I watched it on DVD last night... what an odd coincidence!
I sat through the full 'directors cut' - now, some of these scenes where cut with a reason! - namely cringeworthy dialouge "I'm the ultimate badass" etc.. Oh dear. 
Excellent film though, all he same... Mr Giger's art and design is just something else.

Sorry, I'm going to go all 'film buff' now, but I disagree totally. The extra scenes add more depth to the characters (yeah, the 'badass' line is awful, but it's a big contrast to when the same character start's whining about 'game over, man!' - geddit?), especially the bit where Ripley learns about her daughter bing dead - that explains why she is so protective of Newt.
Anyway, you have to admit the scene with the sentry guns is wicked!
Okay, rant over, back to topic: yeah, very cool models!
P.S. Yeah, Giger's design is fantastic, but apparently he hates the aliens from all the other films, saying that he thought the one in Alien: Resurrection 'literally looked like [insert profanity for human waste here]'.

Some of the dialogue throughout the film is pretty poor (although no-where near as awful as Predator). I have to disagree that I think that information about Ripleys daughter should have been cut - it just makes the film so formulaic.

Now, how do I order a Dropship and APC from Konami? I can't read the japanese!
Hmmmm... 4" long would make it about 1/100 scale, IIRC, maybe smaller. Damn. I was hoping for one of the Halcyon 1/72 (25mm scale) models somewhere.

The depressing part is you can't.
The figs in question are a concpet known as "gashapon". The roginal gashapon figs were prepainted, collectable plastic toys based of popular Japanese cartoons, manga, movies etc sold from vending machines.
The higher end sci-fi market took the concept and started cranking out more expensive prepainted, collectable plastic toys based off popular Japanese cartoons, manga, movies etc...
Generally they put one or two maufacturing runs out and when the figs are gone they're gone. Hello eBay.
As a side note, I can also point out that this is where WizKidz and Wizard's of the Coast stole their collectable miniature game ideas from orginally.
