FYI (DO NOT DELETE THIS INFORMATION...this can be helpful for those who are not familiar with buckyballs), CPSC Sues Maxfield & Oberton Over Hazardous Buckyballs® and Buckycube™ Desk Toys [cpsc.gov]
TL;DR:
Don't eat magnets!
why would anyone ever eats magnets still confuses me
maybe they are little kids, so just keep magnets away from magnets. Good thing little kids can't be hurt by kitchen knives.
"When two or more magnets are swallowed, they can attract to one another through the stomach and intestinal walls, resulting in serious injuries, such as holes in the stomach and intestines, intestinal blockage, blood poisoning and possibly death. Medical professionals may not diagnose the need for immediate medical intervention in such cases, resulting in worsening of the injuries."[/COLOR]

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In an effort to prevent children from suffering further harm, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff filed an administrative complaint today against Maxfield & Oberton Holdings LLC, of New York, N.Y., alleging that Buckyballs and Buckycubes contain a defect in the design, packaging, warnings, and instructions, which pose a substantial risk of injury to the public. The Commission voted 3-1 to approve the filing of the complaint, which seeks, among other things, an order that the firm stops selling Buckyballs and Buckycubes, notify the public of the defect, and offer consumers a full refund.[/SIZE]

BuckyBalls Blowout Sale today .. all day

New deals every hour

1st Deal is:

Bucky Cubes (125-count)

$6 w/ promo code GameOn

Shipping is $5.95 for 1st set
additional sets $2.95

Ok...

only 1 way to find out

Add shipping.

Code only works for the "Original bucky cubes". Doesnt work with any of the colored ones or the bucky balls.

Code works with multiple sets though.

You have to choose buckycubes and only in the original color, and in the 125 packs.

Thread title misleading. Please change it to say "Buckycubes Original Color $6 + ship"

You beat me to it :P

Hmmm...a legal note on the top of their website:

not working for me

Again I'll say:

You have to choose buckycubes and only in the original color, and in the 125 packs.

is that a good price?

yeah didnt see your post till after i refreshed screen

https://www.getbuckyballs.com/order/buckyballs/

shipping doubles the price?!?!

Yeah, its the 125cubes....haha, I did the same thing, then realized I had the 216 in my cart

Can we ship multiple sets at once with the deal on each, or do they have to be separate orders?

Buckyballs Cubes $6 for the next 1 hour
 

Use code "GameOn"

http://www.getbuckyballs.com/

Awesome been thinking about getting these for a while

Crap, shipping killls. Hopefully a free shipping code here soon.

Parents who haven't taught their children not to put every single object their grubby little fingers touch into their mouth.

It's the same reason Kinder Eggs can't even be brought into the US.

The magnets themselves are perfectly fine.

I think that is for the 125 original cubes only, not the balls.

I have one set of the 216 balls and that will suffice. Not a great deal if you have to pay the cost of the item to ship.

Holy shipping... pass...

This just makes me even more angry I didn't get about 20 sets when the 125x balls were on sale for $5...

oh well

No potable.

That's why you need to order more than one set. The shipping is $6 no matter how many sets you buy. One set for $11 sucks, but 10 sets for $66 dollars? Great deal. When they had the $5 buckyballs I bought 13 sets, cost me $70. Kept 2 for myself, sold the rest to a chump for $120. I got paid $40 to have two sets of buckyballs.

I wonder if they are ever going to stop selling these... Seems like they are milking it pretty hard.

Yes. Pro-tip: They go great with mayonnaise.

My dog and two-year-old say yes (and arf!).

It must not like me then -->

I was just wondering the same thing. If I had to guess, I'd say their factory is still pushing these out at a steady rate.

They're charging shipping per set this time around.

Only if you are a COW. [wikipedia.org]

in for one.... 15 day shipping!!!!!!!!

WTH, got 5 sets. Should be fun for my 3 year old nephew.

Yeah I have my 2 year old and another one in utero playing with these things. They love em!

Bet you can't eat just one!

As a former Cartel drug mule, I have no problem with them.....

do you think these will increase in value? i'm thinking of buying some regular bucky balls too since they may be going out of business. I would think that in a few yrs the prices would increase like crazy.

However, I"m not sure they're really gonna go out of business, and if they do, I'm not sure for how long.

:rofl2:

Knockoffs from other companies still exist I think

Since these are made in china, the quality will remain the same, but will be sold for cheaper under a "generic" brand.

Tough to pull the trigger when they've done better deals in the somewhat recent past.

Buckyballs Clearance Sale: Every Set for $5 + $5.95 flat-rate shipping (expired) (9/20/2012)

Unless you have one at a time.

I've been wanting these really bad! bought 8 sets. awesome! repped

Don't get any of the colors on the cubes. They chip terribly. I had to get a set replaced. The balls are much better but the colored cubes the color peels off very badly.

the first deal is dead now?

Last time these went on sale someone here said the cubes suck. I bought some anyway, and let me tell you, they suck. You can't do anything with them.

I bought a bunch of balls too, but seeing how much I disliked the cubes I didn't open them, maybe I can unload them easier.

Note that they appear to be banned from being sold through ebay. And on Amazon it is probably not going to be easy to list (might get removed), though some folks there seem to try to move some

the local produce place was selling kinder eggs a couple years ago. had crates of them.. dont know if they still are though.

Prior to that when i spent time in england i purchased them : D
love the chocolates and kinder bueno mmm hehe
if there was a slick deal on bueno i'd get that

It's more likely that buckyballs are the knockoffs. They work, but are of poor quality.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Tka4NUmUo

Still, I have a collection of the regular balls, cubes, bars, and bigs. The cubes are some of the least versatile to play with, and it's difficult to get them to do what you want. The balls are still the most fun to play with.

Not sure if my order will get cancelled but I used Google checkout and was only charged $5.95 shipping for the 4 sets I purchased. My total was $29.95!

:bounce:

http://i193.photobucket.com/album...eceipt.jpg

I love the coupon code choice: SuckitCPSC - classic!

My two sons love these, they taste great. Now I can hardly keep them apart!

Not too happy about the 5-10 day ship policy, up to 15 days, noted on the confirmation page. I figure I could have done a bit more research before purchasing, but that is a little longer than usual IMO. Plus, they like to tell you that all sales are final when using promo codes on the confirmation page as well. Just wanted to inform.

Anyone know where they ship from? I see they are based in NY. Really want these in time for Christmas for my nephews. :-/

SuckitCPSC not working.... anyone else having trouble with it?

It worked for me too..4 cubes with shipping for $29.95! :) :) :)

At what point does the discount get applied? The banner at the top says the deal is good until 12:59 PM EST. So I clicked on the button in the banner. I immediately applied the code and it was accepted, then I changed the quantity to 1 to order one. The price showed up as the original cost but I assumed the code would change the price in the final order. It did not. I did not get a chance to approve the order as I expected; the order went through earlier than I expected. I don't know what I did wrong except be stupid. Note that I tried it again and changed the quantity first, then I applied the code. The price did not change that way either, but of course I did not proceed with that.

Update: I sent them an email and the responded immediately and canceled the order.

That's what she said.

That's what you were supposed to be charged.

Are you serious or just trolling?

Hi 209Mason :)
That coupon code is for the 10:00 pm Eastern deal

the current deal (for the Cubes) uses code GameOn

Can't buy or sell anything on ebay anymore. No beer, no buckyballs, what are they good for?

I'm an idiot... need to check my dates. Plus, the list doesn't specify am or pm.... I thought this sale had started last night... sorry.

In for 8 sets of cubes.

In for one. Will make a nice/cheap white elephant gift.

Salicyclic Acid.

in for 5 :)

I'm not seeing an option for google checkout. Mind telling me how you did this because my shipping is showing as $14.80 :mad:

In for 3 for stocking stuffers. Thanks op!

Nvm, it's at the top of the Shipping Info.
When you proceed to Checkout, does it still show $38.80 and only after Complete My Order will it show $29.xx?

The website is showing that the first deal (GameOn) is good until 12:59pm Eastern time. Does that mean that the times listed on the wiki are off by an hour?

I can't get the code "GameOn" to work. When I get the checkout summary, it shows "promo code applied $0.00". Clearly everyone else is placing orders...I must be doing something wrong here...

?? Any info on that deal?

Nevermind - I re-read the Wiki... Sorry

ROFL!

Uhhhh yes, it is. Especially when $6 shipping is standard all the time... and the same set normally sells at 29.99... then hell yes it is STILL an amazing deal.

Some people's ignorance astounds me.

Make sure you have the 125 set not the 216.

No. It was 11:59pm, but they seem to have changed it to 12:59. I bet they will extend it again.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I checked and I am trying to order the 125 ct "original". damn it, time's about to expire :mad:

Ordered 10 for $65.95 to CA.

Gonna resell some, keep 2 to myself.

Use Google Checkout for $5.95 shipping for the entirety of the order. Website is pretty badly formatted.

- Entered 10 bucky cubes
- Entered GameOn promode code on the Order Summary Panel on the right and hit Apply. It should show discounted price but also shows each additional shipping & handling per order
- Go to bottom, use google check out. Don't input any information yet, hit complete my order, and go from there.

This might be a bit too late alright by now though.

You can get the knock off 216 set here for $11.25 with free shipping. Much cheaper than the $15+6.95 1pm deal.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fr...11883.html

I bought 4 of the 125 sets during the $5 deal. And they really are fun once you figure out triangles and polarity. They get very addicting and the problem becomes that I want to build bigger and more complex objects I found that 500pcs is not enough.

When they initially started to get rid of them sets were 60% off/$5 each etc. Now they want full price on most. Shipping was free if you ordered 2 or more sets. Now they want $5.95 for the first set and $2.95 on each additional set. On the web site FAQ, it says the charge for each additional set is $1.95. What gives - what a ripoff

Hit Apply instead of Enter when entering the code. Refresh to restart it.

Using Google Checkout makes it only $5.95 for shipping and no add. charge.

Shipping kills the deal for me, especially after getting in on the $5.00 sale a few months ago.

Damn I wish I had read all the way through paid the $14.80 shipping. Gift exchanges galore in for four.

Me three

Uhhhh no, it's not. These are way overpriced at $15 + $6 shipping for 216 balls. You would be a fool to buy them at this price and a complete idiot to buy them at $29.99.

Hmm baseless they say?...I dunno if id say that...

These are for older kids and u should keep them in a safe place if you have small children in your house... They are magnets geesh..

Other than that... IM in for 2 :) my teenagers will like these.

Thanks OP

They ARE! But the REAL fun is getting a few friends together and trying to use the other ones to try and guide the ingested ones back OUT!

It's like Operation with a TWIST! Different body cavities have different point values. You can share and track your scores online with family and friends!

+1 Agree.

Yea. True. They said they have discontinued, yet their stock statuses change from sold-out to not-sold out very frequently.

Also, magnets still cheaper and better at neoballs.com [neoballs.com] with coupon code "ignition" :rolleyes:

Do you think the quality is the same? Now I am torn which site to order from...

The "SOLD OUT" business is just hype, they are milking this until the government busts down their doors.

Where are the links to products? Not in OP....

So... it looks like the best deal is going to be:
5:00 pm - $8 for 125 Nickel Balls, code: EightBalls - $8.00 + google checkout for flat rate 5.95 shipping
if you buy 2 sets, you get 250 for $16, where you only get 216 for $15 for one of their other deals.

Agreed, this doesn't compare to the sale they had in august, $5 for the 125 sets and flat $5 shipping.. Wish I would have bought more then.

I haven't ordered this set but I've ordered from other chinese manufacturers and I can say the quality is identical. All Buckyballs offers is a brand name, the product is available for half the price everywhere else.

Don't we all haha :p

Good call... I will hold off... at $20.94 for qty 216 now with Shipping

Couldn't you just eat some of that Activia yogurt, the tv commercial for that stuff shows that it makes yellow arrows point towards your anus so the poop knows how to get out.

this is no deal - $6 then that doubles with the shipping charges, and that's for the smaller 125 pc set. no thanks. all the exclamation points in the world can't get me excited for this non-deal.

great for christmas gifts

yeah, good luck teaching a toddler who can't speak yet that he/she shouldn't be putting shiny little spherical things in his/her mouth, especially the colored ones. toddlers/infants putting objects in their mouth isn't all about eating/being hungry, its also largely about wanting to 'learn' an object.

i can't see how the sellers of these things didn't see this issue coming up, maybe they were too greedy selling $1 of magnets for $40 to care.

BUT!!!!! BE!!!! EXCITED!!!!

Haha, I'm with you Ed...

Ok, so what's my slickest option for buckyballs or buckycubes, fake or not, on any site that will get mailed to me before Christmas?

Buckyballs are slightly better than generics. But Neoballs by the zen magnet company are slightly better than Buckyballs. Consistency of size matters. And unlike Bucky, they're not throwing in the towel.
http://gizmodo.com/neoballs

Use coupon code "ignition" for a 1 cent discount per sphere.
http://neoballs.com/purchase-neoballs/

Comes out to $20.12 for 216 Nickel after shipping, and $35.24 for two sets of Nickel.

HAHAHAHA

That is brilliant... Wow...

In for a set of 10 using google checkout. Thanks!

Nice, just placed an order for 216 nickle balls for $11.20 at http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fr...11883.html

Whee! Got a couple originals. Great for office secret santa gifts xD

If there shipping is anything like it was during the $5 set sell-off, you will be lucking to get them before next Christmas.

Your link is screwed up, please fix.

Seriously. They made quite a few people angry.
http://www.reddit.com/r/geek/comm...r_5_prank/

como chingan con estas madres :/

i got the email and was going to post it literally 3 minutes after i got the email it was already posted hahah

The Crazycouponuntiljan20 code works out slightly better. It gives you 2 cents off each sphere.

I purchased through google checkout and it charged me $5.95 shipping for two sets!! BUY FROM GOOGLE CHECKOUT!!

Does anybody actually think they are going out of business anytime soon? I get one email a day for a new "BUCKY BALL GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE" for the past 3 weeks. What is this, a furniture warehouse? I'm starting to regret buying anything from them.

BuckYeah gets you the 216 bucky balls for $15, but still kind of pricey.

These guys are just annoying now, spamming my inbox every day. Glad I got 15 sets for $5/each with $5 shipping. = $80

after countless sllickdeals posts on bucky balls, I have finally decided to buy them. To me, they look like junk and a waste of money...but you guys seem to love them so much. and i trust you all (i have discovered so many awesome products from slickdeals postings), so i went ahead and bought it.

$6 for shipping kills it!

My toddler will love these.

i lol'd

Absolutely!

They may cause some constipation, though

Fixed that for ya! :D

Look for the next slickdeals posting about jumping off of bridges! :P

lol...i guess that will be my last slickdeals post.

Duh
 

Are you you two dumb?? Read their website! Frank n beans! :D:wave:

You've heard about our ongoing battle with the CPSC.
Due to their baseless and relentless legal badgering,
we've sadly decided to stop production of Buckyballs and Buckycubes.

Yes! Grabbed another set. This can go nicely with my other 2 sets. Serve this shit for dinner! :P

It's happy... it's fun. It's Happy Fun Ball! :-)

The shipping is as much as the item? I don't get why the cost to ship is so expensive, the boxes are very small.

I have a whole case of these things, and I still got suckered into buying one more set. :(

Edit: If anyone's curious, cubes are a pain in the butt to piece back together; Buy them as stocking stuffers.

To offset the discount offered, and to maximize tax deduction.

I've received two (2) emails from BB bragging about this and a $15 Buckballs deal ... AFTER the deadline of the promotion. What good does it do anyone to send out an offer 15 minutes AFTER it expires?

Yeah, I'll give them more of my business ...

They never said when they would stop.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Is anyone besides me unimpressed with buckyballs? I got a set as a gift and after playing with them for about 15 minutes they have not been out of the box since.

My bad, I assumed it was like the deal they had before. That sucks. No deal.

Buckyballs might not even go out of business. If they sell them like Neoballs does (individually), then CPSC can't do anything about it.

I'm waiting until 7:00pm EST, with the 60% off I can get 864 balls for $79! (4 sets * 216 = 864 balls. $40 * 4 = $160 x 60% discount = $64 + $15 shipped!)

just placed an order after the BuckYeah promotion ended. still went through for me so may still work for those that are interested

FYI -
I placed order via Google wallet. I paid only 5.95 for shipping; no matter items I ordered.

Just noticed that. That sucks.

They don't catch everyone's interests. But check out magnetspheres.com if you want to see what people do with them.

Neoballs doesn't. Use "ignition" for better prices than buckyball's mediocre sale.

Disagree. Because $29.99 is a ridiculously STUPID price to pay for these mildly amusing desk toys. $6 is the price they should be normally. The only time I bought them was when they were on sale for $5. Even then they just sit in my cupboard at work. Ignorance is paying $30 for magnet balls.

Sounds like my life

Children are smarter than you give them credit for if they're actually approached like they're capable of learning. My three year old niece knows not to swallow gum or toothpaste. Is she curious about the world? Sure. That doesn't mean she runs around putting things in her mouth. She is old enough to understand the dangers because we have all explained it to her.

And if we were speaking about kids even younger then there is no reason you should have tiny objects within their reach, as a parent or caregiver. But different strokes for different folks.

But if a parent chooses to be negligent then they don't have the right complain to Clorox when your child swallows the bleach you left out. And they definitely don't have the right to petition for the rest of us to be legislated by the lowest common denominator.

These things are about as fun as a prostate exam, except the greasy feeling you get with a prostate exam lasts slightly longer .

Seriously. Why is it that there are no reports of household pets eating these things? Oh right, because animals know not to eat non-foods.

GOT 3 sets of cubes! thanks!

Yeah, these are supposed to be banned.

http://us.gizmodo.com/5929064/buc...y-the-feds

not yet :)

Gotta love the government shutting someone down when the buyers should hold some responsibility...

Unless they start selling individually.
http://gizmodo.com/neoballs

I tried the 5pm and 6pm codes, put my info in and clicked "Proceed to Checkout" . Not seeing any discount applied. Any ideas?

I bought a few sets. Will donate them to local preschool for the the little ones to snack on. What can I say, I'm charitable like that, and it is the holiday season...

Bite your tongue, you anti-American. You are not responsible for ANYTHING in this country, unless you are either a small business owner and/or wealthy. Didn't you get the memo?

Oops just read the memo. I also just installed the mandatory web cams the Government is making us install in our homes so they can keep up on things. :)

This price is meh... plus cubes are lame, if you are gonna get one, i highly recommend buckyballs. way more fun.

So has anyone done the math which is the cheapest deal of them all? They all look like crap to me compared to the previous $5 or so deal..

All Sets of 125 of Balls and Cubes are $10 with the Promo Code "SuckitCPSC"

I actually like the fact that they're rare earth (neodymium, I believe) magnets.. Don't think I'll have any problem with or desire to swallow these, and wouldn't necessarily want to buy them for a child to begin with.

Oddly tempting, in a way..

Worse deal than earlier unless it includes free shipping and even then its kind of sucky.

These are highly dangerous for adults too. Work suicide without the mess.

In for 10- great gifts for co workers :)

These guys have been trying to unload these things forever. I'll hold out until they're essentially giving them away.

For all those buying for Christmas, know that there shipping takes FOREVER. I think it took 3-4 weeks during the $5 fire sale.

this +1

ya, I still get a better price (than any deal) at http://neoballs.com/purchase-neoballs/ with the -2c each coupon mentioned back a few pages.

if you payed retail, this is slick. if you price compare, not so much.

FYI, not sure if anyone mentioned this or not, but if you pay through Google Checkout, you only get charged $5.95 for shipping, even if it's > 1 item. I ordered 4 125-count bucky ball sets (classic, gold, black and silver) for $10 each, plus $5.95 s/h, for a total of $45.95. The website said S/H would be about twice that. Seems like a payment glitch.

These have been dropping in price since they announced a few months ago they were closing down. I get a sales special email from them EVERY DAY! I bought them when they were $5 each with free shipping a few months ago. Bought 4 sets. Taht is the cheapest they have been (was a FP slickdeal). Now I get emails from them every day.

All y'all complaining about the daily emails, you do realize that there's an unsubscribe link at the bottom, right?

True, but they will be out of business soon anyway. Too lazy to click, rather wait. LOL!

Indeed. +1

Your avatar is scary. :-O

what are these anyway?

I was about to launch into a tirade for you reminding me of my last prostate exam...until I saw your avatar. Forgiven friend, keep up the good work. ;)

I gave up on these jokers a long time ago. Painfully bad customer service. If there's a problem with your order, it's just too damned bad for you.

But according to Obama you didn't build that small business.

Um. Seriously?? All this for a load of magnets??? :wtf: Am I missing something??

"According to Obama, you didn't build that small business [without help from public infrastructure]" Fixed that for you.

so whats going on GameOn doesn't do anything anymore or what?

I got here late.

No return/ Exchange
 

I bough this at full price before, and I tried to cancel it within 10 minutes of purchase I was unable to cancel it. and they have No return or exchange policy. I paid $36 and because i mistakenly bought it, but they had no cancel option.

that's fine. consider that purchase as a boost for our economy.

I placed an order before I knew about the google checkout shipping and I asked for a cancel immediately via email and they were able to cancel it

Yeah I don't think they care anymore. They just want to clear everything out.

Yeah, they are about to go out of business and were always jerks anyway. They care nothing now about good customer relations or bad reviews.

In for 6. I used Google Checkout and was only charged flat 5.95 shipping

They were ignorant about a situation so I disputed on google checkout for a refund. No response so I got to keep the buckyballs and my money. :lmao:

Anyone have a black and a gold pack of 125 theyd sell i just missed out on them other day. :(

Don't worry. I'm sure that they will magically find more and have a sale for $5/set soon.

Cool...and this i know to use google checkout ...i noticed after was too lare...$13 shipping on 4 sets :/

:lmao::lmao:

Based on a suggestion from one of the other posters on this thread, I bought some Zen magnets instead. Afterwards, I saw a video that played a voicemail of the owner of Buckballs threatening to sue. I'm glad I didn't give them any money.

In for 4. I used Google Checkout as well. Flat 5.95 shipping. Thanks! :bounce:

Can't you people just order your magnets at a tenth of the cost without the hype and packaging?

has anyone's order shipped out yet?

wish the buckyballs can survival the issue

nope. It says in confirmation email can take up to 15 business days to ship, though most will ship within 5-10

That's crazy... I was hoping to get these before Christmas. :(

This deal is making me hungry.

Melts in your mouth, not in your hand. :bounce:
