    I was just about to say, that you'll not want any type of magnet in the house if you have small children. Deadly and hard to diagnose if you don't catch them in the act.

    super cool toy!! I'm gonna order a 4 or 5. some for the kids, some for me and the wife. lol

    there's a few other "similar" products on the market. but the magnetism isn't as strong.
    ebay has em, or you can google it, and get the alternatives.

    I have a neocube, the original one. I like it a lot more. dailystab.com is having a contest where they are giving some away.

    Magnetic toys aren't for children under the age of 13 - the product and the product page at the shopping cart do have ample warning about swallowing danger.

    wow those are pretty sweet. did you know bucky balls are actually a chemical compound too? its made out of 120 carbon-12 atoms and it looks kinda like a soccerball with hex pattern holding it all together. they are pretty interesting and have some cool qualities. made me think of it when he made the little ball. thats kinda what they look like.... except microscopic

    I've got these and it's damn near impossible to make anything other than an irregular blob.
    You see, the thing about magnets is they like to stick to magnetic things and magnets, well they're very magnetic

    @vmos I never had any problem making things with mine. I also got the neocube a while ago.

    making the cube did take some practice though. lol

    Markup may be a bit high -- $5 cheaper at ThinkGeek, and I guess they still make a profit. Does look kind of cool, though.
