Have you seen Star Trek yet? The answer from me would be a big YES. In fact, I’ve seen it twice. Let me give it a one-sentence review for those of you considering it? It’s awesome, it’s fantastic, it’s incredible. Go see it — now (how’s that for a bite-sized review?).

One of the things that’s always distinguished Star Trek, since the William Shatner original series days, is the gadgets. The futuristic feel is significantly enhanced by the phasers, tricorders, scanners, etc. And given the renewed popularity that the movie has brought, it’s natural that those gadgets would be reproduced and for sale. Over the next week or so, I’ll be giving you a taste of some of the best gadgets.

We’ll start with an original series Communicator. This one features sound effects and clips from the series, and a pop-open design. The company says these are a limited edition item (unfortunately, it also says they’re currently out of stock. Since that’s likely due to the interest generated by the movie, be patient for a little bit and they’ll be available again.)

Check back soon for more Star Trek gadgets. And go see the movie!
