Product Description
Rare earth magnets to the power of three!
Who knew were really seeds? We planted them in some irradiated soil we just happen to have a patch of (from one of Carrie's failed Twitter experiments), and they grew up. They grew into Magnetic Building Cubes! The most awesome thing about is: flat sides let you do all sorts of new things. We'll explain; read on!
The flat sides of Magnetic Building Cubes let the cubes fit perfectly side by side. This allows you to slide them and glide them and stack them really easy. You can make your own buildings and cities. You can fold grids of on top of each other. We could go on and on, but really, it's so hard to type when there are Magnetic Building Cubes to play with! Get some now - your fidgety fingers will thank you.
- 125 super-powerful, rare earth magnets - in cubes!
- They glide, they slide, they are awesome cubed.
- Mini carrying case included.
- For adults only. These are so super strong, they should be kept away from children.
- Dimensions: 4mm cubed

Bucky Cubes- 125 Original Edition Reviews
| 79 of 81 people found the following review helpful  Exercise in frustration., By MikeofLA "MikeofLA" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews This review is from: Bucky Cubes- 125 Original Edition (Misc.) I bought two sets of these for about $15 each on another site based on my experience with the bucky balls. These are nothing like them except for the fact that they are tiny magnetic pieces of metal. Being that they are cubes, their poles do not automatically line up when in a strip, so you are stuck with the occasional repelling midsection in a doubles row. They jump all over the place and on top of all that one of my cubes is more of a cuboid, which inevitably screws everything up. I hate these things and want to find the guy who invented them so that I can hide them in his soup.I wouldn't suggest you spend the money on these little bastards. You'd be better off smashing your face with a hammer. 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful  Just stick with the spheres, By This review is from: Bucky Cubes- 125 Original Edition (Misc.) I bought a set of these recently after having a set of Buckyballs for a while. Quite frankly, the whole concept just doesn't work nearly as well in cubes as it does in spheres. The pieces never seem to align the way you want them to, and other than the 5x5 cube they come in, there just doesn't seem to be any sort of symmetry to anything you try to make with them.If I could suggest one improvement to the product that might make it a bit more useable, it would be to have some sort of marking indicating the magnetic poles so it doesn't take three tries to figure out how the things are supposed to go together. 21 of 22 people found the following review helpful Not Well Rounded But Useful -- Teachers Take Note, A Kid's Review This review is from: Bucky Cubes- 125 Original Edition (Misc.) As a chemist, to whom "buckyball" refers to an non-magnetic allotrope of carbon, more correctly known as buckminster fullerene, the cute little neodymium (element Nd, more chemistry) supermagnets called Buckyballs took some getting used to. The cubic Buckycubes come only 125 to a set (rather than 216 for the Buckyballs), and, as others have said, they perform fewer tricks than their spherical brethren.However, if you are a teacher with a porcelain-on-steel whiteboard or other metallic surfaces in your room, or a mother with a refrigerator, Buckycubes can be used to post student work instead of magnetic tacks. One of the Buckycubes will hold many sheets of paper easily. My office walls are steel under the paint and so I can hang paintings and the like by using superglue to attach multiple Buckycubes to the back in sufficient numbers to hold the weight. Neodymium is a rare earth element, and the Chinese have cornered the market on the metal. Neodymium magnets are... Read more |
