 A realy great prop from diamond select July 16, 2009

Although the silver parts were painted and not metal. This is a great prop for the money the sound effects and working minore were great I bought the master replicas prop and love it also. But when you look at going out for halloween or sci fi events and dressing up. Taking the expensive tricorder was kinda scary so this diamond select prop for the money is great not only dose it look and sound like the prop if something happens to it. Heaven forbid then you have not invested alot of money in it so for the toy itself I give it a great review.
And if you missed out on the master replicas tricorder although the diamond select one is not as nice it is worth the money. Oh yes even though the light up scanner (Where is that used in the original series?)
it is nice and fun to play with.
I love these! August 9, 2009

I am so happy to have received my tricorders (4 science and 2 medical)! They do way more than I thought they would for the cheap price, and the extra hand-held devices are a very cool extra! Also, the adjustability of the shoulder straps is a great detail. As far as quality, I did not go into this blind...I've had to return defective phasers and communicators for perfect ones. I expected to have to do the same with at least 2 of these tricorders, but there's a fixable issue on one only...the rest are great! The detail on these pieces is awesome...yeah, you have to be careful of the silver paint, but a little touch up once in a while won't kill me if I feel like being that anal. I think I will see about making real leather straps, but the vinyl ones are okay and the packing kinks iron out easily enough...be sure to use a pressing cloth so you you don't melt the vinyl! After all these years, I now am finally (and gratefully) ready to fully outfit a landing party of 6!! Energize...hailing frequencies closed.

Back in the 1990s, certain attempts were made at making toys from Star Trek TOS. They were ok. I got them, but they always seemed to lack a bit in the credible department. Then the new movie came out this year, and I came across the communicator and phaser from Diamond Select Toys. Not only were they replicas, it was like I had just went through the backstage of filming and got the actual props of the TV Show! My kids are into Star Trek, and since I turned out ok... I have passed on these wonderful toys to them. There is nothing like the power of imagination! It inspires the soul and adds a level of excitement to life that video games just can't match! The tricorder was our latest toy, and oh boy oh boy is this one simply amazing!
Exactly what I expected, maybe even better February 3, 2010

I read most of the other reviews before taking the plunge and ordering my own. I was prepared for a cheaply built and imperfect toy. I figured for less than $30 it was worth a try. The seller's note warned that the package was crushed but the product was undamaged. That's exactly what I got. The package wasn't even that bad, but I don't care, I want to play with it - not display it in the box.
I opened it up and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't even have to put in batteries. It was ready to go. I just had to switch from demo mode to normal on. I tried to figure out all the features without reading the instructions and thought at first it wasn't working properly. Once I read the instructions, I found everything worked perfectly.
It's not quite perfect. There is a tiny little flaw on part of the silver plastic (no biggy). There is a little wrinkle in the image of the view screen, but it's not very noticable and only from an angle. The sound clips of Spock sound like they may be just a touch fast, but still sound good.
I took it to work and all my nerdy engineer buddies love it! My boss looked a photo of an original prop from the series and was impressed at how similar this one looks. I think the manufacturer has done a good job.
I'm very pleased and having fun with it. I can hardly wait to order a communicator and a phaser next!
