I really would like to know. What do you think they would have done with it? Would they just tear it down?

...which set? Firefly or Serenity?
Not sure about the latter, but the former was definitely torn down. I have pieces of her hanging on my walls. Bits and pieces were swiped for safe-keeping.
I have to imagine most of the Serenity sets were also struck. Space saving and whatnot.

Yep, it got tore down. It was occupying the largest soundstage at Universal City, so it got reused pretty quick.
It took somethink like a 100 or so people to build it, too -- not cheap. It had to be rebuilt for the movie anyway, though, so this is the 2nd time it's been destroyed.

yep, unfortunatly both verisons (the Firefly one and the Serenity one) got torn down.
Simple fact was they were just too big for storage (ie: Serenity took up two of Universals biggest sound stages alone). And with the low prospects of another sequel/series, the storage cost would have been to high.
Although i do feel the heads of Universals theme parks could have tried to find a way to incorurate it into their rides or shows or seomthing instead of just wasting those beautiful pieaces of sci fi history. I certainly would of paid good money just to SEE that cargo bay myself, as would many other peoople i suppose, but they didn't think that far ahead so we can't.
Curse them and their inevitable betrayl!!!

But what did they do with all of the pieces? Were they thrown away? Like was EVERYTHING that was in the ship get chucked?

Quote:A lot of the set was tossed into the garbage. Things like furnishings and decorations (tea pots, chairs, etc.) were recycled as appropriate - back to prop warehouses or on to different shows, unless they were damaged and unusable.

A lot of the set dressing and props from the ship ended up at the Propstore of London, along with costumes and preproduction items.

I have quite a few items from the BDM, including a shiny metallic grey ceramic cup from Serenity's galley. :)

Well, with the Firefly set I'm betting F*X execs set it on fire. Then danced around it chanting the words that were sent by their master.
