Thanks for the heads up. Also security fencing, scientific dudes (all the
figs in the warriors style of 3d torso customisation, except with more
colour detail), and a tricky hangar thingie.

And the aliens - I might be missing my guess, but I think that the aliens
might be created in molds by the player, playdoh style.
I say this because:
There is a mold in evidence in the interior picture (bottom left) in a green
outer. The inner looks like an exchangeable mold.
The drums seem to contain and be dressed with (3d, non paint/sticker)
coloured muck whose colurs match the alien figs.
The aliens lack the colour definition of the other figs, being a primary
colour, with legs and other bits apparently in different ways.
The hangar roof looks like a card, which is a pity - in plastic, it would be
one hell of a starship hull section ;-) Mind you, if Lego can use printed
fabric roofing sections, I guess we're allowed to use painted card. I had
never thought of this before. Build the ship's skeletal structure with MB
(or even Lego ;-), and then clad large sections of it with (perhaps curved)
card, attractively printed using your trusty colour printer and some self
adhesive labels. Too cool. I might finally be able to build a decent
carrier! I can think of half a dozen people who might be able to use this
technique to turn small collections, light on for plates, into starship
construction yards...
