I completely lucked out this morning at the flea market and picked up this (currently empty) box for the ever awesome Alien target set.
Now, I've been aware of this set for forever, but never really made myself learn much about it as it always seemed to be an out-of-my-league style piece.
Looking into it today, it seems there is/was an early run variation that I never knew of that came with a dart gun instead of a ball gun.
So far the only info I'm finding is a very... ambitiously priced listing on ebay from a seller calling it a prototype, and a few other people parroting similar info w/o stating any other source.
They guy I got it from tells me he might still have the Alien standee, but knows for sure that he doesn't have the gun. I'm checking in with him about it later in the week, but not holding my breath.
As it stands, I have the outer box, cardboard insert, and the instruction sheet.
Any hardcore ALIEN or HG Toys collectors out there that might have some solid info on this version?
Figured I'd share it here regardless.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
