Know the piece before you buy.
Owner-confirmed original Aliens CBS/Fox video-store promotional one-sheet from the private Discount Video archive, photographed as the actual item. The dramatic Ripley-and-Newt design, printed videocassette release line, and Five Star Collection cross-promotion make this a distinct period retail campaign piece—not an ordinary reproduction or stock print. The supplied front photo is intentionally unretouched: it shows the exact paper, its edge wear, and its display character rather than a stock image or mockup.
- Condition
- good
- Condition notes
- Photo-reviewed only: the poster presents flat in the supplied front image. Light edge and corner wear, especially along the right side and lower edge, plus small surface marks or reflections are visible. No restoration, fold, or tear claim is made without an in-hand inspection.
- Dimensions
- Owner identifies this as a one-sheet; exact 27 × 41 in measurement is pending an in-hand check before checkout.
- Print / format
- Owner identifies this as an original period one-sheet video-store promotion. The supplied front shows the printed “ALIENS IS HERE!” headline, “Available on Videocassette,” CBS/Fox Video mark, and a Five Star Collection callout for Alien at $29.98 suggested retail. Period trade coverage places Aliens in CBS/Fox’s Five Star Collection at that price point.

- United States
- Provenance
- Private Discount Video archive, retained from the store for approximately 40 years.
- Price context
- Current catalog value entered at $350 for the owner-confirmed CBS/Fox video-store promotional one-sheet. Current public eBay evidence includes a $165 sold conventional 1986 Aliens one-sheet and a $375 auction result for a different high-grade original; this exact CBS/Fox video-store promotional campaign one-sheet was not available as a direct public match. The ask reflects the owner-confirmed period promo format, subject title, and Discount Video provenance. It is not an appraisal; exact dimensions and full condition still need in-hand confirmation.
