So I found myself in possession of a bag full of 200 Alien Conquest Clingers in May 2012.  This is what I did with them...or rather, what I'm doing with them.  If you do a careful count, you'll see that 199 of them are actually photographed (one of the 27 Cthuliens is doing something else), and at present about 1/3 of them are still waiting for dinner to be served.  If you're trying to figure out what's going on, read the image titles and pay attention to the Stage numbers.

If you look closely at the image 20, you can see some scuff marks on the S7 Tennis Player (there are some black marks on the left side of the shirt, and the right end of the bottom stripe ends well short of where it should).  I pulled that out of a sealed case of minifigs (sealed in the original shipper carton even), and when I opened the bag I found that the torso had not just paint damage, but some diagonal grooving, like it had fallen face-down on a rough cement floor and someone had stepped on it and slid their shoe across the floor before throwing the piece back in the system.  It's irritating, especially since you can't call up LEGO Consumer Affairs and ask for a replacement, but at least I found a way to put it to use where the damage is more of an enhancement than a detraction.

Regarding image 19...well, what can I say.  I'm really more of a DC fan.  So on to image 24, I discovered that the trans-bright green hex-shields from the Hero Factory line are almost an exact match for the footprint of the tentacle bases that I used for the Cthuliens, so what's going on there is that Green Lantern is just flying along and blasting them into oblivion.  BTW, if you get a chance, call up LEGO Consumer Affairs and give them heck for the fact that if you gathered together every official Green Lantern minifig in the entire world, you'd have about enough for a single person to build a legitimate Green Lantern Corps.  I want at least a couple dozen of them, and that's just not going to happen if they don't put one in a retail set.  I really don't care if it's the same torso design, as they're rarely shown wearing the exact same outfits anyways.  BTW, that is an entirely stock LEGO energy blast that he's shooting out of the ring that doesn't actually exist.

In the Cleanup Crew, you'll notice one guy wearing a slightly different outfit.  That's actually the 2012 Doomsday Fallout pack that Brickforge gave out at Brickworld Chicago this year (in an earlier pic, you might also notice that I have one Brickworld minifig for each year that I've attended, with pants to match the badge colors from those years).

About the ADU...well, let's just say these are the garden-variety aliens they're used to fending off.

The Army is equipped with a bunch of those modern bullpup rifles.  I wanted something other than the standard wild west LEGO rifles, but when I stopped by World War Brick 2012 in Chicago, I found myself waffling over exactly which guns to buy for them.  Only later did I realize that these are probably a bit too modern for your average National Guard post to be armed with, but that's what I picked out.  Maybe next year I'll try to pick up a different batch.

And for the Men in Black, well, I was in the middle of getting this stuff ready for display at Brickworld 2012 (my alien parts, with all the loose clingers going on another club members' minifigs, which I've since returned as I build up my own set of victims), and I went to see MiB3 (good movie, BTW, and much better than MiB2).  Well, I couldn't just pass up the chance to put a squad of them out with this whole setup.  For weapons, a couple years ago I'd managed to get my hands on a Brickarms pack that had nine custom weapons based on various sci-fi properties.  I handed out the eight firearms to Agents Black, Dark-Grey, Brown, Reddish-Brown, Dark-Orange, Earth-Orange, Dark-Tan, and Tan.  I've since added Agent Light-Bley with a custom gun that measures exactly 10 studs long (in all black parts, put one of the old space rifles in the over-the-shoulder position, put a life preserver on the eyepiece like they did with the Gamestop Lex Luthor, put a 2x2 radar dish, a palm tree top, and a telescope on the barrel, and put a stack of 3x S2 Weightlifter weight bricks on the back end).  Part of the reason I did this is because none of the Brickarms weapons has an attachment point on the barrel, so none of them can actually fire.  Once I'd gotten my hands on the Brickforge "splat" piece in the Doomsday Fallout pack, I realized it would make great blasted alien goop, so I bought ten (though I had to settle for trans-neon green, where I would have preferred either trans-bright green or the glow-in-the-dark that they included in the Fallout pack).  Another part of the reason is that I still haven't used up all the colors that they've used for the standard male hair (Agents Light-Grey and White, coming someday?).  And the final part is that none of the Brickarms weapons is anywhere near as ridiculously huge as the larger guns that Agent Kay kept pulling out of various stashes throughout the three MiB movies.
