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!

Yeah - it looks like those links are from a particular log-in. Is this the same powerloader that was featured here?

The links do work for me, so I slapped this together quick.

The left is the original release (in stock now at various places on line)
The "more accurate" new version for Gamestop appears to have changed the color pattern to a brighter yellow with a little less weathering overall?

But essentially it's still the same tooling for the mould is that what you see?

Yep, that is what I see.
These guys re-released their APC with new paint recently as well. They did toss in a fire effect for the tire, but it was otherwise they exact same tooling there too.

These guys are picking up some traits from NECA. Repaint then re-release.

Love the new color nd the "new" pricetag. These have been going for 80-100 on feebay. If I see one at Gamestop it's mine, otherwise I'd use the money toward a Neca loader. I suspect they'll include an item with this thing like maybe half of bishop or a crushed alien head, like how the new APC includes the fire piece.
