Sent in by my friend(s) at ThinkGeek for review come the BuckyBalls: rare earth magnetic balls that come in a cube which consist of 216 BuckyBalls. The magnetic grade of the BuckyBalls is N35 and measure 5mm in diameter, each. A standard set of balls costs $30 and their main purpose is being a time-waster — which they definitely are. I’ve had way too much fun building all sorts of things with the BuckyBalls, and since they’re rather difficult to use, can act as a form of light brain exercise as well, since you’re constantly trying to find ways to build something using little magnetic sphere that measure only 5mm, making it challenging, too. Totally worth it and super fun; just don’t lose any of them, since that seems rather easy. Other than that, there’s no real minuses to the BuckyBalls: they just work and are fun. Score: 10/10
