The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

I have 9212 as well, but I admit I got a little confused.
So to help people out:

OD Version x 250

BB Version x 1000

A question for anyone who might know the answer:

In HGC's text for this replica, they list one of the features as a "Moving 'Grenade Launcher' pump handle."

It's a little hard to tell from the description, but to me this wording suggests that the GL handle simply moves forward and backward, rather than "pumping."

Can anyone with knowledge of the replica confirm or deny this?

Either way, it hasn't stopped me from ordering. :mrgreen:

Hey Gary! From the pics you can see the the shotgun "bolt" moves back in some shots. I dont know if this will make into the production version or not.

Hi, Christian!

Thanks for your response.

What I'm really wondering is whether there's a "pump action" when the handle is pulled back -- whether there's a feeling of spring-loaded resistance, a satisfying "ch-CHIK" sound, whether the pump can be "racked." I don't expect anything can be chambered, but I was hoping the pump handle might do more than simply slide forward and backward. :mrgreen:

If they offered just the shroud for purchase...regardless of cost, they would have a sale right here. I would kill for aluminum shrouds and I wonder how easy it would be to remove them from the PR and just ditch the rest of it (I already have everything else hero so I don't need the rest of it).

In those pics it looks like the Thompson receiver is part of the shroud! I hope that is just a prototype. Or maybe that would be cool as there would be more metal on this.

I wonder if the Thompson bolt racks as well - or is it just a back and forth thing.

Not without the relevant documentation it wouldn't, unless they missed it.

Only £19,000. Bargain! ;)

Seriously, I'll be watching this with interest. Does anyone know what the actual Propstore price will be?

The only thing I'm concerned about is the function of the grenade launcher section; judging by the photos it appears to have some kind of moving bolt, but whether I keep this or not depends entirely on the working of the action producing a satisfying 'clunk-click' as per one with an Airsoft / de-act M870 in it.
