This is the Quadrilogy set that is Region 3. So you'll either need a region free player or just upgrade your existing set to this great package like I did.

That's $119.90 American dollars plus $68 in Shipping. Not bad for an out-of-print set that's hard to find at a decent price.

Compare to: HMV.co.uk - 134.99 GBP = 268.003 USD + Shipping 37.00 GBP = 73.4508 USD Total: $341.45
Amazon.uk sellers: 145-269.99 GBP (287-535.98 USD)
DVDAsian - $199.01 (inc. Media Mail Ship) - this was also a good price.
E-Bay - $375 + 117 Shipping

Here's the Link if your're interested. Play-Asia indicates it's for a limited time only.

I can't stand the Quadrilogy box the movies came in. Mine fell apart in the first couple of months (glue gave out). I've always had my eye on this Alien Head so yeah it's still alot of money but it's cool as hell. Plus my just shipped today after ordering last night. Can't wait.

FangsFirst

Now you just need the Special Limited Edition Alien Torso DVD packaging!
(and then the Left Arm, Right Arm, Abdomen, Left Leg, Right Leg and Tail packaging...)

milleniumsmoker

I'm glad I bought mine before you guys came along. lol

Really? Providing a service to people, that's a bad?

A financially risky thing to do? Maybe, but probably not.

Douchebag move? Nope.

Before posting you should have atleast researched what was the one sold at the site you are referring at.

1st of all the image you used from skullface.com does not depict the Alien Head set sold at Play. The one pictured by skullface was the Japanese Alien Head ( the best crafted Alien Head set out there) that comes with an Alien Kubrick.

The one sold at play was the HK release made by Widesight Ent.

So the price you mentioned.. well its juts the price it meant to carry. In fact there are other sites that sells it cheaper than the one you mentioned

Again, please research further before sharing.

Peep

Since you've obviously done the research, why not go one step further and share it with us? Where can we find it cheaper and how much does it cost? And how about a link to a picture of the actual product?

What's worse? Somebody who acidentally shares a falsehood or somebody who knows the truth but won't share it?

Wildo1966

Please don't ask the MASTER to share his secrets....Him and only him can have the ultimate knowledge and only he knows everything.....If he says so it has to be the truth....

FangsFirst

I think there's a difference between "Hey I could hook a few people up with this using an R1 set instead and make a couple bucks." and
which is not about serving people but about trying to pull as much money as possible from people.

not to mention, buying 11 of them would be asinine, as that's rather rude to anyone else on this board who might've just wanted the darn thing if there's a limited supply.

elektrohog

if you guys don't cut it out my neo bust is gonna "whoa" all of you...
and my planet of the apes head is gonna...gonna...poop on you!
there!

FangsFirst

We should find a way to COMBINE THEM!

Sorry it was my bad that I didn't specify which version the Alien Head was. But here's the scoop: From what I can find, the Head itself is the same regardless whether you buy Region 2 or 3. Yes the "Japanese version" has the Alien Kubrick and I think a booklet and of course the movies.

I only care about the Alien Head. I already have the region 1 movies and all I'm going to do is take them out of that horrid digi-pack foldout and place then in the head. I would much rather spend less than $200 (inc ship) than over $400 for the Japanese version just to get the Kubrick and the booklet. The picture posted was only to be representative of the Alien Head, not what was available in the entire package.

This is not a usual purchase for me. Mostly I buy "off the shelf/internet" for the standard release/special edition. I find that most of the movie editions that come with special packaging are crappy in Region 1.

So please don't shoot the messenger. I was only trying to make people aware of what is out there and if someone can find either a better deal or set to purchase, please share. This is the purpose of the forum since we're all movie/dvd nuts. So if I offended anyone's view of what should be represented, that was not my intent.

Here is the new set up...

Alien Head (region 2) Vs. Planet of the Apes Head (Region 1)

good job tjn007!

professional and stand-up responses are much welcome in these sometimes chaotic threads

Abob Teff

I think the OP needs to be shot -- when my set arrived I gleefully ripped open the package and cracked open the head -- the OP did not bother to warn us about the ACID BLOOD INSIDE! Now I'm typing this with one hand (and not the good manner).

Oh well, at least I fared better than my neighbor . . . he ordered the R4 Facehugger version . . . it jumped right of the box and latched onto his face. It's OK though, it just fell off after a couple of days . . . <cue ominous music>

Welcome to America. That is Capatilism. No need to bust the guys chops. He is just open and honest about what many many others are doing. Dont sweat it to much, they wont make a lot of money.

Some idiot on ebay will drag the market down by marking it up a few bucks over what he paid. He would rather work for himself for minimum wage than McDonalds.

FangsFirst

Yeah, it's capitalism, and I didn't bust his chops, merely contesting the claim that he was "providing a service" (and that it wasn't a "douchebag move").

Not really providing a service to take advantage of people.
Admittedly, they might perceive it as such if they aren't aware of the original source, but "empirically" it isn't.
It's how it is, but that doesn't make it nice. It's whether you ACCEPT these things, not that they are suddenly nice because "that's how it is."

(I do accept them, on some level, but disagreed with the virulence directed at the virulent response to that claim)

Living Dead

That's some funny shit. Thanks for the laugh.

I was dying to get one of these things when they came out, but I wasn't region free then. And $200 is still a hefty chunk of change.
