One Puzzle, Billions of Solutions -- Magnet Balls continuously create new patterns and shapes with these cool cubes, composed of multiple individual high-energy rare-earth magnets. With no set right answer, this puzzle has nearly infinite options in construction. You can completely disassemble and reassemble your magnet balls or simply manipulate it with your hands - you completely control the outcome of the multi-dimensional form.

Each magnetic sphere is essentially a point, several spheres can be arranged into a line, lines can be formed into two-dimensional shapes, and these shapes can then be combined into three-dimensional objects.

Using your Magnet Balls to create shapes could actually exercise both hemispheres of your brain, because it encourages you to be creative and constructive. Playing with your Magnet Balls also helps eliminate stress through the unique sensation of the magnets, the audible sound of each magnet connecting, and the creativity used to produce new shapes.

5 out of 5 eggsSo fun, so distracting!

Pros: What's not to like about these? They are strong individually as well as in a group! These have been my fun "stress relievers" at work for almost 2 months now, and the whole team loves them! They end up as strings, rings, 3D shapes, or individual balls on metal parts of everyone's cubes at work! Definitely recommended for simple fun!

Cons: Finishing scrapes off at polar ends and start to rust. Though this doesn't stop me from playing with them!
See other thoughts.

Other Thoughts: After throwing, sliding, and playing with these for a straight 2 months on metal surfaces at work, the polar ends of each ball have slightly exposed the metal beneath and started rusting. I suppose this will happen when everyone's throwing them at and sliding along metal parts of our cubes at work. Sometimes the rust will leave a tiny rusty dust spot where it has hit a metal surface hard. Not a real nuisance however.

More care is recommended if you want to keep your balls shiny!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat time waster

Pros: Exactly as advertised. These also seem to be pretty high quality, in terms of the finish staying on.

Cons: The foam inside the tin leaves lots of little black dots all over the place. Hardly a big deal, though, since the balls don't make it back into the tin very often.

5 out of 5 eggsOrdered two more, great fun

Pros: everything came as ordered and quickly. Ordered two more, to join the set given to me as a gift a year ago. (that one used to replace balls when lost)

Cons: While playing its easy to lose a ball or two, thus prevents some of the shapes etc. While others seem not to have relized these ball are BB size, if they were much over double that they would be hard to play with the same way.

Other Thoughts: which they gave say 5 extra balls for replacments when lost without having to purchase a whole new set.

1 out of 5 eggsLots of Fun in a little package

Pros: It's a great fun little toy that takes up very little space. They are super strong and will hold many other metallic things with ease.

Cons: I received mine and was so excited that I just started playing with it. Later on when I actually went ahead and counted it, I realized it was missing a whole grouping of them. The label said 216, I had 180. Will call Newegg in the morning and see what can be done. Really wish it wasn't missing it because this is indeed a very fun toy.

5 out of 5 eggsExpectation Management

Pros: These magnets are very powerful and extremely addictive. They can be manipulated into multiple shapes and designs. As an item on your desk, everyone will play with them when they come in.

Cons: The magnets are small--think the size of BBs.

Other Thoughts: The size doesn't detract from their usefulness; in fact it might help in making some shapes. Just have it in mind that they are not big and you will be happy with the product.
