Every Sci-Fi lover’s mantlepiece needs an Alien egg Blu-ray boxset resting on top of it. Sadly, there are only going to be 5000 of the limited edition box sets coming to Australia. And we’re giving away three of them right here.
The box sets, which include all four Alien films plus 60 hours of special features (including never before seen stuff like Sigourney Weaver’s audition tapes), features the cool Unbound and MU-TH-ER modes for swapping discs quickly and easily and accessing all the special features. It’s also creepy as hell, especially when you switch on the light inside the egg at night time.
Worth $300 each, we’re giving away three of these beauties this week. To win one, we want you to write a limerick detailing your favourite scene from any of the four Alien films and post it in the comments section below. Competition will close 5pm on November 9, with winners announced on November 10 (which just happens to be the day the box set is hitting store shelves).
Best of luck!

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 1:53 PMThere was a young ripley being chased by a mother
Each of them bent on revenge for the other
When finally Ripley rescued Newt
She suited up & said ” u beaut ”
And it was space in which the “bitch” did smother

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 1:59 PMthere was once a miner named Kane
who found himself in a world full of pain
from within his chest
an alien did nest
that burst out of him like rain.

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:08 PMThere once was an alien in vein
who walked past the dorm you were stayin’
He extended his mass
Into your crevace
and its babies came out in great pain

Ripley finds an unlikely intruder;
with a blow to the head
he’s still not quite dead
’till he meets with the incinerator

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:24 PMThe pain he described as unbearable,
So they Laid him onto the dinner table
Earlier his face got a hug
now in his chest it had dug
this bursting slug would soon be unescapeable

Out comes the femme fatale weaver
The first of kiss ass female lead

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:30 PMSilence from LV Four Twenty Six,
Queue Ripley and Marines for a Fix,
The Company risks lives,
But Ripley survives,
Which is good because Weaver sells tix!

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:31 PMThere was a young lady with an embryo,
Inside of the lady it would grow.
Erupting from her chest,
The lady she pressed,
Throwing herself in the inferno.

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:37 PMBishop’s death in part two was the money
His fight with the queen, quite funny
With his legs over here
It did end his career
All that white, gooey blood was so runny
He who shall remain nameless... Gary

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:41 PMFive Explorers drifted out there in space
One got something stuck on his face
Weeks later at lunch
They all heard a crunch
Is this the end for the whole human race?
MrMay
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:43 PMAs he sat to devour a meal
A crewman started to squeal
His friends thought “the food is rejected”
But instead an alien ejected
And now its all horribly real.

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 2:47 PMDallas didn’t want to fight
But Ripley closed the door tight
Blind on B and C decks
It’s horseshit to fix
He just wants to get the hell outta here alright?

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 3:01 PM“Game over man, game over!”
Cried another colonial soldier.
The Aliens hissed,
and the bullets missed,
while Ripley readied the space bulldozer.

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 3:28 PMAn android named Bishop was lithe
Turned out to be good with a knife
When alien blood hit the path
He was torn instantly in half
Which ended his quality life
Rappo
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 3:29 PMThe alien queen’s tail did twitch
with no more triggers left to itch
Ripley stated the loader
and forcefully told ‘er
“get away from her you bitch”

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 3:32 PMWith HR Geiger the inspirer,
Alien and Aliens full of surprisers.
Then the franchise got sick,
Winona and Predators put in the mix.
Just be pleased there’s no more Paul Reiser.

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 3:54 PMRipley rested on her bed
Relieved, as she was not dead.
As her chest began to hurt,
an alien came out screaming
Just as well Ripley was only dreaming.
Lynton
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:02 PMIn the pipe and five-by-five,
The dropship pilot looked out her window.
It was all for naught,
As soon would be taught,
When her guts in the cockpit would billow.
NacaYoda
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:08 PMAt night she said t’would begin,
We’d all thought, “Gun turrents for the win!”
But they had a bad feeling,
So they looked in the ceiling…
Future gun turrent plans were all binned.

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:13 PMWhen the biped spat flaming butane
The bitch recoiled in acute pain
Ripley opened the door
Mother started to claw
The vacuum of space is now her domain
Keldo
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:15 PMDear Ripley…
Of Aliens you have nothing to fear,
For you are safe with my badasses here,
We have nukes and smart guns,
Sharp sticks by the tonnes
And for close encounters my shotgun is near.

Out comes the femme fatale weaver
The first of kick ass female lead
says Get away from her you bitch!
Away with survivors in Sulaco shuttle

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:37 PMThere once was an alien queen,
Who was beaten up by a machine,
Out the airlock it went
Into space did it vent
If only it had won and stopped 3.

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:49 PMThe planet’s ethereal and ghostly.
Pack a flamer to make critters toasty.
When asked how often
they put people in coffins,
“They mostly come at night. Mostly.”
Kalem
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 4:54 PMNewt really hated being lonely
as the station was not very homely
the aliens wanted her dead
Newt hid using her head
Since they mostly come at night… mostly
