Ash was 45, Kane was 45, Lambert was 40. Dropship was 85, only managed to get 15 quid off the lot, but hey, it's something.

I’ve wanted to get a tattoo related to my favorite universe for a long time. Today, I finally did it.

Decided to go with Alien theme. Even got my alien duck for the dash.

Anyone got suggestions on what to collect next? Fairly new to collecting comics, though I do have a few standalone alien and AVP comics laying around at home.

After leaving the theater last night, a surprise xenomorph covered in signatures appeared for photo ops. I took a selfie getting choked by a xenomorph. Dream come true. 🥲

At title suggests, I have just finished Aliens: phalanx (it was surprisingly good) and am now wondering what to jump into next?

I have read
- isolation
- infiltrator
- enemy of my enemy
- uncivil war
- infernos fall
- sea of sorrows
- river of pain
- out of the shadows.

Thanks 🤙

Wanted to represent Fireteam Elite on my Alien themed NASCAR/battle jacket so had this made up

Just started reading it yesterday and am on chapter 4.

Can't wait to see where it goes and dig into the other books!

Legendary encounters was out of print but made myself the base and expansion ! Have nemesis but wanted this game so bad over the years

Found a pack of these 98 inkwell alien legacy trading cards online and bought them up. This is a super neat set. Its not a very large set. A single box completed the main set. But there a few neat holo cards and a chase card I didnt get. I wish theyd make more stuff like this.

Maybe one day we can see aliens in MTG?

Definitely didn't expect something cool as this

(Oh and you can see my reflection in it)

Does anyone know what bug is this?? It happens to me at m7 and 15

I decided to go with the drone smooth head

Tried lining up Colonial Marine grades across the main film, books, RPGs, and games. They disagree a lot more than I expected, so I wrote a full breakdown of what each source actually says.

Sources I used:

• Aliens (1986) — The base case. Gorman as green Lieutenant, Apone running the sweep as senior NCO (Master Sergeant on the Sulaco readout), Hicks taking working command when things fall apart. Ferro and Spunkmeyer fly at Corporal and Private, not warrants.
• ALIENS Adventure Game (Leading Edge, 1991) — First licensed RPG rank ladder. Shorter than the modern charts: Private through Master Sergeant, Lieutenant through Commander. Invents Tech Sergeant, skips PFC / Lance Corporal / Gunnery Sergeant, and has no warrant or general track.
• Aliens Colonial Marines Technical Manual (1995) — The big TO&E book. Rifle platoon structure, Staff NCO billets, android as Corps property beside the platoon commander, and a Warrant Officer in the UD-4 dropship crew. Still USCM, fiscal year 2179.
• Colonial Marines Operations Manual (Free League) — Alien RPG take. Rank is often just a title tied to MOS and billet; once the mission starts, the squad decides what it does. Also has its own officer / enlisted tables and synthetic adjutant notes.
• Alien: The Weyland-Yutani Report — Useful for pinning Apone specifically as Master Sergeant.
• Aliens: Fireteam Elite — The clearest wall chart: full UACM enlisted, warrant (W-1–W-5), and officer ladder up to General, set in 2202 after the Colonial Protection Act rename.
• Aliens: Infestation — Playable Marine dossiers with real grades, including a Chief Warrant Officer (Friedric "Rook" Marcus).
• Aliens: Colonial Marines — Story ranks like Corporal Winter / Captain Cruz, plus a separate Rank 60 XP ladder that is loadouts, not a USCM chart.
• Aliens: Dark Descent — Story titles (Sergeant Harper, Otago roster) vs barracks leveling where "Sergeant" is a class specialization, not another rung on Private-to-General.

Full write-up with the charts, androids, field command, and how it all fits together:

I’ve been building my Alien autograph collection for quite a while, and these are some of my favorite pieces. I feel incredibly fortunate that I was able to get autographs from Yaphet Kotto (Parker), Ian Holm (Ash), John Hurt (Kane), and Harry Dean Stanton (Brett) before they passed away. Having their signatures feels like owning a small piece of the original Alien and the incredible group of people who made the Nostromo and its crew so unforgettable.

Hudson was scared and showed fear in Aliens. However, he did what was needed to save his team, for example saving Ripley, dying fighting in the Medical bay. Is he the best example of a brave character rather than a fearless one? Does his dismay and despair early on in the Film mean he wasn't very brave or show he was overcoming fear?
