So I finally received it. Purchased the day after Merry ("laserlands") joined the forum to find out more about the seller and its products. Order was placed on Dec 14, shipped on Dec 15 and I got it today - Jan 27. So it took quite a while. Maybe because of winter holidays (Jan 1-10 here in Russia).
But I have to say that headphones I ordered from DX were shipped on Dec 16 and I received them on Jan 6. So DX shipping turned out to be twice as fast :shhh: Despite this claim: http://laserpointerforums.com/f44/does-dx-care-about-christmas-d-d-46156.html#post623913 But bear in mind that DX doesn't ship the very next day
Communication with the seller was superb and is summed up very good in this post: http://laserpointerforums.com/f41/do-anybody-know-www-laserlands-com-46189.html#post624219
OK, now to the pen. This is a regular pen most of you very well familiar with:
5mw Green Single Beam Laser Pointer - $5.90 : Laserlands
... so no comments here, except batteries wobble a bit more than I expected (this is my fist pen). But overall it looks nice and feels sturdy, so in that regard it exceeded my expectations.
Brightness... it varies. This laser certainly prefers warm. 19°C is not enough for it. And for me too LOL It's been below -20°C outside for a few days now :yabbmad: At 19°C ambient temperature it needs 20-30 seconds to reach full brightness. But in summer it will probably be just fine from the start.
The dot is a nice round one and the beam is visible in a dark room when you look at it from the side and in a mildly lit room when you look down the beam. The laser does look about 5mW to me when it's warm.
Bottom line: I'd recommend this laser to anyone who needs it for pointing or star-pointing. The dot is visible at all times and when the laser warms up, it becomes just a little bit too bright. At $5.90 + $3 shipping you probably can't beat the price. And more importantly it works right out of the box, unlike my 30mW Romisen laser from DX I had to send back and wait another 2 months.
I will be reviewing laserlands' laserking later. And I will compare shipping speeds again. The batteries and charger from DX left Hong Kong on Jan 21 and the laserking left China on Jan 22. So again, one day difference... place you bets

and beam shot:
200mW for comparison (same outside temp, same camera settings, but still the difference between 5mW and 200mW is more visible to my eye, so don't be too excited):
