I know some of you know this already, but there is going to be a new prop/toy made for the original Star Trek series communicator. This looks to be of pretty good quality for the price. Entertainment Earth has a slightly Exclusive version that says one extra phrase (9 total). Get your preorders in now! Due in March.

Is this the ST-Experience Comm from a few years ago with the lights and sounds? If so, it's awesome. In fact here is my little Art Asylum and ST-Experience Comm display stand!
Yep - that's a very nice comm. I've got one of those. Pretty much molded off a Master Replicas comm I think. Nice stand too Bryan!
Jhusel over at the RPF fabricated these. :)
very cool
Does anyone know if a AA TOS Tricorder is planned? Would be great to complete the set.

Haven't heard of one yet. But I'd say it's a good possibility.
If you live in the UK play.com has the communicator ready for pre-order. Check the link http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/3497118/Star-Trek-The-Original-Series-Communicator/Product.html

Very cool
I ordered mine yesterday from New Force Comics.
I just got two of them from Entertainment Earth with the extra phrase added (special edition). Pretty nice item. I'll review one probably next weekend on the podcast.
It's on sale now here for only $25. It's not the Entertainment Earth version so it lacks one of the phrases, but still a great item and good deal.

Awesome! How is the "spinny" effect on the round disk at the top of the face of the open communicator achieved? Is it an optical illusion, or are there actual mechanical parts that move? Either way, it's pretty sweet! My favorite part- it makes the little "e-e-e-e" noise when you flip it open. ;D
Ordering one tonight!
The spinning moire is a motor that moves a disc of one pattern over another a disc.
I got three of these, they are really cool.
Three?!?! Cool - one more than me even!
I'm going to have to get one. May have to hide it from the other half she's still bemused that i want another lightsaber. I mean come on you can't have just one, you need to to balance the force (or to balance the look of the diplay) ;)
When I was at the mall today, I saw it, and picked it up, same with a friend of mine, who already has 6 or 7 different communicators already. Pretty cool item, I like how you can set it to alert you, and then flip it open and have spock ask you if he should beam down an armed party.
Yes, I didn't even know it could do that until after I talked about last week on the podcast during my review! LOL!
I have to return mine to DST as it's a bit defective.
