Star Trek: Light-and-Sound Tricorder (RP Minis) Paperback – 3 May 2018

it's a fun thing to have ,stickers are fiddly but a great price

Quite small, but A well appreciated gift.

The media could not be loaded. Yey! I recieved my replica Tricorder today. In the box was the Tricorder and the little book. Also stickers to add to the Tricorder. At first I was looking for a button to hear the sound effects. But couldn't hear a thing. 🤦 I had forgotten to take out the strip of plastic from battery. I opened the Tricorder and there it was the iconic sound effects and lights. I am made up with this Tricorder. Even though its smaller than the real one used in Star Trek. All the same I'm I got something that replicate an item from my favourite Tv/movie.

This a fantastic little electronic tricorder with lights and sounds. It's s based on the model (Mark VI) seen in the first two seasons of The Next Generation (fans of TNG will know this early model was also seen in the beginning of season 3, before we got the new Mark VI and VII models).At first glance it does look like a happy meal toy, but the stickers and lights soon make up for the tricorders apparent blank appearance. The lights are not entirely accurate they appear to be toned down, theres lots of blue, some orange and pink but its not much to loose any sleep over. Buyers have to apply the stickers themselves, do take care, as removing and realigning them is incredibly difficult. Luckily I managed to ace mine first time. My only serious complaint is the sound which is way too loud. The 48 page booklet is a great little read and relays knowledge of tricorders from all Trek shows.Overall, I stand by the five star rating, its no Mark X, but this tricorder is affordable, functional, has accurate stickers, great lights and the size is quite good. This is a must have for all fans of Trek!

As a Star Trek geek, this is a great little toy. It's only half the size of the original prop, but it makes up for that in functionality. It begins making the iconic scanning noise as soon as it opens, and they've added a ratchet mechanism to the hinge, so it makes a fairly good approximation of the clicking noise when you open and close it.Stickers can be a tad fiddly to install, but with a bit of patience you'll get them aligned well.There's no interactivity, no buttons to do anything it just cycles through a light show while making the noise.Not really good for cosplay due to the size being wrong, but it makes a good toy and it's about the best prop replica being produced on the market at the moment.

It comes in a little box with a book about it and the instructions on where each sticker goes, you have to put all the stickers in place on the device and it opens and closed

For the price you pay why would you not and it’s a good conversation starter ie what is that on your shelf? Are you sure you are a grown up? No I'm not and NEVER WILL BE! ( some thing like that) 😁😈

I love gadgets & this really is good value for the money,lights & sound effects are good,you do have to stick on some transfers they are numbered so you shouldn't go wrong there,i did I put one on upside down (My fault entirely ) The only comment I would make is its a shame the outside of the tricorder is just plain grey plastic when closed,apart from that its really quite well made.
