What's everyone doing for ALIEN DAY?!

I've got it booked off the day job so I'll no doubt have the quadrilogy on while I attempt to catch everything coming out/being announced.

I just looked and Alien Day is a Friday this year, depending on my workload I might have to see about taking the day off.

Last year I think I watched Alien Covenant? I'm not sure which one I'll watch this year, maybe one of the AvP movies.

I'm hoping I'll be around for Alien Day. :P I'll probably draw some stuff and post it on Twitter. Goof around with some internet friends.

Cry over the fact that I can't really get anything yet.

Dane Hallett has been working on some stuff for Alien Day (another book, I assume) but he's also put together his own thing for Alien Day, some alternate posters for the films.

In keeping with the fred title, that would be a Friday for us folk Downunder, so work, hit at least one of the movies, we generally have a late night hook up to see how we are going with a little project that involves web pages, a quiz system, and lots of alien trivia to rock out to.

Not a lot of buzz around Alien Day at the moment. I'm somewhat disappointed at the quiet. We'd had announcements of things to expect by this point the last few years. Makes me worried there won't be much this year. Perhaps the Anniversary shorts are taking up all the attention.

It surprises me it's so quiet.  Ya.  This time last year we had all kinds of previews of what to expect. 

I'm guessing the lack of any movie in production and the recent Disney/Fox settlement has everyone a little hesitant about reveals. 

I'm sure we'll see some neat stuff come 'ALIEN Day'.  Who knows?  Maybe we'll even have some News about a new movie.  Right now, I'll be happy to hear about something.

I was going to ask if there was a thread compiling everything that's been announced; I guess this answers that question.

Given some of the other things releasing in April (Alien 4K, Alien: Echo) and it being the 40th anniversary, I'm surprised they didn't coordinate more stuff to release specifically on Alien Day.

There's no Super7 announcement on that link.  There are some new Loyal Subjects figures coming out in May; and the Diamond select ALIENS Warrior envelope opener gets a mention.  The rest of the announcement involves books which you'll already know about, some posters and a reminder NECA have figures coming out but no Super7 stuff is covered in the announcement.

I know Super7 will be releasing their 3rd Wave of ALIEN SPACE VILLAIN blind box figures in June.  Plus 3.75 inch figures of Ripley, Newt, Hicks, Vasquez, Hudson and Bishop (which can be pulled in half.  lol) is coming but I have no release date.

Info on those items here (http://www.hideousplastic.com/?p=9545), here (http://www.hideousplastic.com/?p=9557) and here (http://www.hideousplastic.com/?p=9579).

Super7 may have something else planned. We still haven't had any word on their ReAnimated figures for over a year now.  Maybe we'll find out about those on 4/26.

I think it'll always be Dallas' realisation of the gravity of his brave but badly thought out insistence of going into the ducts to flush the creature out.
I remember my belly getting that falling feeling as his expression and voice slowly changed to barely controlled panicky terror as he realises he's completely alone and in the cramped confines of the ship's bowels with something he can't even comprehend and his mind is playing tricks on him.

I always felt that the alien showing up was a bit of a let down, at least compared to the insanely tense build up as all his bravado starts to evaporate

They were also released as a set of 5 exclusives on blue card (http://www.hideousplastic.com/?p=8046) for New York Comic Con last year.  Ripley didn't quite make it and was withdrawn.  I am expecting she will show up as an ALIEN Day release.  Unfortunately, these things are ridiculously hard to come by now and stupidly expensive when you do find them.  Gah.  :(

There's no black card versions, unfortunately.  On the other hand it would be neat if Parker, Brett and Lambert did get a black card release.  I'm not the only other person who wants that to happen.  It's certainly not too late.

Yes, I'd have preferred blue card since that would match the rest of my vintage Alien stuff, but was forced to go black since I'm not a Con person (and not filthy rich). I just want to have the whole crew on matching cards to hang on my wall!

Reebok Is Bringing Back the Lance Bishop-Approved Alien Stomper (https://solecollector.com/news/2019/04/reebok-alien-stomper-bishop-edition-40th-anniversary-scarlet-snowy-grey-castle-dv8578-release-date)

QuoteRidley Scott's 1979 film Alien is praised as one of the best sci-fi films ever made. To celebrate the film's 40th anniversary, Reebok is bringing back a special edition of the mid-top Alien Stomper famously worn by one of the film's protagonists Lance Bishop in the 1986 sequel Aliens.

Not quite as extravagant as the ultra high-cut pair worn by main hero Ellen Ripley in the film, this pair is a much more wearable height. The shoe maintains its OG appearance with a cream leather upper, grey suede on the heel and strap, large midfoot strap, and red detailing. Reebok branding can be seen on the lateral and medial portion of the strap, ankle strap, and heel.

Release Date: 04/26/19
Color: Scarlet/Snowy Grey/Castle

Sure, but the actual post about the shoes -- from the makers -- specifically mentions that it's in honour of the 40th anniversary of Alien.

Like yeah, Alien Day is for the series as a whole, but they'e specifically jumping onto the 40th anniversary of the original film for the release. That's different.

Well then they have to release Kyle Reece's trench-coat for the 58th anniversary of Short Circuit

I'd buy that too!

Can I say just how much I love that this has become a thing? Ever since the first Alien Day having this fan holiday is something I always look forward too. Endgame is taking up my attention for now but having Alien Day right after Endgame is a nice bonus.

Funko did release an ALIEN breakfast cereal very recently.  It even included a premium collectible inside and the box looked great.

All accounts regarding the cereal itself is it's best not eaten. 

Eat the box instead.

The chestburster scene by Charles Hall. Amazing work, all on a trading card. Needless to say this painting is not for sale ;)

Title: Re: Alien Day 2019
Post by: Corporal Hicks on Apr 26, 2019, 11:41:49 AM
I don't believe there is a code. It just says on the shop buy 3, get the cheapest free. At least for me.
Title: Re: Alien Day 2019
Post by: Voodoo Magic on Apr 26, 2019, 11:49:38 AM
The individual statues are already 10% off. You type in promo code "ALIEN" and you get a discount of 20% more. Buying three statues puts you over the free shipping mark, so 30% off a three statue order is basically getting one statue for free.

I don't know any other codes than that, and it doesn't apply to special higher priced items. Hope that helps.

Nope, same banner in the U.S.

It's funny, the banner was there yesterday and the "ALIEN" code was revealed much earlier on coupon sites and so far been working for at least a week. ;D

Happy Alien Day for everyone here from far far away Ukraine where nothing Alien-related actually happens ever sigh!

Also i'm just curious to know how you, guys (and girls) celebrates this day? Do you watch movies, play games, meet your fan-friends or something else? I really would love to know  ;)

I'm personally gonna watch AVP movie today. Yeah, exactly this one. Sorry, but this was the first one for me in both franchises and it used to made me crazy in a good way when i was younger and it still has special place in my heart. Oh, and if i'll have some time left i'll read my Russian edition of Cold Forge which i've got only recently. Maybe it'll be better experience (it's only my second read) with me understanding each damn word  :)

Again, have a good Alien Day!

P.S. God, i'm sooo jealous about you, fans abroad getting new audio drama because there is a very slight chance i'll be able to get it here. Sigh again

Would anyone actually like a pair of the Stompers? The size I brought was too small for me (got confused with the conversions). They're 41 EUR, 8,5 US, 7.5 UK. Just wanting to get the costs back so I can buy a pair that does fit me. £150. Been on my feet twice. Box has been ripped as designed to get them open.

Any interest?
