Note the handy inserts advertising more Serenity stuff (for actual stuff, not for this site, unfortunately), some of which hasn’t actually been officially announced yet, so you’ll have another surprise waiting for you.
Not so big on surprises. Anyone have any info?

(edit)

Looking at the picture it looks like QMx prop stuff.

I wanted to preorder Mal's pistol from them, but wasn't too big on the hassel of getting it shipped to Canada.

Unless I'm missing it, it doesn't look like this set has that awesome Q&A from the R4 set. IMO, that was the best feature on the set. It was a somwhat lengthy Q&A that took place after a screening in Austrailia that was reminscent of Kevin Smith's "Evening With.." stuff except with Joss in his place. Not that I care, since I didn't have any intention of parting with the R4 CE, but it's a shame if it didn't make the cut...

I am psyched about a double dip and I haven't even finished disc 2 of the series yet! I really dig what I have seen so far and I'll be hitting Best Buy on Tuesday...

As I was posting that, Stephen Hunter uttered the following phrase on Ebert & Roeper: "an actor named Alan Too-dyke ... never heard of him ..." I don't expect every Pulitzer Prize winner to know who actors are, but when they win for "film criticism", you'd think they'd have a clue. Alan completely stole the show in Dodgeball, was hilarious in Knocked Up, and had a major role in I, Robot. Those are some pretty big titles, not to mention his starring role in Spamalot. How can a professional film critic not know who he is?

I appreciated the effort, thank you scott. And you too, Das, of course.

I can see why Stephen Hunter might not know who Alex is, but it's another thing to make a point that he doesn't know who he is.

He was also very funny in A Knight's Tale.

I've been playing with the set after the gym this morning and I feel like as if there's still a bunch more material they could've thrown on the set. Especially since the second disc only lasts about an hour (give or take).

They should've thrown on the Browncoats Screening cut as well as the CineMedia EPK on that second disc just for good measure... but alas... no...

The free Serenity comic at Best Buy is a mini-comic of the 1st issue of "Those Left Behind." Nice paper quality but what sucks about it is due to the way they made the Serenity packaging, it won't fit in the case. You can shove it into the front window but then it screws with the box art.

I was hoping for a new original comic but figured that was unlikely.

In Canada, it looks like HMV has this for C$18.99 according to their website. Is there anywhere else with it cheaper? BB is C$19.99 and FS is C$21.99.

Nice, I was going to pick it up at BB, but now I'll save the buck.

That really stinks that it won't fit in the package well. Oh well, it was a nice thought as a bonus anyway.

cool packaging. shelfwise, the thickness of the box makes it complement the firefly box more.

Is the packaging bilingual in Canada?
