Just to avoid any misunderstandings, this is NOT one of our (GZG) models!! It's a ready-painted plastic model of one of Serenity's two shuttles (from Firefly). I just took some photos of my own one with a few of our figures, at Mark's request.
I found them on the internet, from a Sci-Fi company (Alter Ego Comics), for $12.00 each, but shipping domestically here in the USA was another $10.00 each, so not the best deal from that standpoint.
I bought 3 of the 4 they had in stock.
Apparently, they retail for around $30 each, but some seem to be selling them for $25.00. I've seen one company list the retail price as $40.00 as well, but I believe they are just inflating the price.
Check Amazon, which lists a few for $14.99, plus about $6.00+ for shipping in the USA. I didn't purchase through them, since they don't take Paypal. Not sure what international shipping runs.
There are some on e-Bay as well.
I would have liked four, but couldn't justify the cost for the extra unit, so the support squad will be flying in, shortly after the other troops land.
Jon - I tried Forbidden Planet today and couldn't fing any - I would have bought 3 or 4 if I had found them. Anyway all these posts just show the demand for cool shuttles like this. How about GZG making some?
That is a very nice looking, futuristic craft.

ReplyDeleteJon.
Thanks for sharing the pics of the NI troops with the shuttle.
ReplyDeleteThey look great together.
You are a bad influence though, since I just had to order three to support a platoon of drop troops.....
Where did you find them, and how much were they?
ReplyDeleteThis is for other folks' info, 'cos I've already got three for myself!
Jon.
Oh man !!!!
ReplyDeleteIts perfect,
and in tone with my Traveller RPG which is based on Firefly ship...
I need one !
But i cant pay 30 pounds ;/
And 20 + shipping would cost me that much ;(
I will have to look through ebay...
Ive managed to snatch cheap Final fantasy lander, maybe i will see Inaras shuttle at affordable price too
If anyone see it cheaper than retail price anywhere please tell us:>

Some shop called White Wizard got them for 15 $
ReplyDeletebut when i saw 43 $ cheapest shipping to me (Poland) i was sad...
But maybe they have cheaper shipping to the US, and they have pickup on site opction here (Chicago IIRC)

For those not wanting to pay for the model, I see a computer mouse, some model airplane parts and a scratchbuilt cockpit there.

Mine just arrived. Great shuttle for 15mm games. Thanks for the pointer!
