My fiance was also under the impression that it was supposed to come with a t-shirt, so she's not real happy either.

The pistol was on my shopping list as well, for a while, but a buddy of mine bought one and we were both underwhelmed by it.
However, I have QMX's Big Damn Heroes statue of River Tam, and it's pretty cool. The likeness is far from accurate, but like many of their statues and figures, they were going for a stylized look, so the likeness is forgivable, especially since I got it for a great price on Cyber Monday a few years ago.

I have, however, heard great things about QMX's 1:6 scale figure of Mal.
I had planned to spend some of my tax return on him, or buy him as a birthday gift for myself, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Typically, I can't bring myself to pay for high-end figures, like Hot Toys' stuff, but I love Firefly SOOOO much, and this figure is priced fairly reasonably for a figure of its type, so I'm sure I would eventually be angry at myself if I pass on it.

If I remember correctly, I think they allow you to buy older boxes as an add-on when you buy the current month's box. I'm not 100% sure about that though.
I know that that is how Funko does it for their various Pop boxes, and I seem to remember Loot Crate having the same approach.
