"The Wand Company" classic Tricorder

Well I got my email and was able to place an order. Arriving tomorrow apparently!
Update us when you have it! ...If you want to. :)

I missed what must have been a reasonably short window. I'm back on the mailing list for the next round.
 
It arrived safe and sound and I've had a bit of a play with it. It's great!

I don't have the phaser to compare, but build quality is very similar to the excellent communicator. i.e. the casing is quite plasticky, but it's solid and heavy with the metal frame.

The screen looks great, the moire is fab and the motor is not too noisy, and the speaker is loud and clear.

I've not tried all the different modes yet but love the prop setting, and the fact that it's an actual practical sensor device. Ok, it can't quite scan for life signs yet, but temp, humidity, altitude, sound levels and even live wires is pretty cool!

They put a lot of thought and love into this thing, and I think it's a fair price for a high-end prop replica packed with features. It's half the price of the Factory Entertainment TNG Tricorder and looks much closer to the screen-used props.
