All of which are of course from the original series, there are also blinking lights that make it look like it’s doing something. To go with the Tricorder there is a removable scanner accessory. It won’t be out until June 4th of this year, so you’ll have a little bit of a wait. Once it is out, it will only cost you $49.99.
