So there I am, putting up a post saying that my store will give away mini-posters and sets of postcards and big quad-posters to anyone who comes in and tell us they're a Firefly / Serenity fan and do you know how many people have done so..?

I'll tell you - NONE! A big fat zero!

Come on, if this is the level of enthusiasm us UK Browncoats are showing, there's NO WAY our support will help the BDM become BDM 2!!

Pull your fingers out and come get some FREE Serenity goodies!

I always wanted to be a Liverpudlian. Does that count?

If that's the British poster, I'll send you the money for postage.


*tries her best Jedi mind tricks*

This is the poster you wish to mail to Minnesota. This poster belongs to Knibblet in St. Paul.....

You have fans here! That's what the internet is for. I'll love some of those freebies, even if it isn't "free". You'll probably get more interest after the movie opens.

Okay, here's how it is:

Expecting more enthusiasm for freebies, I rang the UK film company and they very kindly sent me another 500 (yes 500!) of the mini-posters to give to customers and Browncoats.

Now, in light of the poor response from local fans, I am prepared to send some of these babies out to anyone anywhere if they want 'em...

We may however have to come to some sort of arrangement about shipping costs, as I can't pay to ship 'em all out around the globe...I will only charge actual shipping and cost on packaging materials (tubes, most likely, unless you want your poster folded...).

So, first come, first served.

I have in excess of 800 mini-posters, maybe 20 or so sets of 5 postcards and I have a small number of the large cinema-sized quad posters (maybe half a dozen or so), these big boys can go to the first people to e-mail me (exquemeling@ntlworld.com) with their request and planned method of payment for shipping.

C'mon folks get 'mailing...

Knibblet and Sherlockc, you two are in the privileged position of being first in line...send me your details, guys...um, gal in Knibblets case!

I'm thinking mailing tube and postage ... I'm planning on sending 10 pounds (or equivalent).

Right. I checked at the post office today.

Tubes cost £0.98

Shipping costs £4.79 for airmail (2-4 days)
or £2.51 for surface (2-8 weeks!)

Using the currency converter at http://www.xe.com/ucc
these figures are converted to

Tubes $1.75
Airmail $8.50
Surface $4.45

Let me know how you'd like your stuff sent...

Cheers

Chris

Well, I went to one of the 1st afternoon screenings in Liverpool, there were all of around 15 people watching with me, and on a fairly small screen too which was dissappointing. Don't know what it would be like in the evening. Better I hope!!!
I plan to go again next week, so we'll see.


Yep ......................... that went well!
