Just a note, these are 3mm diameter balls. Standard buckyballs are 5mm. So quite small.
The smaller diameter will also mean they're less magnetic. I haven't tried these personally, so it's not a comment on the quality or how well they work.

Very good point.

You can get these cheaper on Ebay from HK: example. w/ case for $11.69US shipped -> "so I take back my "hot" classification for this deal".

Bad deal. I bought 3 of these during the Team Buy deal thinking they were the 5mm balls (those are the ones shown in the video) and ended up getting a refund. You're much better off buying these from eBay.

Hm, you'd think that with something called "nanocubes", that the little pellets would actually be cubes, not spheres. Kinda like, you know, buckycubes (http://www.getbuckyballs.com/products/#!/buckycubes).

I agree, I bought mine from TeamBuy, I am so upset with the product I received.

Its not what I expect it to be, its smaller in physical size than the demonstration video.

Its much smaller than a bb from a bb gun, how am i suppose to play with it?
