Well, this could be the stumbling point.... I'm in the UK, so posting to the USA from the UK (including loss or damage insurance) is £7 GBP which is.... around $11.50 I think.

As long as I'm not going to be out for postage fees I'm happy to create a loaner set complete with the cover, label art, quad case etc. BUT... how can anyone guarantee that they'll pass it on to someone else and not just keep it for themselves?

There'd have to be a thread created whereby people register their interest... then whoever has the current set sends it to the next person on the list and so on. The receiver would have to cover the costs to the sender though so no-one loses out (except me I guess for the discs etc for the original, but that's cool!)

How about it then?

Hey, any of you guys considering buying a set from MarkuzR -- Do it! Do it now!!

I just got mine and man is it ever shiny! Killer graphics on the case and discs. The audio and video are mint, and the first disc also has some cool extras.

Thanks Mark! You are indeed a worthy successor to TRS80.

Cheers,

Didn't someone around here take over for Trs80? Well, if so, that's the guy you'll want to talk to. If no one is mass producing DVD's at the moment, I'm sure somebody can sell you a copy of their's.

And by the way, is anyone going to be making a DVD of the unaired episodes as soon as they air overseas? Maybe our combined pestering can get Trs80 out of retirement.

I just today got my set from MarkuzR and... well, the only word I can come up with is 'Wow'.

I can't compare them to TRS80's, but given that TRS isn't making them any more, it's not that big a loss ;)

PowerDVD doesn't like Mark's menus, but otherwise the whole thing is exquisite, from the box to the labeling to the quality itself.

I'll also commend Mark's honor. The above-mentioned downside bit us - namely, the shipping. The first set he sent seems to have fallen out of the plane somewhere over the mid-Atlantic. At no cost to me he put another set in the mail, when the first one failed to arrive in time for the friend's birthday I had requested them for.

The cost isn't minor, but isn't any more than you'd pay for them for-real. If you're looking for Firefly, his set is as good as any you'll find.

Hi all!

OK... in the last week or so I've had three emails asking me for DVD sets and had to turn them away so I thought I'd better make an announcement here so I don't disappoint anyone else!

As much as it pains me to say it, I can't help anyone else out with FF DVD sets. I was contacted by the MPAA who asked that I cease from selling them. It wasn't a nasty letter, it was more a polite request but I think it would get nasty if I didn't comply with their request so I did in fact stop making the sets.

I only got as far as three sets, two of which to people on here (and thanks for the amazing feedback from both, it's appreciated!!) and one which was a private sale to a friend. I had literally just finished making complete motion-menus and episode leadins to the set when I got the letter, so no-one will get to see my finished masterpiece! :(

There are still sets being sold on eBay but I guess they're not really bothering about them for some reason. Perhaps they singled me out because I put so much effort into the menus and packaging, I dunno.

Either way, I can no longer provide them. Really sorry!

I have only just joined this board, as in the U.K. we have only recently shown Firefly on the Sci-Fi channel. Having said that, I would love to get hold of a set of either DVD's or vids. Doesn't matter if it's sent from the US, cos my DVD player and VCR are both multi region.

Any help gratefully appreciated!
