They were sold as buckyballs on ThinkGeek, although there has been
concerns about kids ingesting them (and you really don't want rare
earths magnets sticking across intestines, ow ow ow!) So together with
the "Bucky Balls Could Double Your Lifespan" thread I got a weird
crossover.
Very fun toys. I like making microtubules out of them. Or placing some
on top and some under my glass table.
