So....we're not talking about xenomorphs?Chiclo wrote: Wed Jul 26, 2023 7:56 am I had not heard of Alien until this announcement.
I am optimistic every time there has been a change at Valiant ever since the DMG takeover. I was excited when they brought in Heather Antos. I was excited when they replaced her. This time will be different!
Maybe this time it really will be different.
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?
