Guy by the name of GeekyTom has pout together a pretty incredible landing party prop set using Lego.
The tricorder is fully-functional, with opening and closing panels and working lights. He's got a video of it on his Flickr page, which I'm not able to embed. Anyway, his Flickr stream is here. Tric video should be the first item in it.
God, I'd love to have these as kits.
