ALIEN Collectors Edition Book?

[DrProXX]

I was sitting on some Sideshow credit from a previous damaged item and decided to use it towards this.

The sculpt is very detailed. Heavy cover/book. Prolly around 15lbs. The teeth come off about 1.5 inches off the cover which gives it a nice 3D feel.

I'm gonna read through the book tonight. Here are a few pictures of the slipcover via iPhone.

Love the cover. I just thought the contents looked kind of weak.

It's a beautiful book and love the chromed teeth. Still, going for the signed by Ridley Scott Archive. I can't justify this book for this price, unless it was also signed.

Well, I just got this email update from Amazon in regards of The Weyland Yutani Report and it follows:

Can you tell me which one ? The same thing happened to me today too.

I *think* they may have taken the one book down, marked as unavailable, and re-listed it with a different hardcover.
You may need to re-order through amazon, but the release date seems to be April.
Searching 'Weyland Yutani Report' brings up this one:-

Amazon.com: Alien: The Weyland-Yutani Report (9781608878666): Stephani Danelle Perry, Markus Pansegrau, John R. Mullaney: Books

That is kind of poor, slight change and screw over people who had it on order.

The one Sideshow has with the Alien Cover by Stephani Perry. It's called The Weyland Yutani Report. I re-preordered again but now is $10 more so if between now and the release the price changes, amazon will either reimburse or let me know of the price change if it goes higher.

Got this beauty last week. As noted, the cover is a work of art, heavy and extremely detailed. The book is terrific - even includes material from Prometheus. Love the inserts. Figured it would make a nice centerpiece to my diorama.

Great display.

Is the collector's edition worth the $300 + price for the sculpted Alien cover on the front?? I can the regular book on Ebay for $35 and have all the contents of the book minus the cover.

my sentiments as well. May pickup that Alien: The archive book though.....

The price tag is highly subjective. Im a sucker for definitive editions and wanted the aesthetic of the slipcase for display in a larger diorama. But worth $325? Your can make the argument that none of what we buy is worth the exorbitant price tags which seem to grow exponentially year by year. Still, I bought it and don't regret the purchase.

 

[kroenen77]

Its always worth how much you like it!

For 200$ I would buy it also.

These things are always subjective. I personally buy a book for the content. I'd rather by the book for £20 and put the rest towards a statue to display. And I have, But each to their own.

Same here.
No way for me to spend extra £300 for the cover! I can get a proper statue out of it.

So I know this may be obvious to some but I found this book (non CE) for around $33.00 shipped on Ebay US:

I dont typically venture into this forum, but I am glad I did. Otherwise I would not have known about this book...

That's where I bought mine recently. I guess I was more curious of the content than the sculpted cover.

Seems to be mixed reviews on this, others love it while some seem to hate the lack of "new" content. I was going to pull the trigger at $30, but I may wait.

It's a decent book. I still don't think it's worth the price of the collector's edition. Worth the $30.
