Before anyone gets annoyed, the left hand one is the first one I was sent a few weeks ago that had a fault out of the box and is being returned. I just wanted to get a few shots side by side with the different screens.
In full credit to the WandCo they got a new one to me before asking for the faulty one to be replaced. The customer service is top notch.

I hope they make TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT replicas next. Their attention to detail is great...unlike another company out there at the moment making woefully inaccurate Trek replicas.
what was wrong with it?
 
I've spent the last few days making a medical and science scanner to display with the Wand tricorder. The various parts were designed in Tinkercad and printed on my little Elegoo Mars resin printer, then painted in various rattlecans and AK Interactive Xtreme Metal paints. The clear part of the medical scanner is made from acrylic tube / sheet. They will have electronics in them eventually, so will have the sounds, the spinning sensor in the medical scanner, and the colour-shifting light in the science scanner, but I'm still waiting on a few components to be able to finish that up. They're far from completely screen accurate, but they pass (and they both fit the bottom compartment of the tricorder - though not at the same time!). :D

Um… here’s a glitch. If you go to Amazon.de you can order a tricorder and it will deliver to a U.S. address. I was just there and it said it could deliver to me by June 14th.

323 euros, $366 US dollars.

Plus 25 eros delivery, $28 US dollars.
I literally was about to say this, it's exactly what I've done! Fingers crossed that it will get shipped haha
 
For what it’s worth, I was able to order (Friday night 5/30) from Amazon.DE with delivery to the USA. Supposed to be delivered this week via expedited delivery. We shall see…
I hope it works out for you. I will have to wait, some more...
 
Yes I just tried to do that, placed the order for 1, got the order confirmation by email. Went back to the Amazon.de, for whatever reason it made me change my password, then once I did that, I went back to my email and clicked the link to view the order, poof it was gone like it never happened. And no past orders.
 
I was able to order one to ship to the US, my bank had me verify that it wasn't fraudulent other than that looks like the order went through.

If it's available through Amazon US this week I MIGHT order a second.
 
It will be interesting to see if the 30% tariff gets charged when it enters the US, if it gets turned back, or if it gets delivered with no tariff charged.
