Title: AvP The Ultimate Showdown DVD Set
Post by: Corporal Hicks on Sep 24, 2007, 07:44:32 PM

AvPR’s release date is drawing closer and that means it’s time for Fox to start milking the money cow. And in what is starting to become a long line of “Ultimate AvP sets” we have an Aussie exclusive: Alien Vs. Predator – The Ultimate Showdown: DVD Collector’s Set:

20070922

“EzyDVD are proud to announce the Australian EXCLUSIVE release for this Limited Edition Monster Box Set featuring 2-Disc Special Edition versions of all 7 Alien/Predator films along with a stylish diorama of a Predator warrior skewering a freshly-hatched Alien! Don’t miss out on this intimidating, must-own collection!”

That about says it all really. It’s a repackaging of what will no doubt be the Quad DVDs, Collectors Edition Predator DVDs and the Unrated AvP. But on the upside, it has a cool little figurine set. You can get this limited edition set off of EzyDVD. Thanks to The Necronoir and Leonard for the news.

This isn't very good for fans of the franchises. We already have all the movies, and the ones we don't have special editions of would be a waste spending loads of cash on the others just to get a crappy toy.

I hope that no one buys this collection.  I hate it when people have all the DVD's ALREADY, and they still go out and buy this even tho the have it all already.

They're also releasing the 'definitive editions' of the Alien and Predator movies.  I don't know what's so different about those and the Quadrilogy set, however.  http://www.ezydvd.com.au/coming.zml?eo=1

I first saw the pic above and i got all excited.I thought it was AVP2 horrorclix!.But its just a movie box set.Its almost as lame as the set i saw for AVP with the two cardboard bust's that they were saying was made of porcelain!.And i agree with Commander Griker,WTF!?!.If fox put as much money into the films as they do with all of this other manure they'd have a movie thats longer the Dune!!   >:(  .

Heres an idea for Fox to spend there money,they should team up with WB and make Batman vs Predator!.With Christian Bale as Batman (hes right up there with Adam West!) and Ian Wight as the pred!.WHO WANTS TO SEE BVP!?!?! .RAISE A HAND!!!  ;D     ;D     ;D  .

They're really pushing that 'Predators-are-now-godly-and-supreme-over-al l-Alien-confrontations' angle, aren't they? :)

Post by: zen on Sep 25, 2007, 02:31:30 AM
Ya they are!.In the comics the preds get whacked left and right!!.Im a big fan of predator,but come on!!!.The preds are highly trained warriors and the aliens are vicious and psychotic!!.They should be equally matched!!.Yet the pred always wins   :P  .

Does anyone know if they'll be making AVP2 horrorclix?.I'd like to know so i can save up some money.

Post by: Krisjohn on Sep 25, 2007, 02:47:57 AM
*fetches the Google cache of the page*  Holy Carp! A$350 !?  I paid A$50-something for my Quadrilogy box set.  I'd love to know how the five extra discs and silly plastic models justify the other A$300.
Title: Re: AvP The Ultimate Showdown DVD Set
Post by: zen on Sep 25, 2007, 02:51:22 AM
They should make 3 more trailers,1 about the Wolf,and they need to play the music from P1/P2.The 2nd should be about the aliens,and they should play the music from A1/A2 and last but not least they've got to make a trailer for the humans and play the music from AVP    ;D     ;D  .That whould be awesome!!!   ;D     ;D  .
Title: Re: AvP The Ultimate Showdown DVD Set
Post by: Krisjohn on Sep 25, 2007, 02:52:09 AM
Last I heard (read) about AvP-R HorrorClix, the position was that there weren't going to be enough potential new and distinctly different models to make it worth doing.  :(  I still hold out hope though.
Title: Re: AvP The Ultimate Showdown DVD Set
Post by: zen on Sep 25, 2007, 02:57:04 AM
WO,$350 bucks!?!?!.Thats insane!!!.i saw the quadrilogy for $69.95,the unrated AVP for $24.95 and the collectors edition of P1 for $24.95.And the SE P2 for $19.95!.And my toys look better then those....things!!.Who are these guys trying to kid!?!?!   >:(     >:(  .

How many dvds do fox need to realease? i mean ive got all the alien & pred films ive got just the normally version's with the original covers (which i wanted) dont buy too much shit! they making money off suckers! lol  This nu dvd sucks...what a waste of £ / $
Title: Re: AvP The Ultimate Showdown DVD Set
Post by: predatorrudy on Sep 25, 2007, 03:59:29 AM
i agree, i already have the Alien Quad and i only have the Pred 1   and you're guys right, why earn so much money if i am only saving up for something more important. There's no room for me to put this new dvd anywhere.. anyway!

Post by: ALIEN WARRIOR on Sep 25, 2007, 04:55:38 AM
i agree with you zen about what you said about the predators and the aliens being equally match and i have all the aliens and predator movies on dvd and i'm not going go out and get that since the figures of that box set looks dorky. i love the alien and predator movies and been a huge fan of them for about 17 years and already i have 21 dvds based on them why should we go out and buy something we already have in our alien and predator dvd collection. i have the first dvd set of alien movies, then the quad, both different dvd covers of predator and predator 2 and the alien vs predator orginal verison and the unrated dvd of alien vs predator.
Title: Re: AvP The Ultimate Showdown DVD Set
Post by: ALIEN WARRIOR on Sep 25, 2007, 04:56:47 AM
i also hate it when someone puts out a newer verison of movies on dvd and the person already has it already why should we spent over so much money for dvds that already gotten before but now days they make newers ones feels like every month seems like. agree?

Post by: Bio Mech Hunter on Sep 25, 2007, 05:40:00 AM
I agree with you, Xenomorphine. The "preds are god" angle" is getting way over the top now. This has been going on for years and enough's enough. Stick to the films, stick to canon.   ::)    This set would potentially kick some serious ass for the newer fans, but with all the rehashes (without any of the substantially deleted material some of the films had) and the advent of another cheap collectible. As for us long time fans who already have these releases, Fox just doesn't really seem motivated enough to make it worth our while. *sighs*

Dont like the action figures the aliens blood is like the predator which is stupid

Post by: The Chibi Kiriyama on Sep 25, 2007, 08:07:56 AM
This is so stupid. I already have the Quadrilogy and if I wanted the Pred movies I'd buy the collection for that.  The only way they'd tempt me to buy is if they had footage of Fincher telling Fox to **** themselves.

i had all the dvds, then the quadrilodgy and special ed's came out so.... i got all them, and now this! theres no way im doin that again
