Any guesses on how long these will be legal to sell online to any person with a credit card? INSTANT BLINDNESS!

I can only imagine the fun of having one of these when I was 13. Ah the joys of setting cats on fire IRL (FUCK YOU P COUSINS)

correct me if I am wrong, but he's using a lense to reduce the intensity of the beam (possibly so it doesn't burn a hole in the wall across the room), amirite?

6/12/2010 10:48:12 PM

he says it's a magnifying lens, so I'm not sure of the purpose

6/12/2010 10:48:56 PM

pretty sure the military must have lasers that can burn a hole through you instantly if consumers have this.

WHO PISSED OFF GEORGE L.

"Now if the company can just manage to beat the far worse foe -- wild demand and short supply DailyTech brought you news back in early June of Wicked Laser's stunning Spyder III Pro Arctic laser, a powerful 1-watt device that could practically double as a weapon, setting people on fire and blinding them. We didn't expect at all what would come next -- a legal threat against Wicked Lasers from Star Wars creator George Lucas. Amid a resultant media circus, it appears that Lucas has finally backed down from his threat according to Hot Hardware. David J. Anderman, General Counsel for LucasFilm, says that his firm will back off the threat of legal action in the original cease and desist letter if Wicked Lasers will put a disclaimer that it is not affiliated with Lucas Film/Lucas Arts. He says the company can continue to sell the product. "The media and public has come to realize that Lucasfilm would never endorse or license a highly dangerous product such as your Arctic Pro Laser," Mr. Anderman writes. Wicked Lasers CEO Steve Liu comments on the rollercoaster ride with Lucas Film, "This has been strange. We felt that it would have been a very bad thing in the beginning, but it ended up helping the business in a very big way." Demand for the new laser weapon is so high that the company is struggling to meet orders, despite having bumped the price from $199 to $299. The Hong Kong-based company has also added new safety features, such as adjustable power settings, a pair of safety glass, and a training lens that limits the laser's power. The new features come in response to criticism that it's being irresponsible handing such a dangerous device to the public. To get full burning power out of the laser users have to purchase an additional lens set, which comes with a "focusing lens". The Wicked Lasers' legal staff can rest easy for now. We have a feeling they might see some action again, though, given that the laser admittedly can set human skin on fire."

Go forth Jedi
