From what I've read, they aren't going to be producing the unlighted, unsigned version :o/

She is a glorious looking model, and I would love to have her, but even with the $500 pre-order discount, I can't justify that kind of expense.

This saddens me so much, I really can't express it. What saddens me more is that the price really puts this out of range for most fans. :o/

What I wouldn't give to have her tho... just not, you know, $2500 bucks ;o|

1400 people signed on to the waiting list.
I have to wonder if even 10% will be able to pony up twenty-five hundred bucks for the Serenity replica.

Especially when "this" was the fans' original expectation.



My expectation is that after 100 to 200 of the super fancy editions sell, sales will die off.
I'd expect QMx to release the downgraded version for $1,200 to $1,500 at that point.

I have to admit that I'm curious how many BDR are actually being bought.
$2,500 is a LOT of money to most folks;
more than I imagine most have as disposable income for a display piece.

I would give that if I had it to give. Unfortunately, unless this beauty doubles as a high-powered computer... or a car... or dental work... or hell, two trips to a convention... there are other places my money needs to go. Breaks a heart.

$2,495 x 1,000 = Train Job!

Only billionaires can afford that.
