LOVE means never running out of Buckyballs.

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and that little winged guy in a diaper is practicing his aim. It’s all about love and attraction…and nothing attracts quite like Buckyballs. Once one Bucky finds another, the magic begins. You might call it L-O-V-E, Bucky-style!

This week, we want to see your special Valentine made of Buckyballs.

Make it for your someone special, or make it for Team Bucky! That’s right. It doesn’t matter who your Valentine is for…just make it festive and fun. (Looking for love this V-Day? Tag your Valentine so they see your submission!)

Sometimes, you need a little something extra to motivate you. Sometimes…you need that motivation with a side of sarcasm.

However you like to roll, we’re pretty sure (judging from the awesome contest entries) that you’re rolling at least 125 balls deep. Buckyballs, that is!

This week, we wanted you to create your own (de)motivational poster around Buckyballs. They were fun, they were clever…they were everything we’ve come to expect from our fans. Ready to see the 25 lucky winners of an Original Bucky Sidekick set? We got your winners RIGHT HERE:

Hey. We get it. You’re finding it difficult to get off the couch and go holiday shopping for your second cousin (twice removed). And who can blame you?

So we say…if you’re going to procrastinate, you might as well be rewarded for your (non) efforts!

Here’s the challenge this week: We want to see your version of the poster above. It can refer to anything you want…but it has to include Buckyballs. Make it movivational, or…er…procrastinational, and make it fun. Whatever you feel inspired by is fine with us!

Need a little help getting started? Look no further than: http://diy.despair.com/ . You can create your own ‘poster’ for your contest entry. Fun, right?

We’ll reward 25 winners with a Buckyballs Original Sidekick set! Oh, yeah. We said it. TWENTY FIVE WINNERS will be chosen!

Here’s the deal:

1) Post your “motivational poster” about Buckyballs to our Facebook page by midnight EST on Monday, December 19th. You can post to either the Buckyballs OR Buckycubes page. We’ll look at all entries on both pages.

2) Only ONE entry per person please. No posting to both pages!

3) Check back with our blog or Facebook page late Tuesday afternoon, December 20th, for the list of 25 lucky winners!*

Now for the fine print:

4) 25 WINNERS* will be chosen based on what we find motivating…or not. Confusted? Don’t be! There is no reason to why we like things…it’s just that funny feeling that tickles us in all the right places.

5) No hating on your other contestents! If it’s not FUN, it’s no good.

6) Winners* will email support@getbuckyballs.com with their first and last name, along with shipping address, and the word “WINNER” in the subject line. We’ll get your Sidekicks out ASAP!

*ALL contestents MUST BE 18 YRS AND OLDER, please.

An Original Sidekick just for (de)motivating us while mentioning Buckyballs? How fun is that?

We’ve got some serious ballers here at Bucky HQ. But we’re amazed, pretty much on daily basis, by what we see from our fans. The pics, the videos…the imagination behind these creations is as colorful as Buckyballs themselves!

What better way to show off your ballin’ skills than with a how-to video?

We asked you to post your most awesome creation in a how-to video. Who took the tutorials to a new level? Between the shapes, the music, the editing…we were awed. Inspired. Humbled by your genius (music from “The Legend of Zelda”? Amazing!).

No need to bite your fingernails in agonizing suspense (you’ll need them later to play with your balls). Take a look at your winners of the Bucky Book Kit:

Jason Peterson wins a Bucky Book Kit!

Matt Gelman wins a Bucky Book Kit!

Chance Evans wins a Bucky Book Kit!

Anthony Almond wins a Bucky Book Kit!

Michael Krivichkin wins a Bucky Book Kit!

Congratulations to the 5 winners of this week’s contest on winning a Bucky Book Kit!

Thanks to all of you who participated. Keep those videos coming…your fellow fans (and all of us at Bucky HQ) love ‘em!

If your creation made it onto this page, CONGRATULATIONS…you’ve WON! Email the word “WINNER” in the subject line, with your name and shipping info in the body of the email to: Support@GetBuckyballs.com, and we’ll get a BUCKY BOOK KIT out to you!

Buckyballs are better with the Big Book of Bucky (Vol. 1)..

The shapes. The instructions. The witty pop-culture references. The Big Book of Bucky takes Buckyballs to the next level. And let’s face it…so do our fans.

This time around, we’re ready for you to drop some knowledge on us.

What’s the most amazingly insane shape you’ve EVER created out of Buckyballs? And even more importantly…do you have what it takes to show us how you got there?

1) Post your “how-to-video” to our Facebook page by midnight EST on Monday, December 5th. You can post to either the Buckyballs OR Buckycubes page. We’ll view each and every one!

2) Only ONE entry per person please. No posting to both pages!

3) Check back with our blog or Facebook page late Tuesday afternoon, December 6th, for the list of 5 lucky winners!*

Now for the fine print:

4) 5 WINNERS* will be chosen based on what knocks our collective socks off. And, as we have one “remedial” Bucky Baller here at HQ, we’ll test the video for…er…follow-ability.

5) No hating on your other contestents! If it’s not FUN, it’s no good.

6) Winners* will email support@getbuckyballs.com with their first and last name, along with shipping address, and the word “WINNER” in the subject line. We’ll get your Book Kits out ASAP!

*ALL contestents MUST BE 18 YRS AND OLDER, please.

The Bucky Book Kit just for showing us yours? How fun is that?

Over here at Bucky HQ, we believe that just because something sounds boring doesn’t mean it has to be.

Black Friday? Nonsense. We made it as colorful as we possibly could with our biggest BALL contest YET!

What exactly DOES ROB G BGPP stand for? We had you decide. The results? Nothing short of colorful, fun, and amazing. Just like Buckyballs.

Congratulations to the 8 lucky winners of this week’s contest on winning a set of Buckyballs in the COLOR of their choice!

ROY G. BIV.

It’s something you learn as a kid. Each letter represents a color of the rainbow. But we say: ROY G. BIV is over. We never really liked indigo anyway.

Now it’s all about ROB G. BGPP, which has such a better ring to it. At Buckyballs, we’re bringing some COLOR to Black Friday this year.

We’re giving away 7 SETS of beautifully colored Buckyballs this time around! Yep. True story. SEVEN, to celebrate (er…commemorate?!) the visual feast that is ROB G. BGPP. 7 winners will get a set of Buckyballs, in the color of their choice. Sweet!

So, what do YOU think ROB G. BGPP stands for? Give us your best shot. Your most silly. Your ulitmate exercise in creativity. There is no wrong…only (b)right. We’ve given you an example here, but c’mon…we know you can do way better.

We at Bucky HQ have been hard at work, decking our halls with holiday balls.

Holiday Buckyballs, of course!

Sure, we’re excited about the fat guy…about the tree, the menorah, the soon-to-be-blackmail family photos with Aunt Martha in her QVC-inspired holiday sweater. But truth be told, we needed a stronger festive spirit around here. And we found it, in holiday songs about Buckyballs (and Buckycubes!). Now we’re humming along as we challenge our co-workers to a “chug the ‘nog” contest and play “hide the candycane”…

Congratulations to the 4 lucky winners of this week’s contest on winning a set of HOLIDAY Edition Buckyballs!

Meet your WINNERS!

Corey Mercer wins a set of HOLIDAY BUCKYBALLS!

“Oh Christmas Tree”…
Oh Buckyball tree Oh Buckyball tree,
How magnetic are your branches
The holiday green will make you shine
Or silver or blue if one’s name ends in “…stein”
Oh Buckyball tree Oh Buckyball tree,
How magnetic are your branches!

Laurie Scott Schetlick wins a set of HOLIDAY BUCKYBALLS!

“D… in a Box“…
Wow, you know it’s Christmas and my heart is open wide
Gonna give you something so you know what’s on my mind
A gift real special, so take off the top
… Take a look inside it’s my Buckyballs in a box

Coleman Timothy Jones wins a set of HOLIDAY BUCKYBALLS!

“The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”…
Every Buckyball down in Buckyballville liked Christmas a lot,
But the Grinch, who lived just north of Buckyballville, did not.
The Grinch hated Christmas — the whole Christmas season.
Oh, please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
… It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his BUCKYBALLS were two sizes too small.
And what happened then…? Well…in Buckyball-ville they say
That the Grinch’s small BUCKYBALLS grew three sizes that day!
And then the true meaning of Christmas came through,
And the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches… plus two.

Beth Goza wins a set of HOLIDAY BUCKYBALLS!

“The Little Drummer Boy“…
Come they told me, ba bum bum bum bum
A new Bucky shape to see, ba bum bum bum bum
Little bitty squares Bucky now brings, ba bum bum bum bum
To make even more cool things, ba bum bum bum bum,
… Buckyballsum bum bum bum, Buckyballsum bum bum bum,
So Buckyballs & Buckycubes make your holiday sing , ba bum bum bum bum…
When Bucky comes.

Thanks to all of you for sharing such creative carols!

Christmas is here!

Well, technically, Christmas is still weeks away. But there are already radio stations playing Christmas carols. And your neighborhood fat guy is already growing out his white beard. So, Christmas is here.

At Buckyballs, we’re getting in the spirit RIGHT NOW with the launch of Limited Edition Holiday Buckyballs: Sets of Red and Green or Blue and Silver.

Yep. True story. We’re decking these halls with holiday balls.

You know what that means. In the spirit of the holidays, we’re giving away a set of Limited Edition Holiday Buckyballs to 4 lucky winners. He/she who can make us laugh hardest, WINS!

BEHOLD! The contest criteria:

We want you to re-write the classics. Take your favorite Christmas carol (or if your spirit runs more toward the Menorah than the tree, your favorite Hannakuh song will do!) and replace one of the words in a line with “Buckyballs” or “Buckycubes”.
You can make it a little bit naughty or a lot bit nice. You’ll just have to take it up with the fat guy in the panda suit if you don’t make his list. Oh, wait. Er…that’s a different contest…

Here’s the deal:

1) Post your festive song line to our Facebook page by midnight EST on Friday, November 18th. You can post to either the Buckyballs OR Buckycubes page. We’ll look at ‘em all!

2) Only ONE entry per person please. No posting to both pages!

3) Check back with our blog or Facebook page late Monday afternoon, November 21st for the list of 4 lucky winners!*

Now for the fine print:

4) 4 WINNERS* will be chosen based on what makes us laugh the hardest. No rhyme, no reason. Just whatever tickles us in that special place.

5) No hating on your other contestents! If it’s not FUN, it’s no good.

6) Winners* will email support@getbuckyballs.com with their first and last name, along with shipping address, and the word “WINNER” in the subject line. Please let us know what color set you want: Red, Green, Blue or Silver!

*ALL contestents MUST BE 18 YRS AND OLDER, please.

A free set of Limited Edition Holiday Buckyballs for singing about your balls? How fun is that?
