Me being me looked straight for the Lego section, and I saw this: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RadiumRadiator/Spacey-thingies/mars_mission_alien_but_with_arms_oddness.jpg The Mars Mission aliens don't have proper arms, just static ones, which dissapointed many people. So this looks great. I don't know where Tesco got the picture from exactly, because that must be a prototype alien. I wonder why Lego scrapped that idea... ? So, what do you think of this? Merkle

Would have been nice if they did use the prototype instead because then the aliens could hold weapons. Jedi Spring's Gallery
