So if you ordered one this year, you'll get it next year when they're ordering next years model??

Probably but it sounds like this year's orders are already done.

In past 3 months, I sold 5 pistols and one brs on exchange forum trying to raise the fund for the Alien, but now your review hesitated me.
Make it simple please, is it worth the 6k from your point of view? Thanks.

Negatives:

• Default mags are terrible. If you put in 10 rounds and insert on a closed slide it takes a ton of force to rack the slide (New lower powered springs makes this possible but still difficult).
  
• The screws on the mags strip easily. I already have 1 base plate that is useless. Why they use screws on a competition pistol compared to a glock mag style base plate I will never know.
  
• Slide release spring does not seem to be the right tension. So a rough mag insertion drops the slide.
  
• The frame is made of aluminum. It should be steel for the extra weight needed buy a of a target shooting pistol.
  
• If you need any help it is about as slow as getting these pistols. Laugo takes months to give you a real response. Tactical Imports was not much better. For 6k I expected better customer service from a company trying to break into the AAA+ pistol market.

Positives:

• The recoil impulse is unlike anything you have felt before.
• This gun has produced my personal best groups period.

Mine is on order, but after reading the review, I'm still looking forward to getting it. I think a good analogy is that the alien is like an exotic sports car. It's not something you would take out every day, it has its issues (magwell vs engine light), but when you drive it, it handles corners like a cat and does 0-100 in 2.8 seconds (best groupings).

It is hard for me to answer this. The only gun I have owned that is in a comparable class is a CZ czechmate. I originally wanted to sell one one the other but I still own both because I cant decide. So I would say I would buy it again. Every person I let shoot it reacts at the difference in recoil as well.

I was able to get replacement magazine springs from Tactical Imports for no cost(Shipped for free as well). This has made the magazine bearable but still stiff. The slide of the Alien has a hole the the bullets seat up into when the slide is closes. The bullets need to be pushed down in the magazine for the slide to rack.

The only outstanding issue that is effecting me now is the weak slide catch spring. I hope to have time in the spring to work on that and see if I can fix it.
