I've worked as a 3D artist for architectural projects for many years, some video games and movies too, and I can only imagine the amount of work, time and care necessary to put this book together... even though it looks like we have a LOT of time, we do need as much as we possibly can have because well, this kind of detailed and thought through art takes a LOT of time to create, iterate and refine! Productions are usually very hectic, the way this team gathered so many drawings and recreated them all following the same style for the book... I mean, of course there is a lot of greeble on the panels as usual, but it looks like every single vehicle and structure has details that will probably be confirmed if you watch the films. Again, so much care, so much time spent... that is really an incredible work of art for so many reasons... Great aquisition, man!
I'm tickled pink as well. I'm so glad that you covered this book. I was debating picking it up and I think you just push me over the edge toward buying it. Thank you for this
It would be sacrilege to cut that book up but I would love to frame up those blue prints and dec the house out with them, a true work of art. Thank you for showing this.
Hi, great video, thanks for the flip through. I have a question: How much of the Alien 3 penal colony layout is actually in the book? Thank you and keep up the good work.
I did Amazon Flex, everytime I went in the warehouses, it felt like "The Company" from Aliens. And they'll send you out to middle of nowhere on company orders, lol.
It makes me happy just to see that there are other fans of the franchise as much as me.we all need to go find a lv426 and build a our on Hadley's hope and every Sunday we go to Ripley's church god damnit
I was considering getting this, since I have ALIEN: THE VAULT and the Illustrated Screenplay for ALIENS, as well as the large softcover photonovel of ALIEN. Was wondering just how thorough it was...well, now, thank you for uploading this. You've just yanked more out of my account.
40 years since it all started and it still grips us and interests us...Not many things that can be as gripping as this.. It really, all them years of flight and most of us are still wondering how the bloody hell the queen managed to get on the drop ship... And there has never been anything like it since .. Summet wrong there.
I also bought this book and enjoyed it. It is very interesting to look back at the scenes from the movie while looking at the map of the Nostromo ship. One thing I would like to hear your opinions on. At the end of "Alien" when Ripley is heading to the escape boat, it looks like she is turning left down the passageway. Looking at the map in the book, wouldn't it be the starboard side of the Salmakis that she can turn left and proceed to board? It would be interesting if what we thought was Narcissus for decades was Salmacis!
It seems the flow of your videos has slowed down quite a bit. It's always great to get more content from you! This is BY FAR the best Alien series channel on TH-cam IMHO! I'd say if you're pressed for time or content why not do some more Live streams? I think you've only done one and it was during the 40th Anniversary. I really liked the style and atmosphere you gave during it! I think it's just fun when you answer questions and interact with us! Always a good time just shooting the shit about anything Alien related!
A lot of it is due to the construction I mentioned in this video which has made it difficult to manage time recording. It’s very loud and distracting and has been going on since April. There’s a lot more I’ve been wanting to do but it’s been hard working around it so lately I’ve been working on longer videos that take more time to edit together. But I figure being able to get out 2 videos in September that have been close to an hour long is a decent enough compromise over getting out new, shorter videos over a series of a few days. I’m really looking forward to winter actually, lol. There will be more stuff. I’ve been aching to do a livestream of the game Alien Trilogy which would be a lot of fun. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, I hope the flow slow-down isn’t seen as taking the channel for granted or lack of interest...very much the opposite! It’s just been a nightmare with bulldozers and jackhammers and trucks and poor time management around it. But Alien Theory isn’t going anywhere and I have plenty planned, hope to see you there! 😁
Would have been nice to see Sevastapol station. Isn't Isolation considered canon? I was so terrified playing that game that I could never quite get my bearings of the entire station's layout.
Looks cool. Two things that are missing from the book though, in my opinion. Bishop - he was designated part of the Sulaco rather than a member of the crew, and also the ship carrying Bishop 2 from the end of Alien 3 that comes to pick Ripley up. Maybe Im being a teeny bit picky though, lol. It looks very cool and thorough, I might check it out myself. :o)
I wonder if those Nostromo blue prints are from a user on AVP forum by the name of “Space Jockey”. When working on the BPs, I suggested putting another escape shuttle under the other wing for symmetry, and name it Salmacis. The band Genesis did a song on the Greek character, who was condemned to become a hermaphrodite after drinking from a forbidden spring. The idea was that the shuttle was unusable as it fused to the “garage” due to an accident akin to the electrical meteor storm from DARK STAR
Absolutely love this channel. Also This makes me think that the light we see at the very end is just infact the Torrens coming around to pick Amanda up. Also before anyone points out the IGN mini series using game footage, we already know that it isn't cannon and was made basically for fun. Also not to mention IGN not giving this game a good review so don't really take onboard their version of events. What are your thoughts about this??
Viene en una caja hermosa, rígida y segura, sin embargo una de las esquinas del libro está golpeada. Personalmente me pone muy nervioso. Excelente review. Muchas gracias!
I would have totally returned it with that damage. One has to keep in mind that these things could be worth a lot in 20 years. To accept a damaged item, is to immediately destroy its potential value in the future. Then you're kicking yourself in the butt 20 years later when people are selling stuff for thousands of dollars, and yours is worth only a fraction of that.

Maybe it doesn't count views until you click away... And people like before or while watching..."Likes" conversely register instantly...? Thumbs up if you support this hypothesis.
Looks like crap to me, most of this stuff is available on net for free. I noticed as you are flicking through the book that the more interesting stuff which info is not available on the internet or is very sparse is also not available in the book, like detailed plans and blueprints for the refinary and the derelict ship which pretty much makes this book a waste of money.

Thank you for this
Remember short controlled bursts.
Game over man
Stay frosty!.....
"Yea man.... its the dry heat!"
"What the hell are we supposed to use, harsh language?"
"....man this is one big f*%# signal!"
It would be sacrilege to cut that book up but I would love to frame up those blue prints and dec the house out with them, a true work of art. Thank you for showing this.
There’s always colored copies... No need to destroy a copy of this book. You savage!
Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards.
How about we make a campfire, sing a couple of songs?
@@purefoldnz3070 right....
Just ordered this. Looks amazing.
Have you received the book yet? If so what do you think?
@@steviehope7718 should be here in couple days hopefully. I will let you know
They mostly come out at night, mostly.
Right....
I LOVE this book. I poured over it for over an hour the day I got it. Very well done.
Man, this got my heart pounding. That looks amazing!
Thanks for posting I'll be ordering one for myself
right...
Why don't you freeze it?
!
How come He doesn't freeze it?
I'm surprised he didn't freeze him considering his hidden agenda.
Would have been the end of earth a lot sooner
Let’s talk about the Amazon Prime Bonus Situation.....
This is a most impressive compilation . Aw man. I saw aliens at the movies when I was 12 and I have been a fan ever since. I may buy this soon.
looks sweet! thanks! i'd contact Amazon about the damage to the front corner, they are usually good about replacing!
Oh yes just got my copy just now. Awesome book. Gonna be going over every inch of every vessel for hours. Love this kind of stuff
Hi, great video, thanks for the flip through. I have a question: How much of the Alien 3 penal colony layout is actually in the book? Thank you and keep up the good work.
Are you turning two pages at a time ?? Looks like the pages are stuck together with some green tape as you are turning to the next page 🤔
Love the content! Up vote for more reviews/showcasing Alien and/or Predator pieces!
Snagging that asap! way more detailed than I wouldve thought! thanks for the preview!
oh my, isn't Amazon like Walmart and therefor like weyland yutani? idk
Yeah, but will they screw over their own for a percentage?
I did Amazon Flex, everytime I went in the warehouses, it felt like "The Company" from Aliens. And they'll send you out to middle of nowhere on company orders, lol.
Remarkable ! I mean it’s like everything was existing for real. My drawing of the beast in the picture.
Your pleasure is palpable, that’s an incredible book-I think I’m gonna snag it up as well.
This reminds me of the ships deck blueprints we had in our damage control repair lockers during my Navy days. So detailed, quite impressive. 👌
Please make a presentation about the Sulaco as with the Nostromo with the technical specifications. It's really impressive!
I just ordered mine today!!
Looks awesome
Wow, this is gorgeous!
It makes me happy just to see that there are other fans of the franchise as much as me.we all need to go find a lv426 and build a our on Hadley's hope and every Sunday we go to Ripley's church god damnit

Man that's so cool! Also I nearly had a heart attack because I read the Canadian price as $99.99 instead of $59.99.
34.53 now on Amazon
I purchased that book shortly after this video was posted. Outstanding.
Very nice book i love the alien movies great details on the ships
I just got this book last week, love it.
The details are so amazing.
Blasted. I just ordered mine and I'll have to wait until 2020! 0:21
I ordered this at the SE time as "alien covenant: David's drawings" and got to watch both unboxings to whet my appetite while they were in the post 😃

Last thing I got delivered from Amazon was toilet rolls 🤔
More Earth wars !! Deep joy !!!
the Nostromo is probably the most well designed and detailed spaceship interior I have ever seen
Btw I enjoy your content on the lore as well. Cheers and stay healthy. 😁
Hahahaha Bay 12 please

Very very cool
Do they offer a PDF download with this book?
I like it how Amazon puts big books into empty boxes without any protection.

The neca stuff is incredible.
Great pick up.
You said you found this on Amazon I need to look

Cool
What was on the alien3 penal colony fold-out specific page?
I wonder if those Nostromo blue prints are from a user on AVP forum by the name of “Space Jockey”.

Cool man!
With the Alien RPG coming out soon, I have to say this book is a GODSEND for someone trying to, say, do a What If version of the movies!
Oh wow can't wait till the next earth war vid. Thanks for the heads up on that. I'm tickled pink ;)
freaking amazing!!
Is that an "Ice" letter opener?
Absolutely love this channel.
Also

What are your thoughts about this??
Since when was the refinery called Cygnus?
Nice!!!
I want that xeno queen
"Hello everyone, allow me to introduce myself... my name is Nigel and I.... (coughs nervously) am a... Geek" I have to order this book. 🏆
Cool. When's Prosperity Wells pt 2?
Yay! Was thinking when you're going to upload next vid... and here it is... another video... Regards AT!
Edit: Most important message 8:29 👍
Now someone can re-create the Nostromo in Minecraft.
:)
You'll like it - th-cam.com/video/ca3eYxZedD4/w-d-xo.html
You should do a video about your an alien figure, or why the avp movie gave us the queen we always wanted
Viene en una caja hermosa, rígida y segura, sin embargo una de las esquinas del libro está golpeada. Personalmente me pone muy nervioso. Excelente review. Muchas gracias!
Is very beautiful! I need!!!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Waiting for more
I was expecting this to be in the £35 ballpark but it's only £20.... Might have to get a copy.
3:46 I think that might be a misprint. Shouldn't it be "Daihotai tractor"? That's how the internet tells me it's spelled.
What are the dimensions of the book?
Why choose when you can have both? 😉
Dope !
I'm drooling 🤤
i need this book
When you opened the box it made a cracking sound not unlike Kane's ribs in the chestburster scene.
I got one and all the pages are upside down from left to right so I have to turn the book around to read it lmao.
Noooo! Gash on the corner! The whole book is spoiled. You should buy another one, give me that one ;o)
Lol :)
*Ripley:* Must sumthing in. The plans sumthing we missed I dunno" .. Hicks.
We didnt miss nothing ..Vazquez talk too me almost done"
Should of got two, one to put away for a long time it'll be worth money in the future (57years)....👽🎥

You sound EXACTLY like Holden from Mindhunter
Tempting.
Next time play some sexy music and pull out that Sulaco foldout nice and slow like...oh yeah...
How build your own alien
What do foldouts smell like? 😂
@Mammoth Supremacy 55 yeeeaaa . . . my comment was a joking response . .
Cheers for reviewing 👍 😀
Cool. Alien Blueprints a.k.a. How To Build Your Alien Ship For Dummies.
Mr H beat to you it on reviewing this book, thou he did no unbox it,
Your voice sounds alot like Score PN's now that I think about it.
There is a guy who goes to the local comic cons and sells blueprint prints, all lifted from this book :/
If the director for the next alien movie doesn't consult you I'll be disappointed
Me want it.....
