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!

So I've decided to set aside my Longshot for a bit. I love her, but just want something... heavier.

I went to Target and 'Lo! What did I see? For $20 the Nerf Titan missile launcher. This was previously available as a TRU exclusive with a small pistol and rifley thing that clipped on in an ugly fashion for $40. But this is a Target exclusive and without the 2 other pieces.

Went to Lowe's yesterday. Found a 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe that fits perfectly on it. Going to Home Depot today for some more pieces to complete this bad boy. I'm thinking a round barrel with many smaller barrels around it in minigun fashion.

Will post pics later.

It's my addiction...

Sadly if you figure my $40 Longshot, $20 Recon, and $20 Titan I just got I would be $80 close to a "real" USCM gun like a Spulse.

So I was heading to Home Depot to go look at pieces to modify the toy... I stopped off at Kmart first. Found this on clearance for only $5. Very reminiscent of the "Arrow tube" used for Dom's rocket launcher except it is completely round. Apparently it's used to pick up (and store) baseballs.

The tube is about 25 1/2 inches long. The end that picks up the balls has rubber around the lip, further adding to the look of a rpg launcher.

So wondering if I should put the whole length at the front of the Nerf to make a big long gun looking mamajama, or to add only some to the front, and add the rest to the rear to make a big on the shoulder launcher.
