I was going to say "AGAIN?", but then I noticed they're buckyCUBES.

Sorry for being negative, but cubes are much less fun than balls. Will be skipping this one as can think of much less shapes I can make with these. Zen Balls all the way!

Square is the new round.

Incidentally, making them into the original cube shape they shipped in will be substantially less difficult.

Looks like it would be fun to keep in the office for when you get bored just hope no1 puts em too close to your computer.

Now you can shut it with the two for tuesday comments.

In case you aren't very creative with the Buckycubes, here's a demo video!

$24.95 for one set direct from the manufacturer.

Not a bad woot here for two sets.

This appeals to my regular polyhedron fetish.

It never was difficult. It just takes skill!

My wife has already said several times that she will kill me if I buy any more magnets... as much as I'd love it get some, I have to pass.

What, no more Buckyballs?

Rare earth vs. not so rare earth magnets - anyone? Not too clear on this...

What are the dimensions of a Bucky Cube? Quarter Inch??

How powerful are these?

I dunno... square balls... hmmmmm

2 for Tuesday? More like 250 FOR TUESDAY!

I like how the buckycubes come together to form a large cube. I have always felt that buckyballs, when combined, should form a larger ball. But alas, no.

I got the 2 pack - Buckyballs last year and I love them, great desk toy.

That's 5 cents cheaper for only ONE set, though. This has a whole second set for only 5 cents more (plus $5 shipping, of course).

Looks like a Rubik's Cube with no possible solution. I would go insane.

Woot!'s description was painful to read.

What are the dimentions of the cubes and are they the high powered magets or the normal crap???

Pfft. These are like Buckyballs for babies.



Metaphorical babies, of course.

Everyday Magnets how do they work?

Still waiting for the Buckytriangularprism magnets.

Is this like how Apple releases a new iPhone that's just like the old one, except it's .0000025% thinner, and thus makes it a "revolutionary game changer"?

Spheres to cubes? Heck, even the Fushigi added a feature in glow in the dark :P.

Yes. Yes it was. Very painful.

Considered purchasing until I saw this horribly depressing promotional video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAsSgK3CvO0

according to thinkgeek (who is out of stock) they're 4mm cubes.

As ADD as i am this is going to give me oodles of fun.

Psh, this woot is for squares.

For some reason, tonight's Woot reminds me of classic Sesame Street.

they did!? :O

Wish I could buy 3, to add to the too big pile of buckyball spheres, but I am broke, so 1 set it is.

I'm a poor college student. That means I can justify buying one pointlessly fun set of magnet cubes, but not two.

i've got lots of sets of buckyballs, and thousands of zen magnets (kept away from each other, of course).

i'm waiting to see what happens when i mix 125 buckyballs with 125 buckycubes.

thoughts?

in for 2.

Judging by the size of these, they need to have a 20 for Tuesday just to get any joy out of them. Man, they're small.
