I bought mine for $400 of eBay.. ToyRocket I think is the name.. They had tons of them back in the days and quite a few guys that I know paid that same price. It's still available at SS for retail. It's a nice, little piece, but $1000 is a bit too much.

I paid retail for mine back when this was first released.
Now I believe you can pick this up for less then half the cost.

It's a beautiful bust.

Hello people. Does anyone have a clue what these go for now. Got a dude from China offering me £800 for mine.

Thanks.

They rarely come up in the UK, I replied to the other thread you posted in. But in summary, I'd probably take that if you can get it, the last one I heard of was brand new and technically went for £500 (two for £1k in reality) although that was a good deal. Bare in mind, the future of Alien collectibles just became very bright with both Prime 1 and Coolprops entering the mix. The market may saturate a bit in the coming year or two. It may not affect the price of your bust given it has the pedigree of an H.R Giger signature, but it might reduce the amount of potential customers with the money...


I so wish I'd bought this one back in the day when they were around for $400...
