Apparently you can now find them on eBay. Good hunting! (I think this must rank as one of the Ferret’s most popular finds.) :-)

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).

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

Hmmm – I always thought stuff was cheaper on eBay …. glad I have the sense to shop round :-)
Alex Newman

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.
Dean

This guys are still the cheapest

Not totally useless. I have catcams, you see…
Alex Newman

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!
colin

what sort of range do they have?
( i work in a lrge open-plan office!)
Alex Newman

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.
Jonas

Does anyone know want brand these are? Or are the specially made for Marks & Spencer?
Alex Newman

They are of no brand, but have been manufactured especially for M&S.
Richard

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!
