Head over there quick, the Sell-O-Meter is on the move! And the site seems oddly sluggish, as if there were a bunch of people clicking on it. Huh. Only 750 for sale, these limited edition blueprints will not be produced again. UPDATE: They’ve been on sale a little over an hour, and they appear to be almost half gone. Just sayin’.

Blueprints countdown – Interview with Geoff Mandel and Andy Gore

Just hours away now, as Browncoats begin massing outside QMx’s website to get one of the limited edition sets of official Serenity blueprints, it’s time to talk to two of the people behind them. The blueprints, 10 18″x24″ full-color and insanely detailed pages, were carefully crafted by Geoffrey Mandel (graphic designer for the movie) and Tim Earls (who created the original drawings of the ship for the TV show CG models and was set designer for the movie). An amazing amount of resources were tapped for this design including the original drawings, the CG models, the set blueprints, and thousands of screenshots to make sure that this was as close to canon as it could possibly be.

I talked to Geoff and Andy Gore, director of Quantum Mechanix, about the […]

Gettin’ closer… QMx has the blueprints on their site now, but don’t get too excited; the Add to Cart button doesn’t work yet. The countdown is on! There’s also some new info about shipping. The prints will be in a gloss-black tube with special twist-lock ends so they stay secure. The tube will be in shrink-wrap and then inside a mailing box. $15 for shipping in the US. And the Sell-O-Meter is a nice touch. Tick, tick, tick… Confused about the times? Here’s when it goes on sale, according to the QMx Insider: America/New York – 11:59 p.m. EDT, 4/7 America/Chicago – 10:59 p.m. CDT, 4/7 America/Denver – 9:59 p.m. MDT, 4/7 America/Los Angeles -8:59 p.m. PDT, 4/7 America/Honolulu -5:59 p.m. HST, 4/7 Australia/Sydney – 1:59 p.m. EST, 4/8 Japan/Tokyo – 12:59 JST, 4/8 Europe/Berlin – 5:59 CEST, 4/8 Europe/London – 4:59 a.m. BST 4/8
