When the 23rd century gave way to the 24th, the flip phone communicators of the original "Star Trek" were replaced by the ComBadge that Picard and crew wear on their chests to communicate with one another via a quick tap. But for all of Star Trek's influence on modern tech, getting an actual ComBadge didn't seem realistic. Until now.

Timed with Star Trek's 50th anniversary, ThinkGeek's sale of the officially licensed ComBadges should be a sigh of relief for ensigns and yeomen everywhere. With a Bluetooth connection and a built-in microphone, the badge can connect to a phone for hands-free communication. Neodynium magnets give it that sleek Star Trek feeling. It even makes the delightful chirp known to Star Trek fans far and wide.

The one drawback: If you were planning to get one for Halloween, you're out of luck. ThinkGeek says they start shipping in November.
