 Sorry - Disappointed!Jul 07, 2009
By E. Goldblatt
"Clearsky"
I'm sorry to ruin the other reviews of this product, but here it goes! I'm a BIG collector of Star Trek and other Sci-Fi and Space related props, toys, and models (just ask my wife - she thinks I have way to much stuff!). Anyway, to be honest, I'm pretty disappointed in this product. The operative word for the review is CHEAP (1)!
The Tricorder is VERY cheaply (2) made - both in looks and finish. I do like this sounds and lights (hence the 2 stars), but the unit itself is - well - cheap (3)! I know the price was very reasonable, but I think it could have been much better, even if it would be a bit more expensive. The stickers/decals are hard to read and cheaply (4) placed, the front mirror/silver finish just looks bad (hard to explain), and the unit feels - again - cheap (5). As mentioned above, I have many many other prop\toys (Art Asylum, Matchbox, Playmate, etc) and this one is the cheesiest and cheapest (6) one I own, I probably will not display with my other stuff - way to cheap (7). Sorry! P.S. I think that is a record for someone using cheap (8) in a review!

It's a Toy, not a collectable.Jun 01, 2010
By Talvi
This is a toy - or for something to use with a costume - and not a collectable. The price reflects that. I bought it so my 7 year old could use it with her Uhura costume and she's quite content with it. I don't expect it to be sitting on a shelf somewhere in a display cabinet or for it to outlast the pasta in the cupboard. :)

Cheap looking, Cheap sound, Awkward flip panelDec 01, 2009
By C. Gabriel
I bought this as I liked the new sound effects and electronics from the new Star Trek movie (even though the Tricorder was not even used in the movie for some reason) but have to say this is cheap looking, the sounds are cheap and dont continue they only last a few seconds and you have to press the button again. It should have a constant sound. The front flap flips open and sticks straight up which makes it hard to push the buttons. Whoever made this should be fired.
I own the Tricorder from Next Generation and it is much better, as well as the iPhone Tricorder apps with are even better and have authentic sound that continues while you are scanning.
DONT BUY THIS CHEAP THING.

A Great Low Budget solution for a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Gift.Jan 25, 2012
By Charles K. Johnson
I got this because I want something to go with a Star Trek TNG costume I will get for a Comic-com this year. I first saw this "toy" and the price then the thought it should be a must have for me a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" fan. I bought it and saw one that had more gagits on it but cost more. I'm not sure which one they used on the show or movies if either, but both on Amazon.com look like they could have been used. When I got this product home I saw somewhat suprized that the top of it where it is orange and green are not LEDs, but a sticker. The picture on the box it comes in shows the lights shining bright, very bright, where there the are lights, but when I pressed the buttons; unless you are on the some side as the lights are on, you will not see them lit. The sound are good. There are three different sounds for the two different buttons. So one can call out commands like, "reading" or "scanning" commands like on the show and movies. I take it one sound is for interference, another is nother picked up something and third is registering something on the Tricorder for the two different buttons or whatever one wants them to be labled. It also lights up when one closes the top and closes it. It might look better with just on piece that opens and closes it. This would make it easier to read the stuff on the top screen and make it easier to press the buttons and see the lights. Other then some stickers where I would of liked a small screen/LEDs and a few (not a lot of) scratches, which could of been marks when coming out of the packaging, I would of given this toy "over all" full stars. This could be used as an accessory for those that might be dressing up as Star Fleet, a toy for kids that might like "Star Trek: The Next Generation" or Star Trek in general or something to add to ones Star Trek collection. Bottom line it looks cool and sounds cool for a low price. One could always get that high priced playmates Tricorder, but if one's is looking of other things on one's list to buy this could work in a pinch. People see the Playmate one and say that it has more stuff so that one must be better. I just would not break the bank getting something if I did not need it or could get a cheaper one and be just as happy.

 STar Trek Tricorder - The Best Of The ThreeApr 21, 2009
By Lorenzo M. in the Hollywood CA Area
"Movie Wathcer Extrodinaire"
Star Trek is back and strong in 2009. When it comes to toys - usually the best ones are in the hundreds of dollars and you hate to touch becaus eof their price - however - Playmates is doing it right! Detail, quality and functionality. This tricorder, based on the new Star Trek film - is fun. Lights and sounds from the moment you open it - to the moment you close it.
Durability: I can see really younger kids snapping the flap to hard. But if you use it as if it were real - no problem.
Educational Value; Not really - but if might ask kids and some adults what is a Tricorder and what is its purpose!
There are two seprate control buttons that each create three diffrent light and sound patterns.
If you ever thought of yourself as Mr. Spock or Scotty - these are the devices that are as close to them as their uniforms.
Detailing stickers and a small design make them slightly smaller then the "real" versions, but great for the Trek fan. And at their price - you can't go wrong! Very well made.
