    Hopefully they used the shitty KOs and not the real thing.

    *EDIT* Aliens was in 1986, so those Shockwaves were the real deal (but obviously they were bought new in the store for 10 bucks or whatever he was going for in 1986).

    No, no, no - surely this was the perfect opportunity for someone to post that meme photo of the guy with the crazy hair and the blurb 'Aliens'.

    TFW, I'm disappointed in you.

    That it's a cameo. It looks like a coincidence to me, unless that's what it actually is, and I haven't caught onto the joke.

    To be fair, how the F would anyone notice something as random as that? I'm in awe that anyone DID notice it at all. Goes to show, never underestimate obsessive nerds with freeze frame :)

    Sets are frequently built with whatever crap they think looks cool. Somebody probably just saw the shockwave toys, thought they looked like a cool techy the, and picked a couple up.
