Win A Set Of BuckyBalls By Leaving A Comment

By David Ponce

Update 2: Sorry guys, the promo code is “ohgiz” and not the one at the bottom of this article. 20% off!

We wrote about BuckyBalls a few days ago and the company got in touch, offering some sets as giveaways. If you don’t know, BuckyBalls are 216 tiny magnet balls that can be re-arranged in any number of ways. I’ve got mine on my desk right now, and they’re awesome!

We’ve got three up for grabs, and all you got to do is leave a comment on this post.

Yeah… entering is that simple. Winning is different, since we’ll choose winners not at random, but at our discretion. And by “our”, I mean my dictatorial opinion. It might be the most entertaining comments, or the most compelling, or the most creative… I’ll decide. In other words, earn your BuyckyBalls guys; it just takes a little comment.

Oh yeah, and enter once. Be nice. We’ll be checking.

Update: Oh yeah, guys, I almost forgot. If you don’t win, you can still be a winner by entering promo code “ohgizmo” and get 20% off your own set of BuckyBalls!

Whelp…Entering to win a set of balls. I used to have my own, but then I got married. I was going to purchase my own set, but I know my wife would just take them and play with them when I wasn’t home. I’d love to win my own set of balls, should it be my chance.

The balls are cool, real cool… but the fact that they're packaged in a jar is bucking brilliant.

I could write some clever remark, like a magnet related joke, or a pun, or even play with the word Bucky and it’s endless set of possibilities to rhyme. looking over past comments I seem to have been beaten to the punch. This is not the wittiest, or cleverest comment, but it has a fair deal of self-introspection and I’d really like a pair of Bucky Balls so… yeah.

I've left your previous post about bucky balls open in my browser for 3 days as a reminder to go buy some. It could be years before I get any of that sweet rare earth magnet action, unless I get lucky this time…

I am only leaving a comment in the hopes of winning. To wax wit would possibly increase my chances, but considering that winners are chosen at the discretion of the editors, well; one can only post and hope. I would definitely love a set of these.

Peace.

these look awesome!

Out of 162 comment thus far only ONE person has mentioned who Bucky actually is! Buckminster Fuller was a man ahead of his time. He had invented so many things that are still considered to be ahead of this time.
While in his prime, he envisioned and prototyped a dome or sphere that was so structurally sound that no matter what size you build, with no supporting columns internally or externally. Many buildings showed this design, one famous one was the Montreal Biosphere (look it up) or you may be more familiar with “Spaceship Earth” better known as Epcot. They were so strong and perfect that they have been used for many buildings and sports complexes.
They are even creating molecules that are in the shape of mini “Epcots” and they have named them “Bucky Balls”. They are hollow balls that are comprised entirely of carbon and are incredibly strong for their size. They are trying to use them in applications of material where tensile strength is needed.
Just thought I would share a little about what “Bucky Balls” are all about. I had first heard about him in college where I studied design. I hope the winners of this contest read this to know a little more of what they had won.

Still, so far, three people actually made reference to Mr. Fuller — you excluded — though they may not have explained his roll behind Bucky Balls.

Is that because I posted exactly what you've thought or because I can spell much better than you?

Imagine proposing with a buckyball ring. Even better than using a ring pop!
