Very impressed with the collectibles you mentioned. The compression coild as well? You could start a Firefly display museum.
No, the coil is owned by the lady who sold me the mike. THAT would be one cool memento! But I'm happy owning a piece of the ship that was in every episode.
A pic of the mike is here:

You normally saw the back of it when Wash or whomever was holding it, but the back don't look like much. It's obviously a real-world item that has been pressed into service. The brandname/logo is covered with a piece of tape to ptevent it showing up in a shot.

Tasmania here.Thank god for the internet, without which I would have never discovered this awesome show. I've only watched the first two episodes screened, and despite the obvious re-shuffuling, the show still rocks. Serenity pt2 on tonight.

Jothanax, Do yourself a huge favour and buy the DVD box set.

Is anyone able to pull up stats on just how well DVD sales were for Firefly? Aussie or world sales? is there a way of finding out? Just curious to see how many closet browncoats are really out there...
I'm curious about this too, and about the worldwide number. Posted this question elsewhere but got no answer.
As for playing Firefly at 1AM... I can't understand why they are playing repeats of Alias EARLIER than Firefly. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at anything they do. I hope there are no Alias fans here, but that show sucks. (sorry).
By the way, it's good to be on this forum. I feel like I found sanity at last. (Sanity rhymes with Serenity, by the way)

A big YES to that. There is so much more with the DVD box set. Plus you can watch it any old time.
I've just about memorised every line of dialogue, but I'm still loving it.

Glad I looked at the pic. It's neat. I am glad you've got it too.
I mistakenly thought it was the "wireless" version that was seen in Ariel when Mal talked to Jayne who was stuck in the airlock.
Off topic:
You know, it would be neat if they ever shoot future episodes (here's hoping) of Serenity/firefly here. That's the one thing we're missing. It was great to read blogs about the set and the cast and meeting them.
I'd say it would be even better than having the Star Wars prequels shot here (at Fox Studios).

If there's one reason I wish I lived in Sydney instead of Melbourne, it would be that you guys have Fox studios up there. Down here, I have no chance!!
You guys hear the bad news yet? The BDM release has been pushed back to Sept. 30th - at least in the States. I have no idea if the international dates will be pushed back as well though, but I have a feeling that they will be
To see Joss' announcement, go to http://whedonesque.com/?comments=5406#42835 - and scroll up a little bit...
'Yes... this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "this land".' 'I think we should call it your grave.' 'Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!'

About Fox studios... I remember taking a little sneak at some of the sets of Attack of the Clones when it was being filmed. A friend was a set builder there, and she got me in. I was suffering from shock for the next few months. But, you know, it's overrated in retrospect. Both the film and the size of the production. Especially when you consider two things:
- Firefly was made under extreme duress and at a fraction of the budget of any Star Wars prequels. As the saying goes... lots of money doesn't mean it's gonna be good.
- Fox (the owner of Fox Studios) cancelled Firefly.
These seem enough reasons for me to not think much of all that. More and more, I realise how important it is to have good stories and characters. I guess that's why we're all on this chat. But I think I'm digressing.
About the release delay:
What a bummer. I know I can't use swear words, so that's all I should say. I really hope marketing is all there is behind it, and there are no sinister reasons. Man, such a long time to wait.
