New Star Trek TOS Phaser coming November 2014

[Betamin]

just checked my email and yuppers ST.com shipped today but damn, I wont be getting mine till next Saturday the 29 th :cry

I'm in the same boat, Vidman. I emailed them today to see when the orders might ship since other sites like Thinkgeek were already shipping and my ST.com account info still had the months end date and "backordered" on it, and I pulled up my home email later to find the notice about it being shipped today. :thumbsup But, it won't be here in Kansas City, MO until Friday the 28th, so I'll be out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday when it arrives. They usually drop packages off at the apartment office, but if I don't get back in to town before they close on Sunday afternoon, I can't get it until Monday. No biggie, I need to learn patience anyway. It's not my strong suit. :lol

OR...I could ask one of the few trusted neighbors on my floor to get the package for me, and I could get it Sunday..... yeah, that just might work.

Jim and dbuck, when did you guys order? I ordered mine Sept. 12 and no news yet. I don't want to cancel and go to ThinkGeek, since that can cause problems such as getting double charged. So I'm just gonna wait patiently... well, I'm gonna wait... :darnkids

I ordered my first one late July.

So far the box or case Is the only thing I have an issue with. hard to open. and I personally would just have the lettering part without the authorization part...

What I don't like about the box is that it says USS Enterprise NCC-1701. You see, in Star Trek fandom I am the Captain of the USS Constitution NCC-1700. And many other fans created their own characters stationed on another ship. It would have been more pleasing for those people if the box said United Federation of Planets, Starfleet Standard Issue Phaser. But I'm not complaining. I'm a prop collector, not a box collector. ;-)

I like your Idea better. but like you say It's a box...

Is the case and foam insert pretty sturdy?

 

[phasernut]

I ordered mine from Thinkgeek Wednesday night around 10pm. Just used standard shipping. It already shipped with delivery scheduled for this Tuesday!

 

[Sean]

Is the case and foam insert pretty sturdy?

Very sturdy. but there's just two little plastic clips on one side that holds it closed. not sure of the life span of those with allot of use.

Sounds like yours will ship by the end of the month, like you need it anyway!

I also think that if they were going for an in-universe style case, it should be labeled a Starfleet phaser rather than a USS Enterprise phaser.

:lol

[Sean]

The crystal's pretty neat..

 

[JiminSTLouis]

The crystal's pretty neat..

How's the finish of the metal and plastic, and how are the seams? It looked like there was some light leak behind the barrel on a previous video?

 

[Sean]

you mean this?

 

[Archie Opteryx]

hmm...

 

[JiminSTLouis]

you mean this?

Yup... There's gotta be a way to seal that up with something.
