God...it's depressing to even think about this subject! OK..the stages gone; what about the guns, clothing, etc etc ? I'd like to believe that Nathan and the rest of the BDH's got some of the goodies for themselves to keep.
Why is it that ALL the stupid and shitty movies like Fantastic Four, Santa Clause,Big Mommas House, Superman,Fokkers, etc etc get more movies, and Firefly/Serenity is ignored?
The ONLY answer I come up with is the hard reality that the vast majority of people in America & the rest of the world are frikkin' morons,idiots, and mindless dolts, and the bean-counting suits know that oh so well!.....Yeah...bet they're all drooling in breathless anticipation for the new season of American Idol or Survivor, or some new show with Paris Hilton or Jessica Simpson!....How gorram rutting sad and pathetic for the human race.

The real secret is that I ate it, but noone wanted y'all to know.
They had good taste.

May not be smart, and it may not please you, but you're definitely gonna see what I have to say.

there's a joke in the Prairie Home Companion movie, about another show closing , and what'll happen to the old house set.
The detective, Guy Noir, says, " I figure it has something to do with that big dumpster that was delivered yesterday."
When a show closed, studios used to store the more re-usable sets on the back lot for a while. If another show needed a salooon, or courtroom, or hospital, the designer could pull one out of the stock on the lot, get it repainted and refurbished, cheaper than building from scratch.
'Course it had to BE re-usable-- can't thnik anybody else could much use a spaceship that looked like Serenity.

Well, the Ariel ambulance got rescued from Fox's Junk yard, literally just like the fictional one was in the Episode. A lot of stuff fell into the hands of Collectors, in particular this one guy who's name I can't recall but his stuff makes up a lot of the photos in the FF official Visual Companion Vol 1. The only real "Collectible" from the Series that people can still purchase are the metal game cards from "Shindig". They have a few left, in display frames, at Propstore.com . Look under "Firefly" in their inventory list.
The Serenity props and costumes are available there as well; I mentioned that earlier in this thread. Their latest additions are the gloves that Jayne wore when he and Kaylee were cleaning the Cargo Bay, and one of the Prop Rubber Grenades from the film. Both are priced a bit high, but if you set up the list to read from "Lowest price to highest", you'll see what's affordable and what's not. Items actually worn or used by the cast and having extensive screen time tend to be outrageously expensive. But every once in a while you can get lucky. I purchsed the Special Forces Badge that was on Simon's Uniform at the beginning of the BDM for $135. Might seem like a lot, but it was made specially for the film, and is pretty much "one of a kind".
So if you're looking for such things, there's a good place to start 
As mentioned earlier, a lot of things get reused. Firefly used a set from "The Power Rangers" for the derelict ship in "Bushwhacked"! The spacesuits were leftovers from the film "Soldier" with Kurt Russel. The Alliance Soldier's gear was from "Starship Troopers"... see?
