This is a rare opportunity to own these highly sought-after and accurate prop Weyland-Yutani vintage-style diskettes. These reproduction props are professionally printed using the best quality materials. They are created using traditional film and television art department techniques for added authenticity and so is perfect for on-screen or display use.
Note: This listing is for a pair of disks of which there are two styles available. The first style is the rarer period-correct black 3.5” SD diskettes and the second style is the slightly more modern 3.5” HD disks of the later 1980s and 90s. Apart from a few small differences like the HD logo and extra hole both styles are very similar in appearance. There were several diskettes created for the production including black and dark olive versions, the ones in this auction are both black. The first disk is an accurate recreation of the production-made labelled disk intended for use in the briefing sequence where Ripley explains the disastrous events aboard the ill-fated Nostromo (Lt. Gorman later advises the Colonial Marines that Ripley’s full report is "on disk”.) The second disk is inspired by the additional classified mission protocols outlined by Weyland Yutani’s Special Projects Division to acquire Xenomorph samples for further bio-research. Both the disks are blank and contain no information as we no longer possess a disk drive!
Disk 1: Warrant Officer E. Ripley’s Report - USS Nostromo 1128.9.A
Disk 2: Weyland-Yutani (Space) Corp: Special Projects - Classified Mission Directives
Trivia: The movie's budget was almost running out when it was time for constructing the set of the hypersleep chamber aboard the Sulaco. Each chamber cost over $4,300 to build, meaning that they could only afford to make four capsules. Production designer Peter Lamont had the difficult task of telling director James Cameron that they had to omit the entire scene, but he devised a trick: clever placement of mirrors and camera angles made it look like there were 12 chambers, allowing the scene to be filmed.
