First Look: Alien Anthology Sideshow Collectible - Page 5

Got my Region 2 release today. Didn't have a look yet...

Has anyone received this from FoxConnect yet? I placed my order back in July and paid extra for expedited shipping so I was thinking it would arrive on or near the street date but so far I have heard nothing from FoxConnect and my card has yet to be charged (aside from the rather unfortunate incident with a charge approval back in July).  Perhaps I'm just being impatient or perhaps I've been spoiled by the prompt shipments I typically receive from Amazon, even using their free shipping option. 

I've not yet contacted FoxConnect for a status update but will do so tonight when I have access to my order number (I foolishly selected the "Check Out as Guest" option, thinking it would reduce the amount of spam I would receive so I can now not check my order status without e-mailing them).  Again, maybe it's just me being impatient.

I ordered mine through Google check-out. Got a shipping confirmation e-mail last Friday but no tracking number.

I called Foxconnect yesterday and got a UPS tracking number. I just checked earlier and it shows out for delivery. Can't wait. I would call Foxconnect for a status on you order if I was you. Doesn't sound like your order has even shipped out. I hope I am wrong.

Speak of the devil!  Not 30 minutes after my previous post, I received my package from FoxConnect. 

How very strange that they haven't yet charged me for it...

But hooray!  It's here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats. Mine probably wont arrive until about 6:00 pm tonight.( Plus I have to work the evening shift. It's ok though. Gives me something to look forward too when I get off.

It's here it's here

Mine arrived today.  I would love to see Space Jockey's.

The set also comes with a $50 gift card for sideshowcollectibles.com. Nice touch.

I ordered mine from the Fox booth at Comic-Con - it did not arrive today, but I have my alien fingers crossed that it will be here tomorrow. I couldn't check my order online at FoxConnect since I did not order through the site, but as they say, keep hope alive!

Mine arrived today too.  The egg looks great, but I am disappointed that the discs are packed in an according style box and not the package that the standard set comes in.  I suppose this is because that package is probably too big to fit into the egg.  I'm no fan of accordion style boxes, but I like  the  egg.

This is a busy time for me and will probably not watch any of the movies till after Halloween.  I did Watch Alien through when Brett meets the Alien.  When the opening credits came up, I went "Ooh, that looks  good."  Great image quality and I was taking particular note of the color and clarity in the last scenes I watched while Brett was searching for Jonesy.  The skin tones on Brett's face were superb.

Johnny,

I am sorely tempted to put the discs in a multi-case for Blu-rays for simple ease of access and leave the original

packaging inside the base of the egg.  But, I do love the egg.

Say, is Mickey about to slug the Alien?

Let us know if you find a good case for all the discs and one that will hold the documentation too.  Of course you'll have to make custom art for it, won't you?

BTW, I thought earlier photos indicated that much of the egg glowed when  lit, but in mine it  is bright only where the egg "opens" at the top.  There is only a very minor  glow outside of that area.  I was surprised it came preloaded with a battery and that it requires a screwdriver to open the battery case.
 

Johnny,

I actually REALLY like that it glows the most where the egg would open.  Makes it seem less "night lite" like to me.

For Blu-ray cases,

I have ordered from this vendor in the past

("Thanks!" to a fellow HTFer who originally posting about them when DVD multi-cases were hard to come by.),

and I am sure I will be quite happy with these:

It doesn't look like it will have a good option for the documentation (It does have a clip, but

it would also cover the first Blu-ray disc in the process.), but I will leave the documents inside the egg as well.

As for custom art, well, not my forte', but I will probably come up with something though I hope someone, anyone, beats me to it. 

Hey guys.. it's been a while since I've been on here.. got my Egg on Tuesday the 26th with the count number of 2400/5000.  I will do my best to post pictures of the egg in the case I made very soon but the two look wonderful! it seems like they came from the same place lol..

Well, alright!  We're waiting
