It’s probably best to playact with this Star Trek Tricorder in the privacy of your own home. Please do yourself a favor and if you must spend $49.99 on this, keep it on a shelf somewhere and only play with the working sound effects and lights when no one is around. Sound good?

That is, unless you’re attending a Star Trek convention or Comic-Con and you’re surrounded by even bigger nerds than yourself who will appiciate the vintage Star Trek prop. Then, and only under those circumstances, should this be seen by the public. Deal? If so, the item will ship from Amazon on June 4, 2009.
