The new Buckyballs packaging is fantastic. So happy for Jake and the Zoomdoggle crew. Want to win a set? Comment below and we’ll pick some winners later this week.

Disclosure, I’m a part owner in Zoomdoggle, which is a part owner in Buckyballs.

These look great. I’ve been wanting them for months!


Josue Diaz Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 12:48 pm

Love it! Love the ’suspension’ look and the whimsical-style of the font is also pretty excellent. Good work.


Ed Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 12:48 pm

oh many, they are killing it with their packaging! looks awesome. i still like their old packaging (the little jar) though this seems to fit it just a bit more.


Chase Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 1:06 pm

These look rad!


Scott Lyons Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 1:11 pm

These are fantastic! I’ve never even heard of them, but now I want them! I love the customization of millions of different shapes.

Jed Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 1:31 pm

I’m still amused by 2 fridge magnets. I can’t even imagine what kind of awesomeness I can expect from 216 of them!


Jamison Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 1:32 pm

Man, I love balls!


Tamara Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 1:40 pm

Jonathan Silberman Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 2:42 pm

Woah, cool! I’m totally getting these surgically implanted all over my person.


Sizemore Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 2:58 pm

Growing up, my parents always bought us toys that were more on the creative / well designed side… Most of them are still around and pretty timeless. These go into that category, awesome.


Jacques//An1ken Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 3:28 pm

Those are some great “balls” haha, So awesome what you can do with a few magnetic balls.

I could definitely add one of these to my Productive Break sessions each day.

I LOVE MY BUCKYBALLS!!! they are mindblowing….they are inspiring….they are crazy strong magnets….they keep me awake at night thinking of new patterns….they keep me from my work and destress me….. they are just fabulous and I want more and more of them…I’m addicted and need buckyball rehab!!!


Devin Guinn Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 7:14 pm

I remember playing with the big colored plastic magnetic balls. So fun! These are definitely more for us grown ups! :)


Patrick Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 8:42 pm

One of the best gifts I ever received. It’s probably the thing that people notice the most when they visit and I’ve got loads of awesome stuff so it give some kind of idea on the power of Bucky balls


Aaron Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 8:44 pm

Absolutely loving these. The packaging is looking nice.


Bob Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 8:46 pm

I’d love to be able to brag about how Josh Spear told me I could get my own set of Buckyballs.


Judy Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 10:29 pm

These look as addicting as the Rubik’s Cube was……would love to play and see what I can create with them.

Thanks. I found this link & connection from Etsy news.


Em Tuesday, 10.20.09 @ 10:48 pm

Woah. I forgot about Buckyballs. Hm. I definitely like the new packaging. May have to think about investing and keeping them on my desk.

Rohan Modi Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 2:45 am

You always seem to amaze me with the adventures and crazy things you do. Now I learn you own part of this company? I’m 20 years old, and you have become one of a few people I aspire to be.

P.S. I love Buckyballs, but I’m not just saying this, you really are doing a great job with this blog. Looking for Interns?


su07 Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 3:57 am

I’ve had these on my list of interesting toys to buy for my nephews for a while. I am sure I would end up playing with them too though.


Cris Eloisa Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 5:42 am

Can Brazil get some as well?


lucy Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 8:42 am

They look like amazing fun (just for grownups!) great packaging too..


tozé Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 9:05 am

these things are a killer brain tease! possibilities are endless!


Lucio Caramori Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 9:34 am

You must have balls.


Ben Light Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 10:02 am

Magnets equal magic


vic Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 11:14 am

memememememe


Robe Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 11:33 am

omg i want a set!


Naty Gatti Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 11:37 am

The glass bottle was great already, and this one is fantastic. Good job! I’m willing to win this set.


louis aguilar Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 1:10 pm

Stephanie Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 1:18 pm

OoOOooh, Buckyballs!


Muggle68 Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 2:28 pm

all the coolest toys have something to do with balls or magnets. This combines them in a tornado of AWESOMENESS!


Herb Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 2:49 pm

Nice! If mine isn’t a magic comment, still might pick these up.


Stephen Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 2:57 pm

If you make buckyballs the size of tennis balls we could build houses and solve the world’s problems.


George McCracken Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 4:17 pm

May I please win some BuckyBalls?
Thankyouverymuch.


Kevin P Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 6:25 pm

Do these come in Shirt format?


Mark Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 7:19 pm

Ingenious fun, I’d love some.


Ruben Henriquez Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 7:38 pm

Long time follower, first time poster.
All I have to say is, package…balls…there’s a joke in there somewhere, but I’d be nuts to make it. Congrats, Jake! Congrats, Zoomdoggle! Congrats, Josh! These look amazing.
(Disclosure, I wish I could have a set)


keiko Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 7:58 pm

I saw a video advertising these a long time ago… pretty sweet.


Mike Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 8:13 pm

These are very cool. As much as I would like to say that if I won them, my kids would love to and get to play with them all the time, I am pretty sure they would end up on the desk at my office, filling the role of “something to fiddle with during those long conference calls.” On the plus side, it would give them a reason to come visit me at work.


Joey Wednesday, 10.21.09 @ 9:13 pm

I once had a set similar to this, but it was in shapes of a dolphin.
my mother threw it away cause I was the reason of the discoloration on the tv :/


Peter Thursday, 10.22.09 @ 2:07 am

They buck my balls!
Awesome packaging!


Rick Ramos Thursday, 10.22.09 @ 2:39 am

If I get lucky,
I can win some Bucky.
Then I’ll shape ‘em like a car or a wittle silva twuckie!


Vince Thursday, 10.22.09 @ 3:57 am

Shiny things are neat.


Lukas Thursday, 10.22.09 @ 9:36 am

sweet, i love this buckyball-toy ;-)


C Barnes Thursday, 10.22.09 @ 9:45 am

Magnets and great design. What a combo.


sabbykk Thursday, 10.22.09 @ 12:25 pm

you’re part owner of Zoomdoggle…does this make you 1/4th owner of Buckyballs?


Tim Thursday, 10.22.09 @ 12:35 pm

AG Thursday, 10.22.09 @ 12:37 pm

Vini Thursday, 11.19.09 @ 2:55 am
