New Colonial Marine Model Kit

Just got the following message from Dave Espi:

I'm the owner of the resin kit company ESPI PRODUCTIONS

I have been away from the resin kit market for some time, and have decided to make a resurgence as the fan base and calling for my kits has become overwhelming. In 1998 I produced a resin kit of a 1/8th scale Colonial Marine and 1/2 alien figure sculpted by Ian Coulter and myself. Now in 2008, I am re-releasing the kits in three versions:
1) The marine. (50 numbered castings) 2) The marine and torso alien. (25 numbered castings) and..... to mark my 10 year anniversary of the kit, 3)The "Vignette"

A brand new 10 year anniversary edition with a 360 degree viewable base diorama. On it is a destroyed wall section with 1/2 emerged alien and USMC Colonial Marine. Hand poured in our trademark Bronzecast Durathane resin, the kit will be strictly limited to 80 castings. Twenty parts to the kit as well as extras and wire sections to complete it with a more authentic appearance to the wall. Certificate of Authenticity, and color boxart and instructions are also included. As I am unveiling the prototype of it here on [b]The HIVE [/b] for the first time to anyone in the world, I am offering a pre-order price of 76.00 including shipping in the continental USA. Initial castings are available September First of this year, and will be in full production availability as of October 1st 2008. One month special chance to Alien and Predator fans here in the forums before available to the general public. Final version of the kit will be a slight variation of this, but is 99% completed as shown. Please feel free to reply here with comments and PM me if interested in one of these. They will go fast, and once gone, they are gone again!
