hi Chris Barnardo i just want to thank you. i received my tricorder i’t Wonderfull now i have the complete landing party set. the phaser the communicator and now the tricorder and also the mood rock. Chris you and your team at the wand Company do fantastic work. it would be great if sometime in the future you would make dr McCoy scanner or the tricorder and phaser from Star Trek the next generation or even better a transporter device so I can transport my self back to Vulcan that would be logical just a thought. anyway thank you and your team and all Star Trek fans on the forum that support the wand company’s great props live long and prosper.

I expected a quick response from this group on my measurement request. My guess is the only delay came from one group trying to deciding which of their many calipers they were going to use and another group wondering if they would report imperial or metric.

I always go imperial because I'm a deeply and fervently jingoistic American. However, it's fair to note Wand went metric all the way with the tricorder. I think we fought a whole revolution to get away from the metric system, but that's just me.

In Star Trek, they used Imperial as well. So……THE TRICORDER IS NOT SCREEN ACCURATE! I demand retooling…NOW!

Would have been nice if there was an Imperial/Metric toggle. Just saying.

Maybe we'll get that in a future update? We can always hope...

Here's a FIFTY SEVEN minute long review from Captain Foley.

Hard pass. If you can't say it in five minutes, I'm not interested. My favorites are the two-hour reviews of 10-minute short films. Some people just love to hear themselves talk.

Ja, don't really like AI voices in a review! But received mine today....
I really like the weight and feel of the unit! Navigation is something to get used too.
Screen is excellent for the size. That the three crystals can change to any colour is also impressive!
The speaker is really clear and very bright! It feels good in the hand with or without the case
The stand is also a nice touch!

Hope they rerelease some of the previous TOS gadgets again or a slightly different version of them

Happy that I got it!

How did he get one ahead of us?

Nope!

If I’m going to invest an hour, it won’t be to a YouTuber.

Note I didn't say it was a good thing. LOL

These Youtubers often confuse long videos with good videos.

It was true in Hamlet, and it's exponentially truer on YT: Brevity is the soul of wit.

Being an Admiral has it's benefits...

His Trekyards rank is Captain.

 

[Captain Dunsel]

His Trekyards rank is Captain.

OK…OK…OK…

I am going to try to re-read that sentence again and will try not to giggle out loud…

His “Trekyards Rank” is “Captain”.

I can’t do it! I can’t do it!

Can one be accused of stolen valor if one claims they are “Captain of the Trekyards”?

How did he get one ahead of us?

A few people got one ahead of the rest of us when they first went on sale last month. As for whether or not they should have been able to order one is a moot point since they did and the rest of us will have to wait until sometime in June, at least according to Chris.
