They're off and running! Get your copy now, they're down 200 or so already and there's only 750 to be had. Shipping will be $15 in the US, shipped in a tube in bubblewrap and then in a box.

I have to get a set of these. My wife has agreed to let me build a life-sized replica of Serenity in our front yard.

(She feels fairly confident that I won't be able to manage it, darn her.)

Sounds like she is using a little reverse psychology there.

Build it and they will come.

I found two places that still have some pre-order allotments for those who want to avoid the mad dash at midnight.

two other sites blackmarketbeagles and serenityverse
already sold out of their allotment so of the 750 there are probably already down to 700 or so.

There are probably going to be less than 500 sets at QMx in the end. Who knows how many dealers there are worldwide. There's probably a business in every major city in the US that could qualify to sell them, and each one gets 25 sets. Who wouldn't want the easy profit.

I can see how there could be another limited edition, this time autographed by someone else. Once all the autograph versions are sold, then comes the super discounted non-autographed limited edition of 3000. That's how it would work in the regular publishing world, because printing more copies is relatively cheap and reduces per unit overhead cost. Chances are several thousand copies were already printed in the first run and are just on hold for later. Sometimes I'm so cynical, and I shouldn't be.

I decided to take the bird-in-the-hand and get a set from KM Collectables. As I noted in the other thread, I definitely won't be keeping them in a tube either.

Well, considering that I have several much less ambitious building projects that are unfinished, I have to admit that she's probably right that I woulnd't manage it.

Still, wouldn't it be cool? My thought is that we'd then run it as a B&B. Guests could select the passenger dorms, the Kaylee suite, the Captain suite, the Jayne suite, the Washburn suite, or the top-priced Inara Shuttle Suite. Meals would be served in the kitchen. Internet access would be in the bridge, and laundry in the engine room. The cargo bay would contain a Firefly/Serenity museum and double as a space for panels, shindigs, and Bedlam Bards concerts. Weddings would be performed by a Ron Glass look-alike.

I can see it now . . .

There's a dentist's office in Orlando decked out like the Next Gen Enterprise. You have to do this, Ced, it's a moral imperative.
