Me too! I bought the Green one. I can't abide the brown. That is NOT what I saw on screen....no matter what they say!

I could've had the OD version and was tempted mainly because of the low edition number, but I went for screen accuracy all the way. I have it on good authority that all of the USCM hardware (PRs, Sentry Guns, APC, dropships, etc.) were painted in Brown Bess.
One of the clearest indications of how not-green the PR was can be seen during the scene where Hicks is showing Ripley how to operate it. Anyway, it really just boils down to a matter of personal choice, but if you want a SA prop replica, then I'd say the BB version is the way to go.

Good call Mudshark. It does seem to appear as a brown on screen.

I'd like to get this at some point and would go for the brown bess version anyways. It's good though that we've had the choice of either one.

I'd really like to get one of these, but...
Too much of a headache, plus I'd probably have to keep it in a gun safe - which would be stupid to say the least.

Sounds like a major nightmare, and the PR isn't even a replica of a "real" weapon! Besides that, it cannot chamber or fire any sort of projectile, so it's just a "non-functioning" prop replica. Some guys from the UK & other parts of Europe over at the AL forum are having similar headaches, but fortunately they've found a shop or two that will be importing a number of PRs. With any luck, maybe there's a shop somewhere in Australia that'll manage to import some, too.
But "Brown Bess" is certainly better than nothing, after all, isn't it? And besides, the OD green simply isn't screen accurate. It would be like getting Batman in a navy blue batsuit because it looked dark blue on film. Anyway, if you're dead set on a green one, you could just paint over the original color... problem solved!

New ETA is *January* (providing no further delays), so we have to wait just a little while longer... which is ok by my wallet.
January is fine with me, too. I sort of expected these to be released a little later than originally announced, but in this case I don't mind waiting a few weeks longer... I've already been waiting a couple of decades to own one of these babies!

well, i guess we are still waiting. sigh....
Yeah, but the good news is that some final refinements have been made, which should result in a much improved product we'll be getting. Hopefully these will begin shipping before summer arrives!

Man, that looks great, I canceled because it was taking so long, ordered the D9 Arc Generator instead but I do regret it a bit, its one hell of a iconic gun.
