Tricorder from Japanese DVD set

Got this nice item from a fan of the Podcast. :Bow: (thanks Jonnie) It's a TOS styled tricorder that comes with the TOS DVD set in Japan. It's very well done and is also an FM/AM radio! I'll discuss it more on this week's Podcast. Check out the pics below:

Yeah, I saw a few of thoses on eBay when the DVDs came out. Never got it, was too expensive (the 3 DVDs and the tricorder). You're a lucky man, Rico!

It comes with the TOS DVD sets in Japan. A very nice listener was kind enough to send me one. I talk more about it on the show this week.

If you have a spare $700, you can snag one for yourself off of the Amazon Japan site. Does anyone know of a way I can look through that site and have pages translated as I go? I'm interested in picking up some Japanese discs and would love to have the reliability of Amazon as i do so.

$700?!?!?!! Jiminy!! I'd love to get the Japanese TNG Tricorder too, but not at that price. I do have my limits! ;)

And you got it for free. Tell me Rico, do you fell like the luckiest man on the forum right now?

To be fair, you get all three seasons of TOS (Region 2 and with burned-in Japanese subtitles), a display case, and the tricorder radio for your $700. A bargain at twice the price! :roflmao

That was very sweet of that fan to send you such a neat item!

To be fair he didn't get it for free.

He got it from a fan who loves that he puts out a kick ass podcast at least once a week, runs a site and some forums.

Doesnt sound free to me!! :)
