One of those can’t-stop-playing toys
By J. S. Carr
This is just a modified review I posted to a very similar product but I hope it is helpful here too!
There are a couple ways to approach these. You may either undertake to make them into a specific shape, whether geometric or an animal or whatever, or you may just play with the physics. No matter which you get started with you will in all likelihood find them less cooperative than you suppose and you’ll likely end up doing numerous of both.
These are great for anyplace from an office to a dorm room. Be VERY careful in regards to little children though because of the dangers of swallowing. Imagining 1 ball may not seem so bad, but think with regards to how very long intestines are folded over themselves a good deal of times and imagine 2 balls sticking together through intestinal walls that are NOT strong sufficient for it. Yes it’s very bad! So if you have these out around children make sure they are under close supervision.
That said, for all other ages they are a blast. You sit down to play with them for a minute and next thing you recognise the sun is going down 
It is likewise interesting for kids (and adults) who are not very intimate with magnets to see what they do and do not stick to, watch them roll down a fridge, etc.
This peculiar item includes 343 balls in a cube that is 1.5 inches per side. That means each 5mm ball is roughly 1/5th of an inch if you’re not intimate with how huge 5mm is, so be conscious that these are very, very small.

Fun little magnets to play with
By Travis Illig
I’d been wanting a great deal of of these for a while, so when they came up on the Gold Box deal I grabbed them.
They’re very interesting and fun to play with. They tend to want to form up into a chain, which is weird, and they appear to be gorgeous stable in a hexagon pattern. Regardless of the shapes you make, it’s finelooking crazy and arousing and attention holding to build with them. I may see where you’d in truth in all probability want a couple of sets of these so you could make something bigger.
I am completely unable to get these back into the cube form. I’ve watched the YouTube videos on how it works but I ought to be missing something. I store mine in a nice stacked hexagon sort of shape.
These are such a choking hazard I can’t believe I’d even bother saying it, but in case you were looking at getting these for a kid, don’t.
Finally, I’m having a difficult time figuring out where to store these. They’re very powerful magnets and my house is full of electronic equipment. Right now they’re sitting on my mantle because there’s not one thing electronic up there. By the couch? No, if I set my wallet down, my credit cards get erased. In a closet? No, if I put my iPod or something in there, it’s done for. I might end up sticking them on the fridge to double as magnets to hold my coupons up or something. Anyway, something to consider if you’re looking at these – where you’ll store ‘em.
Otherwise they’re tons of fun. Get some.

a teacher’s point of view
By Lancer
Whether termed Neocube or Bucky Balls, these tiny magnets have the capacity to capture a child or an adults imagination.
I come from a family of teachers, and my brother not long ago received his instructing degree. Because he is a math teacher-especially geometry-I gave him an order of these magnetic balls as a graduation gift. This was something I believed any teacher would be happy to have on their desk. My brother had only one complaint… I did not give him enough! Apparently, he employed them so many times in his each and everyday lessons that a mere 200 would not serve his purpose.
I gave numerous to my sister-who teachers 3rd grade-and was of a sudden forgiven for the three prior birthdays of hers that I forgot a card.
My parents-tough, Midwestern dairy farmers-have ofttimes been critical of any buy I make because they seem to believe that wasting a dollar is worse than missing Sunday service. I in an unintentional manner left numerous of these balls at their home to never see them again! Apparently, besides the fact that they concede the user to make a lot of fun geometric shapes, offer the user fun for hours of instructional play time, and become stimulating bracelets, rings, and necklaces, these little guys are the BEST refrigerator magnet known to man!
Personally, I get enjoyment from them because they activate the kinesthetic percentage of a person’s brain while they unwittingly learning regarding science.
Overall, this is a great gift for any individual you recognise or yourself, and if you take place to be the original person to introduce them to your circle of people, you will be loved and thanked by many!
