It's awesome to see how much care they're putting into this project.

My order now says May 8! It might be interesting to see if this first batch has any common manufacturing quirks/fit and finish issues, compared to later batches.

My order says "arriving May 20", and not dispatched. My guess is that I managed to wedge the order through on Amazon's site, but missed the initial inventory that is shipping to others by May 7. Hopefully that's a sign that more stock is expected soon?

Catching up on the thread... The product page isn't deleted, although it might not be searchable or linked from TWC's store page. I was able to order this morning, but haven't gotten a dispatch notice (yet). https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wand-Company-Tricorder-functional-electronic/dp/B0DZY1J8NN

It took me several tries with errors that the tricorder wasn't in stock, then my "order" finally went through. I guess we'll see if it sticks. I haven't gotten any email from The Wand Company yet.

Totally. I was just throwing out an idea about possible feet. Excellent work on the modeling for this!

I'm guessing the prop was made for the show, and not a found part (someone correct me if it's already been identified). But if it was loosely based on the Charlie's Angels speaker (Western Electric 108 loudspeaker), those cases have two small feet runners on the bottom that accommodate the...

Apparently they've finished some of the Fett helmets. I paid my remaining balance today, and it will ship on their "next shipping day". Fingers crossed it arrives in one piece.

The round-tip antenna mast looks like most car antennas manufactured by Ward during the '60s. No idea on the antenna nut, but that's the top piece on a car antenna minus two or three other pieces.

Also still waiting. Rob said on their YouTube channel a few months ago that they would finish the run before the end of this year. Probably best to email them and ask for an update.

This project is so cool, congrats! The finished prototype looks amazing. Might even be a nice touch to use the volume knob style from the ES-345 Marty played:

And of course, some YouTubers have already done a nice job of de-aging Hayden with about the same production quality as the rest of the show...

It would be interesting to remove the clamp. I can't imagine anything wearing off all the chrome without stripping the paint on the shroud. If it's shiny gold under the clamp maybe it was never chrome-plated, or it's gold-plated (sub-14k). The spot where the grip is missing looks kind of like it...

Apparently in the comics, Star Wars (2020) issue #4, the lightsaber was recovered on Bespin by an Ugnaught after Luke gave up looking for the lightsaber. Can't wait for the inevitable tie-in flashback where the Ugnaught in the Mandalorian was the one who found the lightsaber and sold it to Maz...
