This waiting period is outside the nominal rage.

You know, just doing the Type 1 phaser as a replacement is a VERY sensible idea!!!!

The “just modify it a bit” means it wouldn’t be a cheap run. There are many P1 molds (maybe hundreds) involved in the production run and each would need to be remachined to allow for a replaceable battery. After remachining, running test runs, more modifications, test runs, and set up the production line again.

A couple more Tricorder mentions on TWC FaceBook page:
“We're still diligently working on the Star Trek Tricorder. We appreciate everyone's patience as we know we haven't been able to provide an update recently, but we hope to have more news we can share publicly very soon”!
“Definitely not in a back room! The Tricorder Replica is still 100% happening. The development has taken us longer than anticipated and we've hit a lot of bumps along the way, but our development team has put their blood, sweat, and tears into this project and we hope to have an update we can publicly share soon. We appreciate everyone's patience”.
This in response to negative posts claiming it’s not going to happen.

Thank you for your support. We are very close to a final product spec now and moving (inching towards) FEP… (final Engineering Production), the step before we press the button on full production. This has been a long road for everyone and we really appreciate the patience extended to us on this project. Thx

This has taken longer than we expected, but we have not given up, instead, we have reviewed and chased down each of the many issues that always dog a project like this and we hope we are nearly there. The issue with constant updates, is how many times can we say we are nearly there? Best just to wait and then when we are actually manufacturing, announce the fact… there have been too many false dawns… so hang tight, it is still coming.

Something doesn’t feeeeeeeeeel right…..just an observation.

So you think an AI program is making these responses and not Chris Bernardo?

It’s getting so mundane as to the reasons for delays that I’m 3D printing a Tricorder just to kill time waiting ….but datz another story for some other time….it’s a very

I don’t know…….it’s like …..Hey AI…..here’s the situation…..years ago we introduced a Star Trek Tricorder…..however it’s not looking like we are going to complete it any time soon….it’s already behind. We are having engineering challenges beyond belief. Admittedly it’s a trial by fire as we go along.
Hey AI …can you come up with some beyond reasonable doubt responses? This means that the excuses presented must be so convincing that no reasonable person could have any doubts about Wand’s delays.
