I've seen these figures once or twice. I bought the one with the Sulaco
and the Dropship(actually bought 2), but haven't really used them much
yet. There is another pack with both the ship from the first movie(can't
remember the name) and the shuttle from the first movie(I think) and
both sets come with some useless little figures of the aliens from that
movie and Ripley. I think there was also one based on the third(quite
awful) movie, but don't remember what was in it. The dropships are huge
for DSII, but probably workable. The space ships are usuable as FT
ships, maybe in the medium to light capital ship range, if put beside
the GZG FT mini's.

I haven't seen them very much, so I would assume they are quite rare,
even more so than the last two Bab5 packages.
