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.
