Did Walter even end up face to face with the Xeno?

Good point, don't think he did. Just David

Don't like that slip anyway. It's the weakest of the 3 IMO


Edit: actually David squared up with the other one and waved his arms at the xeno (made me laugh that bit)

 

[cooey]

Decided...I'll be going for Lenti A

Half asleep, half awake...
Another Slip A holofoil nightmare....

Doc says it's all in my mind.
All I know is, I'm gonna nuke the corporation if they screw the pooch on this one.

Did Walter even end up face to face with the Xeno?

How can you tell that's Walter? I assumed it was David.

But to answer your question, no, neither had a face to face with Xeno. At least not on screen. I assumed it was David because he had a face to face with Neo. I prefer a David v Neo lenti. I might've actually bought it.

 

[BDDB]

I can't make up my mind if I want to bother, not crazy about the artwork and with FAC planning the whole series but Manta Lab releases are the nutz

Well David has blonde hair and Walter has dark brown

True, but...

Spoiler: movie spoiler

...by the end of the movie, just before the xeno attacks the ship, David has replaced Walter, and he had already died his hair.
Actually, i might be wrong here, but by David vs Walter fight, i think he already had his hair brown.

So @Aniv is it confirmed Manta are going to do the whole franchise? Would be nice to know seeing as FA are going to do it and would be nice decide between retailers

Film should have been called "SYNTHETICS Covenant" because it was way too focused on the droids. Probably the worst film in the franchise.

For me it's Prometheus 9.5/10, Alien 10/10, Aliens 10/10.

They were the only interesting characters in the film, because like you said, the film was focused on them.. the rest of the cast had zero character development.. I felt like I was watching one of those crappy horrors where it was more about killing the characters then them actually having a plot/story.. for me this is the worst film in the franchise mainly because of the lack of character development and I was far more interested in seeing Elizabeth Shaw's sequel.. if Sigourney Weaver isn't in an Alien film then they've gotta have another lead thats worthy and for Covenant there was none.. such a shame.

I don't think this film is worth a premium edition.. I'm gonna stick with the cheaper hmv steel ( it'll match the rest of the steels i have so that's a plus. )

 

[IRON MAN]

I enjoyed it and looking forward to getting my box set.

Yes it is confirmed. Manta have said they are working on the whole series as are Film Arena

That's what I'm thinking aswell. Uniformity!

This would be my only Alien premium edition and I dont think I'm going to bother splashing out on them all. Especially when I already have them.

Unless someone would just sell me this steelbook on its own.......

 

[DudleyMan]

Wait so lenti A is lenti on the front and holofoil on the back? Won't that ruin the wraparound image, surely one of their lenti pet slips would of been better. I may go with FA for alien set as don't like fullslip or lenti b here

I would like to get them premium style but then I think it'll be somewhere around £40 each which adds up to £240 for 6 films that I already own 4 times over on the first 4 and once for prometheus. I'll see how I feel about the first 4 when I see artwork but for this film hmv will do

 

[goufcustom]

if they'd do the whole franchise, which i'd love them to, couldn't wait to see what they come up with Prometheus, Alien and Aliens...
