now Sony has started doing this out of spite).

I must ask... How much did you pay for that GameStop sign? I watch a lot of American Pickers and old/historical company signs can go for crazy money.. tho GameStop still around, but that really makes your gaming room stands out!

Ha ha, yeah. I actually got that from a GameStop that was having to close down. It was their indoor sign above their register. I don't know how much rarer they are getting as I'm starting to notice other GameStops that don't have them when they are either new stores or they get a reno.

I also got a Wii kiosk and I will tell you, that thing is heavy! It sucks now because I have no room for it and it sits in my garage. The table where the Wii would sit is now turning yellow just like the SNES console.

Also, I didn't pay anything for them. I noticed I didn't exactly answer your question when I was reviewing my comment, lol!

Hmm... not sure if they would. Plus, I would have to see if the gf doesn't want it (she can be a hoarder sometimes). I would be skeptical due to the cost of the weight in shipping it. Can't be cheap.

A little update.

I promised to show Snowpiercer my Alien Queen I recently bought at a ComicCon of sorts. I was also even able to get it at a little discount. So that's a plus!

Here is my gf's little shrine to Aliens and Predators. Figured I would show the whole bunch if I'm going to show one of them.

Spoiler!

I bought this and thought it would go well with my Hitman and Cartman figures (since they are all "big heads")

Another Master Chief statue by Kotobukiya!

Finally got this at a decent price. It seems so many people are proud of this game that they want to sell it for more than $200.

I ordered two more of these. Bad news is this one has a rip at the top of the box. Packaging was fine so whomever put this together did the damage and not through transit.

I'm hoping to see if my contact will get me a MM 3DSXL. I'm not holding my breath but one can hope.

Till next time guys!

@g6t9ed,

thank you for the images of the Aliens Queen!

I suppose it is the NECA model. Very nice having some more images out of the box.

They are doing a very fine job with all their figures and the details on the Queen are remarkable.

I look forward to their Ellen Ripley line coming in june.

Yeah, it's NECA. I absolutely love their craftsmanship. Not the best of quality in most of their stuff but I would never turn them down.

If you can see it, my gf has the older Alien Queen in the middle of all the mess and she wanted this NECA Anniversary Edition.

I did not know about the Ripley line in June. Exciting!

I think NECA does a very good balance in detail and price.

Comparing images of the Aliens Queen by Sideshow collectibles (16“) and NECA (15“), you will find areas the Sideshow model is not over-superior. In fact the paintjob by Sideshow is outstanding, but the price of 400 USD on release was also.

In june NECA will do Ellen Ripley 1979 in versions with jumpsuit/flamethrower and white spacesuit.

End 2015 they plan releasing Ellen Ripley 1986 fully armed for Newts rescue and a torn apart Bishop. So both perfect additions for your Queen.

Showed my gf your response and she is pretty giddy about the Ellen Ripley. Should make for an interesting time watching her try to organize a makeshift diorama with the Aliens Queen.

And I agree about your comparison with Sideshow. There is a level of quality that each company is known for but at some point, the price and craftsmanship does plateau.
