The latest in my "Dehoard Me" project was just posted. It's the hard-to-find Firefly trading cards binder, from the late, lamented Inkworks. It's in great condition, still shiny and crisp and clean, and it contains the basic 72-card "Firefly: The Complete Collection" set as well as the one-sheet promo ad flyer for the series, four [...]
Read MoreNext up in my dehoarding efforts: Autographs! I love collecting autographs. I love the connection you get with a personal hero. Sure, it's a fleeting one, one they'll undoubtedly forget almost immediately. But you'll still have that memento, that proof that you once met this person and got to talk to him or her about [...]
Read MoreIn an interview with Assignment X, Tim Minear suggested one thing he's learned from his many cancelled shows: avoid the confusing, one-word title. Well, I knew this going back to – pretty much every show that I’ve worked on has had a terrible title. WONDERFALLS doesn’t tell you anything, THE INSIDE doesn’t tell you anything, [...]
Read MoreSo Titan Books came out with the Serenity Companion, which included the screenplay and interviews and behind-the-scenes stuff and tons of pictures and was exceedingly good. Then they produced two Firefly Companions, which contained scripts from all the episodes as well as even more interviews and pictures and insider stuff, and they were also exceedingly [...]
Read MoreA few months ago QMx announced their first official Firefly item (as opposed to their Serenity items, you see; they acquired the Firefly license from FOX). What could they do to make something cool, affordable, and personal? A pocket-sized Firefly for your very own, of course! About 2" long, made of solid metal with a [...]

The Firefly Replica Keychain was created using the TV series' special effects files and carefully scaling them [...]
Read MoreAs reported last week, based on Jane Espenson's tweet about it, some of the writers from Firefly have been working on original short stories set in the Firefly universe. The writers include Jane, Jose Molina, Ben Edlund, and Brett Matthews, according to various reports. Jane's story will be a short one, around 2,000 words. In [...]
Read MoreAnnounced at the Creation con yesterday, QMx will soon be making officially licensed collectibles for Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. We're talking props, ships, t-shirts, maquettes and novelties (keychains, bumper stickers, etc.) So what do you want to see? Me, I'd suggest for replica catalyzers, blinking van-top bombs with magnetic bottoms for personal use, [...]
Read MoreFor the next two weeks (until Nov. 14) Best Buy has the Firefly DVD set on sale for $12.99. Doesn't get much cheaper than this, and you won't find a better return on your investment. For less than a buck an episode, you can get some of the best entertainment ever put on TV. More [...]
Read MoreThe massive props store 20th Century Props is going out of business and holding an auction for its final pieces, and there's quite a bit of familiar stuff in there. Wooden chairs, furniture and assorted background props from Firefly (such as the neon Chinese character sign to the right), what looks like the pool table [...]
