Buckyballs $5 for anything EDIT: Only for 125 counts

[DisgruntledVirus]

Just got an email stating all Buckyball products are $5. Site is slammed right now, but if you're interested...

http://www.getbuckyballs.com/

It's only good 1-6 PM EST

EDIT: Turns out it's $5 for the 125 count and bars ONLY. The 216 count are NOT included in this. Just got to their ordering page

 

[JTsyo]

main page on the site says $10. though I can't shop for anything due to site issues so might be right.

The e-mail I got said all products.. but I can't confirm as I can't get through..

 

[funboy6942]

WOOT! I got me some balls and cubes.

It says all products, but as far as I can tell, the 216s have been removed from the website.

Yup, saw the same thing after I finally got through.

Not sure what you guys are looking at, but everything on the website is $5. That includes the 125 balls and cubes, the 36 bars, the 8 bigs, and the book they sell. Some stuff out of stock, and Juiio is correct that there are no 216 sets on the site, but this sale is NOT limited to the balls. Just grabbed several assorted sets to use as holiday gifts.

We're saying is they used to have 216 sets up. They took them away for this sale.

I guess I was responding to a comment saying it was limited to 125s as opposed to everything on the site. Either way, great price, and still decent selection left (only a few items oos).

 

[Imported]

Its still a great price, I agree. I just thought it was a little bit of a bait and switch. I've previously ordered 216 sets from them when they had other sales going on and was hoping to land a few more at $5 a set.

It's 125 cubes/balls. Or the 8 big balls. The bars are OOS and have been. Soooo for my view it is only 125 size sets on sale.

 

[cytoSiN]

Bigs OOS now too. Grabbed one set, went back to grab another for my office neighbor, and they're gone.

 

[wirednuts]

i dont need more useless crap, but something tells me i would find a use for these magnets someday. wish i could think of something though, because i certainly dont want them just to look at

Coul get 4 for $20 and make one large cube...good idea? How big are these?

Don't forget shipping, which is $5.95 (one charge, doesn't seem to matter how many you order), plus state sales tax. For me (NY), 4 cost $28.26.

They're small. You could fit 7 on a penny without overlapping the edges.

Hmm, wonder if this is the end of bucky balls? Looks like a closeout.

They've been having tons of sales (many posted on this forum) for months given the CPSC complaints and lawsuits regarding product safety. I think they're blowing through stock "in case shit."

 

[amdhunter]

Dammit, all I wanted was the big balls and bars.
The other ones are too small to keep around my dog.

Edit: Bought 2 sets of cubes. I will just have to be careful around my dog with them. He's never swallowed anything in his life, but the news actually has me paranoid about these.

You should be...they're really really dangerous if you swallow more than one, which is why CPSC is on a crusade to kill them. But they're not really toys, and certainly not for children or animals, so they have their place like everything else. They come with a plastic case, so when you're not using them, keep them in the case and you shouldn't have to worry.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Heh the 216s are back on their site after the sale. A little shady to say "everything on the site" then remove half the stuff :hmm:

 

[funboy6942]

Even so, I got 250 balls for $10 instead of 216 for $40, so Im not going to complain

 

[SparkyJJO]

I don't disagree with you there I might have ordered some had I seen this in time.

 

[Elixer]

Hmm, I assume everyone is getting this:

Thanks for your recent order!

We're working around the Buckin' clock to make sure your order is fulfilled and out the door as soon as possible. Just a heads up though... confirmation emails are taking longer than usual to reach you. No need to panic! The good news is: we've got your order, and you'll have your order confirmations within the next 24-48 hrs.

Orders will ship out within the next 14 business days, but trust us... these Balls (and Cubes) are worth the wait!

Thanks for your patience and continued support in keeping Bucky alive and well.

Cheers,

Team Bucky
