Finally, a collectible that's actually useful for something!

The limited edition version of these Star Trek Starfleet Academy Titanium Sporks engraved with the Starfleet logo and motto sold out quickly,  but you can get these standard issue eating utensils right away. Nosh like a Starfleet officer!

Just like the one Kirk used while a student (perhaps even while planning to cheat at the Kobayashi Maru scenario), these are laser engraved with the Starfleet emblem and other stuff which we'll tell you about soon. And remember, we know how important it is for you to hold a replica of Spock's Student Spork at the premier of the new movie! Live long, and prosper.

TFAW is having it's annual spring cleaning sale, with some items up to 70% off — so far — and there's some excellent deals in there.

Such as, say, the Inara Shuttle Ornament from Dark Horse for only $8.99, and the Reaver Ornament for only $11.99!

And Geoffrey Mandel's wonderful "Worlds of the Alliance" lithograph, designed for but never used in Serenity, and Ben Mund's  gorgeous Serenity Valley map, both originally $39.95, are now just $11.98. Regular price was $39.95, this is an amazing deal.

Go check the rest of their stuff, it'll be marked down to 70% off till May 24th, when it goes to 80%. Books, comics, statues, toys, collectibles, over 1,400 items all incredibly cheap. Don't miss out!

I dunno how Creation Entertainment seems to get this stuff before anyone else – often months before it shows up in retail stores – but they do, and they did again. Now at their store, just in time for this year's Salute to Firefly and Serenity, are more cool new stuff.

There's a nicely done Serenity ship shirt that's sure to turn some heads, a Blue Sun shot glass (for when you're not yet drunk enough to drink from the bottle), and a Blue Sun frosted shooter (for when you almost are). Head to the Creation store to check them out, as well as lots of stuff (and autographed pictures!) from previous cons.

And don't miss the con itself, which features Jewel Staite, Ron Glass, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, and a very rare appearance by Gina Torres. Plus you get entertainment from our own Sing a Song of Saffron contest winner, Marian Call. It doesn't get any better than that, legally. Nov. 22-23, in Burbank, CA.

Hmm.

UPDATED: Dark Horse hsa cancelled their proposed Serenity laser-etched lucite ornament. According to Dark Horse:

"The market didn't show any significant support for the lucite ornament during the solicitation period, so we were forced to make the unfortunate decision to cancel production."

TFAW has sent cancellations to early buyers and updated the product page.

Sorry folks, no paperweight yet.

Well, not here, precisely, but at a comics store near you. Or at TFAW.com, which has 'em at 10% off. There's two designs:

The Serenity lunchbox: “With the Serenity logo in brilliant litho-printed color on one side, and the ship herself on the other, bordered by the exotic intergalactic currency created for the film, this makes a striking lunch box for any Serenity fan to tote around.”

And the Fruity Oaty Bar lunchbox: “Serenity fans everywhere will be able to recognize each other when carrying the cute and colorful lunch box bearing the iconic images from the “Fruity Oaty Bar” commercial. If you know Fruity Oaty Bar, you know your Serenity! This attractive lunch box is an insider’s dream come true. Wow!”

These are also the perfect size for stashing your collector cards and spare Fruity Oaty bars. Stock up!

TFAW has Dark Horse's latest Serenity items available for preorder at 20% off retail:

Serenity: Better Days trade paperback, just $7.96 (retail $9.95). Ships Oct. 29.

Serenity laser-etched lucite ornament, just $13.59 (retail $16.99). Ships Oct. 8.

You're gonna get 'em anyway, why not save a few credits?

Lookie, lookie here. In the August solicitations, Dark Horse lists a laser-engraved lucite Serenity ornament.

Joss Wheden’s blockbuster Serenity continues to capture the attention of fans of fantastic adventure. Dark Horse is pleased to support the “browncoats” with the next in our series of Serenity themed ornaments.

We have scanned the Serenity ship and using the wonders of modern science, crafted it as a wire frame 3D image inside a 4" x 4" clear lucite cube. This process has allowed us to acheive an unprecedented level of accurate detail.

We are adding a mechanism of ribbon that can be glued to the cube for hanging display, but as with most ofther “tombstone”-style collectibles, it may be best displayed sitting on a window sill or over a small LED light base. The LED light, commonly available on the open market, is NOT a part of the package.

That last part sounds kinda defensive, but otherwise it looks good. 4"x4", clear lucite. Coming Oct. 8, $16.99 (preorder it from TFAW for 20% off!)

The latest in Kids Need to Read auctions to benefit underfunded schools and libraries is this hard-to-find dogtag from Quantum Mechanix, signed by KNtR buddy Nathan Fillion.

You can’t understand the character of Malcolm Reynolds without understanding the Battle of Serenity Valley where the Independents held out against unbelievable odds. Kids Need to Read Charity Auctions is giving you a chance to own a memento of the experience that shaped this burdened, complex man – a Sgt. Malcolm Reynolds dog tag signed by Nathan Fillion, the actor who brought him to life with such conviction and depth. This is a fantastic reminder of one of the most intriguing and compelling of all Joss Whedon’s characters.

The dog tag is brand new, made of high-quality metal plate with enamel and measures approximately 5 cm x 2.5 cm. A black rubber silencer and chain is included.

The auction starts now and ends May 9th. Good luck!
