[...] USB Powered Air Darts [Red Ferret] Thanks to: Gizmodo [...]
anyone know where i can get this in US?
Apparently you can now find them on eBay. Good hunting! (I think this must rank as one of the Ferret’s most popular finds.) :-)
Yep you can get them here

Although the M&S website says Mac and Windows, the box says Windows but does not mention Mac. I got one anyway, but the included software CD is Windows only… So unless there is native support for USB Powered Air Darts, built into Mac OS X, Mac users are out of luck. No problem running on Windows.
Can rotate up and down as well as sidways (not 360 degrees).
Where i can get it in Russia?
Help! I want it :))
I have managed to get the last remaining few at M&S in Oxford Street, and I will ship worldwide through eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8733417531
Note that these are so popular that they have been removed form the M&S website as they are completely out of stock
There’s some more on ebay

Hmmm – I always thought stuff was cheaper on eBay …. glad I have the sense to shop round :-)
Yes, things are usually cheaper on eBay. Unfortunately it isn’t proving to be the case here. Postage and packaging to the United States for one of these, which weighs about 0.8kg (about 1.8lb) is surprisingly expensive. That added to the fees PayPal and eBay charge for listing, selling and receiving payment for the item, unfortunately increases the total price.
Anyhow, I have my last six available to buy at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8734499261 and am hoping that these are still being delivered to M&S so that I can sell a few more by the end of the week, to ensure Christmas delivery.
This guys are still the cheapest

I bought one and its great!!! :D
Not totally useless. I have catcams, you see…
These have sold out in most of the stores now. So here is the last chance for a Christmas delivery abroad at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8736777181
I just got mine as it has been said it works on MAC!?
Software is only for PC….
HELP!
what sort of range do they have?
( i work in a lrge open-plan office!)
I have managed to fire one of the missiles/rockets/darts eight feet, so range is not terrible! Then again I have had some that went arounf five feet, so it does depend upon angle in which you fire.
In regards to working on Mac, this was something that was on the M&S website when the item was available there, so it would be an error on the part of M&S.
Does anyone know want brand these are? Or are the specially made for Marks & Spencer?
They are of no brand, but have been manufactured especially for M&S.
This guy will ship WORLDWIDE! they go really cheap, well worth a look.
He has loads and keeps re listing so keep checking it out. I have bought a few for my friends in the states and they love them. Good service!
