The Big Damn Replica now available for pre-order.
Only a thousand will be made, so you better get it soon if you have the money.
It's got quite a price to it, but the detail is pretty damn amazing. I've already ordered mine and it's definitely worth it. There's also a payment plan for those that can't pay it all at once.

It's certainly beautiful, but how about a "Little" Damn Model I can build myself without having to mortgage my house or sell a friend's kidneys?

And now I wait.
"At that price I don't see them running out of stock any time soon"
I snagged up edition #98 and that was only minutes after the early pre-order thing opened on the 23rd. So, I'm not sure what indication that is as to how fast they are selling.
I do hope the majority of which are fans and not stuffy collectors that will try to turn around and sell these for even higher prices. :o

Please note that I actually have a very good relationship with QMx. I have bought many of their items, and have given them high praise on TFAW and other collectibles Sites. I just feel I have to express my opinion about this. If it's too snarky, I won't object to the Mods deleting this post.
-And Carmie, I ordered the Blueprint Set one minute after it became available. I got #374. The # of your model is pretty much a crapshoot, based on previous (multiple) experiences.

I pretty much agree with you. I'm not sure what happened to the model I wanted. The BDR is a fantastic model with a fantastic price. I'm glad QMx is going to build them, but I wish I could get a very nice "bookshelf" sized model. Because while the price tag gives me pause, so does finding the space to properly display it. I'd love a QMx quality model that I can "fly" around the room in one hand then land on a shelf. :)
But that's just me - if you're not me you, should go order a BDR right now.

It wasn't too long ago that they had proposed two versions of this Replica, one to be more expensive with the light show and one without that option. I had planned on foregoing the lights for the lesser cost, but at some point they apparently decided to only offer the more expensive version with the lights.
The price was stiff, but this seemed like a once in a lifetime chance to own this beautiful Replica. I ordered first thing on the 23rd and had a tiny bit of trouble getting my order to go through, but not too much. It processed 6-7 minutes after the ordering period opened and I got ship #65.
Carmie, I also hope that as many as these ships as possible will be going to good homes among people who appreciate them. That's a nice thought.
Speaking of nice, after a long time waiting I finally was around for an open registration period, just joined, and this is my first post! Thank you for having me. =)

But the Serenity would be perfect office desk decore -- maybe it could be a business expense of some sort. If insurance company executives are Firefly fans, these will sell.

Any way. Digression aside - why do companies seem to all assume that collectors have bottomless pockets? It's rather rude, in my opinion. I get "you pay for the quality" but...that's more than my car cost!
