BuckyBalls - clever magnetic building spheres

I wasn't entirely sure if BuckyBalls really qualified as mechanical toys, but a) they are magnets, b) they can be used to construct all kinds of crazy shapes, and c) they're just plain cool.

You can now get them in silver, gold, or black (also in 'original', but I'm not sure how that differs from silver).

They have the full selection of BuckyBalls over at Thinkgeek.com.
