Buckyballs are great!Mar 11, 2010
This toy seems simple but turns out to provide hours of entertainment. The creators did well with the size and count of the balls, allowing for many shapes that are elaborate and large enough to work with. All of the building block shapes help reinforce geometry and need to work with the magnetic poles help kids understand how the poles align. The only reason that I rate the durability at 3 stars is because the loss of 1 ball can mess up many shapes and if the buckyballs hit the floor, they are likely to pick up metallic particles that are hard to get back off.
So addictiveMar 06, 2010
I finally got around to purchasing these after seeing the video for them several months ago. I love them! They have a very soothing effect when you're just idly playing with them. I just have to remember to keep them away from my laptop because they're SO strong.
2nd PurchaseMar 02, 2010
I have now purchased this item twice. My 16 year old never puts it down. It is fun for her because she can be creative with it and because it is magnets, she doesn't have to worry about losing any of the little pieces.
Great toyFeb 22, 2010
I got this for my husband so he wouldn't keep playing with the remote all the time. He wasn't sure about it at first, but then really got into playing with it and trying to make neat shapes. It was also a hit at my son's birthday party - everyone wanted to play with it.
FunFeb 15, 2010
I bought this for my 11 year old grandson for Christmas and he never put it down once he opened it. It was fascinating to see all the things he could do with it. He was here with me for 3 days and played with it nonstop the whole time except when he was eating or sleeping but it did go to bed with him so I'm not sure about the sleeping.
