Greetings!
I'm just going to post what I posted over on Starship Modeler :
"Looking to clean out some of my stash, I stumbled on a tricorder prop kit I got from Roddenberry.com in 2002 just before they got C&Dd. I can't find anything online about this specific kit, but from the looks of it it's the base kit for the Master Replicas one. The way I remember it is, I bought the communicator, liked it, wanted to buy the phaser and tricorder next, they were out of stock for the phaser, and after I ordered the tricorder they got hit with their C&D and so couldn't make an assembled kit for me but could still sell existing stock, and that's how I ended up with the kit. I think that's how it happened.
The box has been opened but all parts are still bagged. No electronics were part of the kit.
Anyone know of anyone else who's had one of these, and what they called it so I can see if it's worth trying to sell? Technically it's super-rare, I guess, but that doesn't mean there's much of a market for it. Or is this more properly an RPF type question?
Thanks! "
And the response was indeed "the RPF folks might be able to help."
So here I am.
I can see "mint-in-box" MR tricorders for big prices on ebay, and I'd rate this as such, BUT this is an electronics-less kit, so it's not the same thing.
Any ideas?
