The Wand Company TOS Tricorder is coming!

[Ronldheld]

After having my UK order returned, and no refund issued, I have less patience.

Perhaps the demographic may look more like this?

Seriously, I have heard this a lot, recently…

Are Classic Trek fans truly “aging out”??

Are we “old geezers”???

 

[Ronldheld]

Likely older than other Trek fansof other series.

Maybe so. But some who are buying from the US through UK are experiencing issues and wonder why. Makes more sense to just buy it on our own turfs.

Orders are not available to be sent to the US nor can any be ordered by a resident of the US. .

I think a couple people here in the US did today. Don't know if they are going through though.

 

[Ronldheld]

No interest in ordering from Amazon UK.

I know a few people ordered from Amazon.de (Germany) and their orders seem to have been processed.

 

[Ronldheld]

Good for them if they received them

I made a Flickr album of the various Tricorder’s Enterprise status screens I’ve run across. I’ll keep adding as I find new ones.

Still up on Amazon UK as of this morning . They must have a lot of stock apparently .

Kind of wish the backlight for the moire had stayed the same as in Chris's video and in the pictures. It's more of a daylight white and the end product is a warm white. Just my opinion.

 

[Ronldheld]

Is that an artifact of video vs live?

No, the actual prop has a warm white light almost like the old grain of wheat bulbs.

Maybe, but I don’t see the kids clamoring for Discovery props!

 

[drusselmeyer]

This kind of product has a very limited life. They can't afford to lose ANY customers at this point.

If I could go back in time, I would do so and visit my 12 year-old self.

I would give younger me all of my wand company props, and all of my black series 6 inch Star Wars dolls.

Sadly, though, I would probably show them to all my friends, get beaten down, and be robbed blind!

Edited to add: I would also tell my younger self to make better food choices as an adult.

…and be sure to tell him to buy stock in a company to be called Apple….

Oh yeah…while you are playing the part of “Old Biff”…be sure to also slip him a sports almanac.

Yes to both.

I'm not included in that demographic since I was born after the show was cancelled and also I don't age.....

Most newer shows or movies Franchise will never have the following older shows did. For a lot of reasons.

Most shows are basically steaming mini series and rarely go beyond 5 or 6 seasons of 8-10 episodes each. Even network tv is now adopting this format. The days of 20+ episodes a season are quickly ending.

And there are just more shows out there now. So it's extremely hard for a show to get a huge loyal following now.

TOS fan base is dying off now. 20-30 years from now I doubt much Tos merchandise will be made..
