Product Description
One Puzzle, Billions of Solutions -- 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 the cube 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 NeoCube to create shapes could actually exercise both hemispheres of your brain, because it encourages you to be creative and constructive. Playing with your NeoCube 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.

Hours of enjoyment by LA (New York) 5 Stars
November 24, 2009
My husband is a magnet fanatic and he has become quite addicted to making different shapes with these balls. They allow you to be quite creative with your building. The only downside is that we have lost of few - it's easy to do since they are so small. Plus, he read that they are quite dangerous if someone swallows them because they can attract across linings of organs - so be careful around animals or small children. Otherwise, they have provided hours of entertainment for my husband and kids (ages 9 and 11).

Very addictive by Norman S. Mitchell 5 Stars

I bought a set of these for my son. Now I'm addicted, My 9 year old son's addicted, and my 7 year old daughter is also addicted. These are great for getting the brain cells some exercise. I love the feel of them, especially in the cube shape or the hexagonal rod shape. The polarity takes some practice to master, but when you do you can make some wild shapes, then collapse them na d start all over. Super Toy!

My Son Can't Put Them Down! by Becca (St. Louis, MO) 5 Stars

Super fun and addicting. Worth the $20+ for a toy that my son has played with consistently for over a month making patterns, shapes, and objects.NeoCube Rare-Earth Magnet Puzzle Even bought 3 additional sets to give as birthday gifts (and one to take to the office of course). Cool toy!

Frustrating but Fun by Monica Trefonas (Winter Park, FL) 4 Stars
October 23, 2009
This thing is so frustrating! Just when you think you can make the cube, all the magnets go hay-wire and go in every direction! We watched the video demonstration and there is no way it's that easy. You will be there for hours, trying to make the little rows of magnets line up. This is something you may want to take along on a long boring car ride or airplane. We gave it 4 stars because it is educational, a real IQ tester. Obviously, failing that miserably... We could never make the cube, but we did design some other things.

Great fun! by MusicFanatic (Maryland) 5 Stars

I bought this toy for my friends who have a 4 year old son. The Dad and the son were both hooked immediately and had to make a deal on who gets the toy when. It was quite amusing. The magnets are a lot of fun to play with.

Buzz Magnets

Toss the Buzz Magnets into the air. The 2 hematite magnets fly & collide, wrestling for equilibrium in a clattering, buzzing, cicada sounding collision until they land at rest, centered and quiet in your cupped hands. A pair of powerful ellipsoidal hematite magnets, their poles aligned through their narrow circumferences, allow you to demonstrate the constant striving of the magnets to stay in perfect balance with each other. Not only are they fun to play with, but they are also great for...
