*people buying replicas for $800 for the shiny material design* Me: buys a screwdriver that flicks-to-open and can control electronic devices for only $130 with also the beautiful design
They’re going for hundreds on eBay was thinking of selling mine then getting the ct one but changed my mind because it’s a freaking sonic screwdriver that you use your tv probably the closest you’ll get to a sonic 😂
As I mentioned before, it was your reviews that compelled me to buy the 10th and 12th Doctors universal remote. I got the 12th and it was flawless bar one thing. One of the claws extends out further than the rest and its screwing with my head lol
I was at a comic con once and someone asked him when they did the Q&A why he never flicked it open when he was using Matt's sonic. Capaldi explained that the sonic wasn't locked together so if he flicked it open the top half would of come flying off and broke in half.
Im surprised they havent done the 12th doctor's second sonic yet as that has clear emitter sections making it the eassiest new series screwdriver to make into a universal remote and knowing the seemingly endless features of prior sonic screwdriver universal remotes there may even be red and torch effects
I actually just recently bought this Screwdriver online for $65 (£47). Someone on Facebook Marketplace was selling it for that cheap and it's barely been used. I got lucky finding that kinda deal.
Benrob0329 if you check cex you can find this for only £50 which is great. If you’re uncertain about the condition of what you’re ordering, you can ask and CeX will send you an image of the product, just tell them what store it is in.
My sound chip in my screwdriver failed. I asked WandCo. if I could pay them to fix it. They told me to mail it in and they would fix it for free. I've owned it for a couple years but they are still determined to take care of their customer. Amazing company.
I have a question, If you point the 10th Doctor's Sonic at this while they are both in TV-Be-Gone Mode will it emit a loud sonic buzzing similar to the one heard in "Partners in Crime"?
something that I found cool is that you can hold it with any of the sides in any direction and it will always register the sides as the way they're facing.
The perfect collectable dosen't exist- *sees this video* WHY DID THEY STOP MAKING THEM aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Edit: who else wants to start a petition to get these back in production again, showing the wand company we will buy these?
i know right i just got lucky and got a working 10th sonic screwdriver remote off ebay. everybody is really trying their hardest to charge like 700 dollars for the 12th doctors sonic. pretty ridiculous.
@@Nour_Asg great deal. I got the 10th sonic for just about the same. Too bad it doesn't take regular batteries like the 12th sonic cause I'll definitely have to replace the rechargeable battery in the future
I am so glad you uploaded this again. It is one f my favorite reviews on your channel Stephen. Coincidentally, I actually got this as a Christmas gift yesterday! Thanks to your review, I knew I was going to love it before I even took it out of the box. It is brilliant! Merry Christmas!
I managed to get my hands on one with my tax return two years ago now and I've just gone and done something I really shouldn't have, but really wanted to anyway. I repainted my sonic to look like the Rubbertoe Custom Mk 1 sonic (the black and silver one) while avoiding the emitter and core just to keep it functional. So I now have a custom 11th sonic remote.
hello! love your stuff, and I'm glad you were able to revive your channel. I was wondering if you had any advice on how to fix or help with the locking mechanism? mine is quite poor, and it opens just from me using some of the gestures
Is it bad that i disrupted a school assembly using this. I managed to turn off and mess with the huge tv (yes we have a tv in stead of a white board). I just used stealth mode and kept turning it off. I never got caught.
Update for people wanting one. 11th sonic: Range from average £100/$100 - £300/$500. Roughly 10 out there on sale. 12th sonic: very rare and much more expensive. Range from average £400/$600-£600/$800. Only about 2 on sale now. 10th sonic is equally as rare as the 12th but not the most expensive. Probably 1/2 being sold out there. I saw one for £360. Overall: Best chance getting 11th which still looks near identical to the 12th sonic. It’s unfortunate it doesn’t extend and has a button on the back with motion controls. In my opinion the 11th makes up for its display case. The 11th screwdriver is the easiest chance you will have of getting one. Only place I found selling sonics is eBay. Prices will only rise rapidly.
@@querimoniouslimner8081 hi mate, I luckily got mine for £250. That is a very good price. It may be the only chance you ever get of getting one. Especially for that cheap. Just make sure you double check what it includes/what works/it’s condition etc.
also there are 3 features he left out, or didnt know about, but in FX mode if you press the button 7 times it makes an alarm Sound effect, and if you press it 8 times it will beep a quote In morse code, and if you press and hold the button down after 8 presses then hold it down on the 9th press it acts as a Sort of flashlight, i found this out with mine.
I sanded down my emitter so it's not clear but more a cloudy green and also flattened the emitter so it's not as round looks even better just doing that.
Marcus Tsang probably, but no one would read it anyway, I really want to get the tenth doctor one but it's sold out in Australia, might get the phaser instead though
I bought this the day it was released, I'm honestly really happy with it, I've bad it for years, and have had no problems with it, my friends love it when I pull it out and turn up the volume with it.
Kinda feels like doctor who is inventing itself. In another few years these "replica" sonic screwdrivers are going to have a bunch more features and who knows what could happen next! Maybe a man looking to run away steals it and never looks back.
Thank you so much for your comprehensive reviews of the sonic screwdriver remotes. I'm having trouble deciding on which to get, 10 or 12. I like that both extend, so it's a definite "no" for 11. Other than the rechargeable vs battery powered, how would you compare the two? Any recommendation on which you might suggest over the other?
Why would anyone get a prop replica after seeing this? Other than the emitter color and the fact that the gold sections being plastic this is damn close! Add in the facts that it is a fraction of the cost of a replica and it actually fucking works, and you have the perfect sonic replica out there! I've been searching around for one, and I haven't seen one for under 200 USD, a bit more than its original retail, but that is still far less than the 700 USD I would spend buying a CT sonic.
Is there anywhere I can still get one of these? I have the old one but would really like one like this. I love prop replicas and theres no way I can afford a thousand dollar celestial toystore sonic replica.
Just wondering, what happens if you connect the bottom and top halves of the 12th and 11th doctors universal remotes? Does it work and can you even do it? I just thought because they use the same screw design in the collar section you could probably mix and match.
The top half of the sonic has grooves to “lock” it in place before you insert the screws. I’ve already tried this and it doesn’t work because the grooves on the top halves are different.
I'm getting this for a cosplay and I want to know do you have to go through all of the commands or can you just go straight to effect mode. I'm a huge fan of you by the way and have seen every video since season 3
shame, went to pick one up finally to find they aren't made anymore and aren't for sale ANYWHERE, and if they are people are bidding stupidly high prices for them.
Depending on where you plan on buying it you can get it from like 90-120 $ (Rough estimate). I bought this for christmas last year and I must say it's worth it 100%
Where can you buy one of these in the UK? Edit: I really need to know, all of the links on The Wand Company's website are for the US, and on Amazon they're not available
Hey bro my sonic screwdriver doesn't work when I use the left and right gesture, I programmed the screwdriver to follow my tv remote commands, but when I move it right or left it doesn't work, any advice?
Hey VoteSaxon. So just about 3 days ago my 12th doctor sonic universal remote arrived. Like any big whovian I was extremely excited to open it up and use it. But sadly after only a day of usage and without dropping it or roughing about with it I found that that the sonic will extend even due to a small bit of gravitational force. Also the button has been a pain, due to the fact that it will not turn on when the button is held and in FX mode the basic sonic sound dies out as soon as I press and hold the button. my question is, did you ever have this problem with your sonic? Thanks Saxon.
One question: is one of the motions to control the TV just a straight button press with no motion? Like the TV be gone mode except you can apply it to a button on a regular remote
I have a question about this sonic, I want to reprogram some of the gestures with different buttons on my remote, and I need to erase the memory bank, I can't remember how you do it but I've done it before. Does anyone know how to erase the memory banks?
TIMESEt04 dead comment, but you can also overwrite the commands, or completely reset the sonic, removing all the bugs and glitches and the control's are like brand new, as well as the memory banks being cleared up
and have g a rechargeable battery would mean more time, but would've been cool, as getting the collar and umscrewing it and taking the batteries out then putting new ones in would probably be faster than charging it

he didn't but Clara did on flatline

I still keep coming back, I want this so bad
There's a torch mode if you press 5 times and hold on the 5th press i FX mode.
That happens with any amount of presses after 5 too.
7 and 8 have special sound effects if you just tap and don't hold though.
I love this remote so much.. I just got it today and I can't stop messing with it. Though it comes open very easily, is that normal?
Same, I've had mine for two years. It's driving me absolutely fucking mad. I can't even touch it anymore without it flicking open...

screw this.
get it? haha. hah...

Try tapping the button 7 times, and then 8 times.

i love how official this is
I'm thinking about buying this for myself how much does it cost
Depending on where you plan on buying it you can get it from like 90-120 $ (Rough estimate). I bought this for christmas last year and I must say it's worth it 100%
Depends on where you live, here in Germany it's only 70 Euro
quite a lot thats why i'm getting it for my birthday
Here in england I got it for a whopping 56 pounds off buy me a gift
tim tincan I got it for 80 pounds, or at least m will, as it is temporarily out of stock, and will charge the current price automatically
also, how much of a delay is there for the standard FX sound in FX mode? like how it was 0.5 seconds on the tennant...
also locking my sonic as soon as i get it to prevent people from using it without permission... good things for good people
I liked the older emitter better
Where can you buy one of these in the UK?
Edit: I really need to know, all of the links on The Wand Company's website are for the US, and on Amazon they're not available

Das_Gaming_Syndrom I'm thinking about it, though I wanted to make sure it isn't just going to be that way if I were to oder a different one.
Josiah Hall The flicking does seem to vary
One question: is one of the motions to control the TV just a straight button press with no motion? Like the TV be gone mode except you can apply it to a button on a regular remote
Jackjack Hopper yes, double press
I got mine but it kinda has an easy give when I move it a bit it opens really easily so sometimes when I toss it around it opens any solutions
imagine telling your friend to stop the television and he says no and you turn it off with screwdriver
Where did you buy it and how much did it cost?
Too bad they stopped making these, would love to have bought one😕
Anyone else commenting on this knowing he'd commit a murder 6 years later?

Did you know that you can use the TVs be gone mode to turn the ON too by doing the same as turning it off?

Once you have programmed one memory bank, can you change it afterwards?
TIMESEt04 yes you can actually save different commands on different banks and switch the banks

Yeah, you can find it in the manual labeled "factory reset"
where can i buy these they seem to have gone??
okay.....where can i buy this beauty?
LemonAce ebay, amazon, i heard if your in the usa the have started to do it in walmart too
Stephen are you watching the supergirl,flash,arrow and legends of tomorrow crossover
myvideomaker100 I did it was great
does this work with any tv or just if you kinda lock it to your own tv? like if i go to friends
I think the "tv be gone" works without having to programme it.
Is the unit stronger than the 10th Doctor version, or is it just as weak?
I might have to get this version.
and have g a rechargeable battery would mean more time, but would've been cool, as getting the collar and umscrewing it and taking the batteries out then putting new ones in would probably be faster than charging it
Can you use it as a remote in 'play mode'
