    I was 11 when I saw the original, in the the theater, in 1979. I talked my parents into it for weeks before it opened. "It's just a movie," I told them. "I'll be fine," I told them. "I'm ready for R ratings," I told them.... Yeah.... Jump-cut to me, after the chest-burster does its thing, spending half of the next hour in the f***ing lobby, quivering and pissing my pants. Literally did not sleep from 1979 to 1981.

      The Universal Studios version of the Frankenstein Monster (flat head, bolts in the neck) is easily more iconic. Versions of have been showing up in movies, TV, comics, and animation for over 90 years. I'd argue that the Creature from the Black Lagoon is at least as iconic as the Xenomorph/Alien. Again, it's been in all sorts of media since it was introduced in the 50s.

      Yeah I'm kind of pissed about a part of that. The guys who restored the Nostromo mentioned that it had been left out in the elements for 20 years and had a lot of water warpage. About 10 years ago I was on a forum and someone posted the derelict ship and it was in poor shape as well. Don't know what happened to that. >:(

      The Sulaco is just a troop ship, and probably not very valuable. When the landing boats hit Normandy beach, the landing boats were left empty on the shore. There are multiple ways to get back to the Sulaco - the dropship that brings you, and a second dropship that can come down. If the Sulaco is left uninhabited in orbit for a set period of time, the ship is probably programmed to return to its point of origin.

      Agreed, a lot of these props will deteriorate if not stored in a temperature controlled environment under glass.
