Are these legal in the US/other countries? I suppose there is a reason they come disassembled.

I'm not 100% sure about american law. I believe they are legal to import as is (marked as parts), but I'm not sure if they are legal to own because they are not explicitly approved by the FDA. But as long as you don't use it in public, the chance of getting into trouble is pretty much nil. Many other companies such as wickedlasers ship to america even though they also are not approved by the FDA (they claim to be legal but it's not true: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/ucm234938.htm )

Any updates on when things will be available again? I'm interested in the 50mW Violet Laser.

I've been having long delays on parts shipments, probably because of christmas mail congestion. They should have arrived now. The status for almost all out-of-stock lasers are the same now: They could arrive any day. Maybe tomorrow, but maybe not for another week or two, I really don't know.

lasers are scary, can you go blind if a 25 or 50 mw laser hits you in the eye for 1 second and u look away.

Yes you can, lasers should be handled very carefully. Then again, guns and knives can do a lot of damage too, it's all about treating the objects with respect. 25-50mW will not completely blind you, but you can risk a permanent blind spot in your vision. I got lucky, a few years ago I got hit in the eye with a 30mW model, but after a few days it healed fully.
