After reading some forums that mentioned this item I am revising my listing. This item was placed by my brother while i was on holiday and he missed some very important info. I have also changed the photo which was genuine. I can't say how I came by these (I have two) but these are not for sale. This is a pre-order auction as the item is released in Japan in April. I have four on order for other people and one that's up for grabs. I will not ask for any money until I recieve the item and I will send dated digital photos of the item to the winning bidder. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING UNTIL I GET THE ITEM. Happy Bidding Any questions answered!!

There's something fishy about his 'explanation' (his brother placed items for sale on his account? and this of an item thousands are trying to get their hands on without luck, and he already has two but can't reveal how he got them? lol), just like the picture was fake.
Oh well, he pulled the plug on the auction: "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale." Guess it was getting a little too hot for comfort ripping people off.

I'd say the fan base is smaller, BUT more insane than their respective counterparts in other parts of the world. They put much much more into something they like.

ok so how do I get one? amazonJP seems to be out of stock..
Anyone else think fox might make more of the heads since people like us will spend around 300$ for it. How much does it cost FOX to make them?
You know an ALIEN QUEEN HEAD would really be sweet!

darmok: Fox Japan has just put up the official website for this Alien release (http://www.foxjapan.com/dvd-video/alienus/), where you can also find all specs. It does state all films have DTS (even explicitly says "special for Japan"), however I can't find any reference to the audio commentaries so that might be a reason to hold on to your R1 set after all.
VicVega: you don't, sold out all over the place and I doubt Fox will make more. Japan is renowned for its quirky box sets with ridiculous prices and very high collectability rate (ie. very very limited, sometimes even as few as 1500).

Too bad the delay isn't because they decided to make a few more and put it up for preorder again. I'm still kicking myself for missing out on this.

HMV's listing for the non-alien-head version of the Quadrilogy box seems to imply that the discs will have commentaries:
http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail.asp?sku=1892042
"An additional four discs contain new detailed commentaries, interviews, multi-angle anamatics, pre-production, production and post production featurettes, 252 pages of Stan Winston's fascinating workshop, screenplays and intriguing easter eggs."
I wish someone could confirm.
