Hey "Star Trek" fans, why pretend to be Captain Kirk (who bagged all the chicks) or Mr. Spock (who used logic to save everyone's heinies) when you can be Dr. "Bones" McCoy (who groused like your grandmother about pretty much everything)?

The new "Star Trek" tricorder (regularly used by Bones) is perfect for any grizzled wannabe space doc who yearns to find intelligent life out there.

For a very reasonable $40, you can have this incredibly detailed piece of retro. It includes lights and sounds taken from the Star Trek series, and a removable scanner to see if the "red shirts" are still alive.

To achieve the trifecta of geekdom, you can also order the phaser and communicator, for hours of role-playing fun (and pretty much assuring you'll never kiss a hot Romulan).
