I got these purely to put on the desk at work and have something different and geeky to play with. None of us can put them down, just strangely addictive to play with even if you don't have anything in mind. Now to find those books about buckyball designs…

I laughed so hard when I realised bucky balls are being banned from sale in USA because some silly people ate them (example: teenages to use them to make fake tongue piercings and then accidentally swallowing them in the process). Apparently, a warning is not enough to stop people doing silly things and on occasions, the swallowed bucky balls have attracted to each other inside the body causing severe damage.

You know what though- Worth it. Seriously. Just don't give them to anyone that's likely to swallow them or use them as fake piercings.

I didn't actually purchase mine from Mightyape. I got mine when Mightyape didn't actually sell Buckyballs. After using the set that I got, I wrote to Mightyape and suggested they sell them. They fufulled my request. Thanks guys! Now I don't have to go hunting for more.

Buckyballs are amazing. If you just pull on them you end up with a necklace or some other cool little object. Its no trick, no scam. There is a really cool video on YouTube which you should definitely check out if you want to be swayed into purchasing them.
