I remember wanting one of these in the worst way when I was a kid, but mom said no way, that it'll give me nightmares....but I tried to explain to her that it didn't matter because it was ALREADY giving me nightmares!

My first encounter with the Alien was at my friends 10th birthday party. His pop was a major videophile and tech freak and he had a ginormous video cassette deck. Not sure if it was beta or a 3/4" tape deck, but I do remember it was a top loader and took up most of the space on top of their massive wood console tv.

I am not sure our parents were asked about this movie or not, but after the cake and presents and such, we all plopped down in front of the tube and were presented with a bootleg copy of Alien. I seem to recall the dad hustling it past the chest-burster scene; but we were left with the rest of the spooky chase and that glorious reveal at the end. Heckofa birthday party.

Think this is too much?

Dome is cracked. I don't see the poster either.

Dont worry guys....If you buy one missing the poster/instructions, I sell copies (both sides) for 5.00 each.

I remember seeing these on clearance for $9.99 in a Zellers flyer. I begged my mom to take me to the store so I could buy one, but she just said that I was too old to be spending money on toys (I was around 13). I've made sure to never let her forget that story, and to keep her posted on current selling prices of this toy.

Zellers is where I got mine.

Wow....After months of trying to access this site I FINALLY can get in! This is great! I had one as a kid. It used to terrify my father´s girlfriend so she had it arranged that when we moved that we left it behind....
