I have LBBs 0-4. Does one need more than that?

Hahahaha!  Need....
 

Ha. Right.

I always figured books 0-3 were all one would need to run a Firefly game. Seems like the perfect candidate if you just replace interstellar jumps with in-system engine burns.

Me, too! Stupid big ocean in the way.

I appreciate the advice!  I do like the Third Imperium setting, but it's a moot point anyway.  Traveller is third in line (behind the AS&SH and AD&D campaigns I'm currently also not running), so I would say the chances of me ever actually running CT are pretty close to zero.  It's pure collecting for the sake of collecting.

No shame! It's all grist for the DM brain mill!

Most recent stuff for me were used but complete copies of Panzer Leader and Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, both by Avalon Hill.  Found them at Half-Price Books for $10 each.

Other than that, I picked up yet another set of Gamescience dice, in opaque Black.  With that, I'm officially done buying old GS dice, as I own enough for 10 of us.

I'd say of the books beyond the the first three Supplement 4 Citizens of the Imperium could also be useful for a Firefly type campaign with the additional non-military character types.

Fair point: I have a spare copy, too. I'd also recommend Supplement 2: Animal Encounters, but it's not essential.

Cool! Now, if you could just please make each weekend about three times as long, I think I can start running campaigns out of this stuff!

I love boards like this one. They help shape my wish lists.

My own last purchase was AS&SH and some Reaper Bones minis from Noble Knight. My last actual purchase was for my wife: dice at the FLGS.
