I noticed these are hittining eBay and was wondering if anyone here got their paws on one yet. I'm really currious about the 'scanner' it comes with.
 
My understanding is that they are not shipping until September (9/15 is the most recent estimated availability date).
 
The pic that I've seen is of the prototype HMS tricorder. That one looks like the kit you'd get from Roddenberry.com.

Haven't seen any actual shots of the toy.

This is speculation, obviously, but I can't imagine that the "medical scanner" will have any sound or movement features (spinning scanner).

Still, for a tricorder that's under $50, it's pretty sweet.

I am curious if the STANDARD science tricorder will feature same light/sound action as medical version -- will they have different images on the little TV screens? Different sounds? Will the medical version be the only one to have the lower compartment flip out?

And what all will the GEOLOGICAL version do (someone posted that they will offer this version as well).

They could also offer a CITY ON THE DGE OF FOREVER version with Edith Keeler on TV screen...and an ARENA version that features "Gorn Lock On" effect where Tricorder starts smoking and then blows up.
 
Again, keep in mind what you are seeing here is pics of the HMS Tricorder and Med Scanner, not the actual DST Final release.

I am hearing that there will be some changes to both as far as appearance and design, so keep that in mind.

I've been waiting for this for years, but why exactly would I want the voice of Dr. McCoy coming out of it? What will it say besides, "He's dead Jim." "I'm a doctor, not a grown man playing with toys?"

"He's dead Jim" That would be perfect :lol

I think it comes out Aug/Sept?

ArtAsylum has recently updated their site (just an hour or so ago) and they've included the 2 graphics for the TOS tricorder coming up along with some prototypes for the Enterprise D and some new Packaging!

I wonder what the scanner accessory for the science tricorder will be.

I'd prefer the science model anyway.
 
New Force Comics is quoting October for this, and I can't think of one AA/Diamond toy that's come out ahead of schedule, so...

I've got my pre-order in with New Force for the Medical version. I hope it does get to me before Halloween. The Wife and I are doing the quick and cheap TOS uniforms this year and I'd hate for her to have to wear the Playmates Tricorder. :unsure
