DaboGirl 7 Posted January 9, 2009 Vegas electronics show offers sneak peek at new Star Trek movie goodies. January 9, 2009 - Who'd a thunk that the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada would be the first place in the world to reveal three popular props from the J.J. Abrams theatrical reboot Star Trek. But sure enough while walking back from a dinner between the Venetian and The Palazzo hotels, this reporter spotted an Intel display running the film's trailer. Even more exciting was the contents of a little Plexiglas case just to the right of the monitor. Inside were three of the actual movie props used during shooting of the film. They were Dr. McCoy's Medical Tricorder, Kirk's Communicator, and Uhura's Communication's Unit. The look of the brushed metal pieces remained true to their original series counterparts, yet had a modern flare about them. But don't take my word for it -- see for yourself!

Indy 8 Posted January 9, 2009 The tricorder and the earpiece look good, for some reason I'm not thrilled by the look of the communicator. But that's probably just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted January 9, 2009 I agree with Indy. The communicator looks lame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaboGirl 7 Posted January 10, 2009 They look retro and yet not. I think they are too cool for school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted January 10, 2009 The Communicator and ear-thingy are ok but the Tricorder looks odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_Bauer 1 Posted January 10, 2009 The Communicator and ear-thingy are ok but the Tricorder looks odd. I think Tricorder is a mislabel. I believe its intended to be like the 'salt shaker' medical scanner McCoy was always using. And I concur about the other two props. It would have been cooler to see the communicator open though.

DaboGirl 7 Posted January 12, 2009 I'm really looking forward to seeing the Phaser as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhaseSniper 0 Posted January 12, 2009 The earpeice is great, the tricorder is okay, the communicater is..............crap. It would look better without that logo though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
