Hmmmm, a 1W laser from Wicked?

FOXNews.com - Deadly 'Star Wars Lightsabers' Are Cheap Online

This does not seem right to have a laser rated at <1w and priced at $197.97 on wicked lasers' website. It is their Spyder III Pro arctic series, seen here:
Portable Blue Laser from Wicked Lasers - Spyder III Pro Arctic Series

If this is right, then these will sell well for $198! I am sure it must be a typo.

But no, it's not a typo. Nova has one too, the Atlantis.

Welcome to the 445 nm craze:wave: It caught me by surprise too. I hadn't checked the forum much other than looking through the Off Topic sections and then next thing I know there's a $200 ~1W direct diode handheld blue laser around.

Someone get Emc2 a 445 so he can take pictures of it.

I'm serious. We need to see a 473-445-405 shot side by side with the pics this guy takes.

IF you do get a 445, please set up a comparison shot like this?

I found this in one of the comments:

You'll still have to point it at the eyes for a good few seconds before it does any damage, and unless you have someone tied down Clockwork Orange style, it'd be difficult to do.

What an idiot.

The Atlantis doesn't show up in Nova's catalog anymore, but I do remember it was $187 and $40 for goggles (required) or you had to email them proof you owned a pair of certified goggles.
