Until Joss Whedon turned me into a fanboy with his excellent Buffy and Angel, and yes, Firefly/Serenity. If I have to look like a complete geek walking into my professional job in a large corporation as I near 50 years of age, then by gawd I'll do so with this handsome lunchbox proudly in tow. My ONLY complaint is that it could be a little sturdier. It feels a little light, and closes just the tiniest bit lopsided, and always has. I can' help thinking that my childhood Green Hornet lunchbox was a little tougher.

O crap I've always been like this, haven't I? You're off the hook, Mr. Whedon.

Nice graphics. Well made. STD lunch box size. A nice item for fans of Firefly / Serenity. Can be used to store more than lunch.

Would recommend for creative members of the Browncoat / Firefly / Serenity fan base.

It's a standard metal lunch box with pictures from the movie "Serenity" on it. I was able to fit most of my Firefly and Serenity DVDs, Blu-rays, and HD-DVDs into it (but not all of them, because God help me I have all four US releases of the movie (2 on DVD, one on BD, one on HD-DVD) plus both DVD and BD versions of the series. But it's a Serenity lunch box! And it was cheap!

I am 26 and I take this to work with me. I'm an engineer so most of my colleagues recognize it right off. They think it's awesome. Holds a decent amount of food, too. After a few days I could fit a soda, a sandwich, some fruits and veggies and some snacks and still close the lid.

Pros:
It marks you a the true nerd you are.
It's got pretty graphics on it.

Cons:
It is a little flimsy. Mine was missing a rivet when it arrived. Not to fret though, its plenty sturdy for carrying lunches in.
It is a little small for toting multiple reusable containers in. (I hate to throw away plastic bags.)

Meh:
Lame "galactic currency" around the edges. It could be lamer and have portraits though.

The detail and artwork on this lunchbox has been well thought out. it looks really good. the only issue i have with it is that the latch is more than a little flimsy, and you gotta be really careful (significant fiddling!)to ensure it is fully latched before picking it up. also if you have something heavy (soda can, for example) in it, it is best to locate it up against the hinges in the box, because the weight of it pushing on the 'lid' (when you hold the lunchbox by the handle) is enough to pop it open. Otherwise it's fine. It is a decent size for a packed lunch including a soda.
