I ordered this Laser in early march and it arrived almost 4 weeks later.
here's the link: 200mW blue violet laser pointer : BeamQ Laser Pointers, 50mw-200mw,Green,Red,High Power,Cheap
It came with charger but without battery and here is such a battery more than 15$ so I ordered some online and had to wait for more than 2 weeks.
The host itself actually feels really good and quite heavy and is also easy to adjust.
With a 3.7V cr123a it performed quite well as shown in the vid from Beamq but the on/off switch was a bit defective and I had to repair it.
Also a big minus is the horrible beam divergence. On short distance up to 2m focusing works really good you can easily burn things but on longer than 2m you can't get the point smaller. I measured the dot size at 6m is about 25mm big
Some days later, after about 30min burning time (not at once of course) it dimmed down to a very low level maybe 1mW and it's really hard to see
I left several messages at beamq and also tried to contact them by phone but I didn't even get an answer... so thumbs down for that company :tsk:
And the perfidiously part of them is that they say everywhere thay will 100% refund nomatter what also seen here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f45/beamq-40829.html#post545418

Unfortunely I wasn't on LPF yet that time and I couldn't find anything bad about Beamq, also it was back then the cheapest 200mW bluray that I found.
So all in all to say that was just money threw out of the window
I haven't made pics from when it still worked but here's some when it dimmed down:
the dimmed beamq:
compared to a ~10mW pen:
and additional a 495mW:
