This close to crying

So today I finally saw an Alien statue that I believe is worth buying.  And then I see the price.  So now that I've finished crying for the past few hours I'm now at the rage part.  This is so not fair!  I'm a massive Alien whore and been looking for a good statue for years.  One comes along and BOOM $800 price tag.  Mind you it is 28" tall, but still.  Sideshow always have expensive stuff.  Buying it now would probably not be the best of moves since my job ends next week.  What a perfect time for the perfect statue to finally come along.  If only I was making thousands from advertising and ripping people off for donations.  So heres a few pictures!






My most favourite films ever, Aliens being my number 1 of all time.  How I love it and the creature.  Off to cry some more.

  3. Its a limited statue and with these theres always a massive chance it'll sell out in the first month and then thats it. Tears for life.

  6. "If only I was making thousands from advertising and ripping people off for donations."
    LOL, THAT is obviously a reference to Austin. (seriously, HOW DID HE GET AWAY WITH THAT, AND NOT HAVE MANY PEOPLE GET SUSPICIOUS?!) Whatever, i'm done with Austin and I'm sticking with you two.

  7. Usually with these ebay is never good. Once they sell out they end up selling for more. There was an amazin alien Queen statue a while back, was well over $1000. Now if you see it for sale anywhere its over 2 grand. Basically ignore that it exists...

  10. Jeez, you've been a baby during all this Austin crap.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I've been a baby? I'm not the one making pleas with sob stories. I've done nothing but answer questions that people have asked, because I actually enjoy replying to questions, something austin refuses to do. Majority of people think I dont play with him because I work all the time. You know how frustrating that is? Since my long reply post about why I dont play with him went up a couple months back or so, I've only offhandedly mentioned him once since and that was today. Yeah, I'm the baby. If you even knew only half of what I cant say you wouldnt even be up there defending him by calling me a baby. And no, I'm not talking about how he is in-game. You're better off donating money to him then coming here and bugging me. And if you think I'm the only one who feels like this you're sadly mistaken. I'm just the only one who has guts enough to say anything.

  12. I'd hate doing it (because he's kind-of childish), but my old art teacher used to do commissions for companies creating models. Tiny, but...very detailed. Large statues are lovely, yes, but to see a perfect quality small figurine...it's not common. Most people half-ass it. I could ask him if you could commission him xD I know people that know his number.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Thats a pretty awesome skill have. Did he ever make a site to show off some of his creations?

    ReplyDelete
  14. I honestly would have to ask him to e-mail me some photos. I know he has some, but google says squat.

  15. con, yuo should try to make an incentive to have people donate, like donate and you will mention their youtube channel, or website or something

    ReplyDelete
  16. Nah I'd feel weird accepting donations. That button up there is just to amuse myself, hence the comment above it.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow 2 grand on e-bay, geez that website can be a big rip-off sometimes

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  19. I for one Support the eCONomy with a donation...
    a donation of Hope...
    Hope of some funny punchline but i have none so this'll do :)

    But that Statue is pretty amazing, you won't believe the money I've spent to complete my Batman DVD Collection.
    Hell, I've wasted 150$ in One Hour because I found all these Batman Box sets XD
    so yes, I do know the feeling of "Collector's Urge"

  20. I must say, the only reason I'd move to Florida would be to hunt down Dexter (serial killer on a tv show, lol). Sigh. At some point somewhere I am hopeful you can tell everyone everything that happened.

  21. Oh come on guys. Let's not make this into a "Bash Austin" title. Beating a dead horse if you ask me.

    Anyway, I'd like to take a moment to point out how much I love that statue. You'd think they'd half-ass the ridges and the tail, but they really came through. It's a shame it's so pricy though, as it really is quality work.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yeah I was really impressed with the amount of detail they put in this. My jaw dropped when I saw it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Con, you look like the vampire from that new movie Fright Night

    ReplyDelete
  24. I haven't checked the new one yet. I remember seeing the original though. Heaps fun movie. Hope they don't screw up the remake.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Completely unrelated to this post but I dunno how to contact you otherwise, but I tore this comic out of a newspaper a while back (image from the internet) and figured it suited you:

  26. lol. Anyone that wants to message me can send me a PM over on youtube. Thats the easiest way.

    ReplyDelete
  27. One becomes a bit wary of that around people with a large number of fans :P

    ReplyDelete
  28. Nah not me. I actually get a kick from all the messages I get. Lots of fun.

    ReplyDelete
  29. i guess he finally took you off his youtube friends list or whatever which sucks cause that was how i could get to your channel without going through my subs :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh, no. When I remove him it auto removes me from his list too. I'd rather not be listed there. Most people don't even know I'm there to begin with so no major loss.

    ReplyDelete
  31. awww well i guess its unavoidable and all but i still like to visit your channel often :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Aww. I found you because he mentioned you had a blog in one of his videos. Don't recall which one though.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yeah most people don't know how to find me despite being in his friends list so no big deal. That's why everyone still thinks I don't play with them because I'm working.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think its also because people prefer that to what actually happened Con.

    ReplyDelete
  35. If the idiot actually replied to comments then people wouldnt keep asking it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Because people like knowing, and will continue to want to know everything that happened. It's his choice whether he wants to talk about it or not. Judging on how you think of him now, I'm guessing its better he doesn't talk least things get worse
