Serenity - QMx's Serenity Ship Papers

Far as spelling errors on props, check the cover of Inara's "Privileges & Principals of Companion" book or "Shepard Book"s Ident card.
I printed a Book Ident card, typo and all, and had Ron Glass sign it.

As Tif said earlier those are REAL props.

A classic example of 'unusual spelling' is this:

If you buy a replica prop and it's been sanitised and corrected and straightened it's not a replica prop anymore, its an interpretation.

Now i fully accept that a lot of real props close-up look appalling! (I am lucky to own a couple of original props myself) and perhaps some interpretation HAS to take place, sometimes from a safety aspect.

Mistakes and weathering and scratches and dents, if they appear on the real prop just add to the authenticity IMHO. :)

Actually no they haven't as was said earlier. We still haven't seen an actual prop replica successfully released yet.

My greatest concern is that they have already taken the money for the dog tags and have yet to produce them. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, as I did like the Serenity Money Pack, but in the strictest sense of the word, they are engaging in credit card fraud. Taking money for something that hasn't been produced yet. Most reputable places (like Amazon) will not charge your credit card on a pre-order item until the order is about to be shipped. They will just hold the order in limbo until they get stocked. That is the proper (and legal) way of doing business. QMx charged my card the second I placed the order back on January 18, 2007, and they have so far missed every release time that they were claiming these things were supposed to be available. Like I said, I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as I do realize they are a small company, but their historical business practices are starting to drop them several notches in my book.

They should deliver on the things they've promised and stop promising more stuff that they'll likely have continued issues on fulfilling.

And I'm still waiting for answers to my emails on this issue. Their response time to inquiries is also historically abhorrent, and I will NOT be going away on this one. :angry

If anyone from QMx is lurking around here and reading this, you might want to get your act together, guys. Credit fraud can end a company REAL quick, and I bet I'm not the only one to whom this has happened.
 
I just got my set and I have to say that I'm real happy with them. In all honesty, they're not just a simple paper prop. There are a number of details that make them really neat. Different paper is used on different documents and there's a cool little metal "pin" with some Alliance symbol (I assume) holding onto the receipt for Serenity. It think it's been mentioned before, but there's some hidden paper-clipped bribe money in there too. QMX could have just stuck a bunch of prints into the leather wallet and be done with it, but they didn't... some extra effort was put into the details.

The set could do with a bit of weathering and some coffee, gunpowder and blood stains but other than that I have no complaints.
 
Dude, not everything needs to be bloody.:lol

I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt. It is troubling that they immediately charged credit cards for product that they weren't ready to ship. I seriously hope they succeed. We need a quality producer of Firefly and Galactica props.
 
I agree

I ordered my Ships Papers on Aug 26, I just received an e-mail a few days ago saying they'd ship in 2 weeks. The payment went through immediately, but I have to wait for over a month for my puchase:unsure.

When I ordered the Serenity fan club money pack, it was here within a week, I wonder if they were not prepared for the large amount of orders coming right away and fell behind.

I need my papers, I'm starting to go into withdrawl:cry
 
So does anyone know what QMx has planned for the 30th? There is a Serenity-related teaser headline at the top of their website.

I don't, but I bet it has something to do with the post about a "Serenity promotion" that is up on Serenity Stuff right now.

Tinfoil hats, anyone? :confused
 
I know, a very late start here. I would still love to find a set of the ships papers and leather carrying case. When all this was huge (more so hen now) I was out of the country with the military (lovely SWA) doing a few tours. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Yellowjacket and Badger did a run over on fireflyprops.net about a year ago. You could contact them and see if it's possible to make another from the run. I personally just got the papers and not the wallet and they were exceptional.

Otherwise, post a WTB thread in the marketplace to see if anyone will sell theirs. There are a few different sets out there. The whitefall pre-QMX set, the QMX set and the set from the run I mentioned. Plus there are some free papers posted in the paper props threads and ships papers threads at Fireflyprops.net.

Good Luck.
