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! As always, keep an eye out for your next chance to win. There’s more on the way. Fun, right?

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.

3) Check back with our blog or Facebook page late Tuesday afternoon, November 29th, for the list of 7 lucky winners!*

Now for the fine print:

4) 7 WINNERS* will be chosen based on what we find funny, or creative, or completely random. Kind of vague criteria… but we’re big on “vague” here at Bucky HQ. No pressure. No direction. Just fun!

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

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.

This week, we asked that you go back to your roots and use a SINGLE set of Buckyballs to WIN a set of Purple Buckyballs!

We had so many great entries, we struggled to narrow it down to just 3 winners! It just goes to show you that when you put your minds to it, creativity abounds…no matter how many balls you handle.

Congratulations to the 3 lucky winners of this week’s contest on winning a set of PURPLE Limited Edition Buckyballs! (Our apologies for not re-posting the winning pics today. Due to technical difficulties, we are currently unable to do so. Sorry ’bout that. We’re hoping to re-post them ASAP!)

Normally, those words would send some of us running to a doctor. But this time around, there’s no need to panic. These purple balls are made for handling, and the more you play with them, the better.

That’s right. We’re talking about Limited Edition Purple Buckyballs.

Dying to get your hands on some? Well. We can’t blame you. So we’re kickin’ it old school this week and asking you to use ONE set of Buckyballs in ONE color to make something. Anything. And to post a picture of it.

We want to see what a single set of Buckyballs can make. And THREE lucky winners will win a FREE SET of Limited Edition Purple Buckyballs!>

Here’s the deal:

1) Post a pic of your creation to our Facebook page by midnight EST on Sunday, October 23rd. 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 on Monday afternoon, October 24th for the list of 3 lucky winners!*

Now for the fine print:

4) 3 WINNERS* will be chosen by some secret someones here at Bucky HQ.

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.

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

50% Blue-ish. 50% Green-ish. Our latest Limited Edition Buckyballs are a cross between blueberries and a pickle, and we couldn’t be happier about it.

But what happens when 216 Rare Earth Magnets arrive at Bucky HQ, and we can’t think of the perfect name for them?

We ask for YOUR help! We put the challenge out to our Buckyballs and Buckycubes fans. We had so many great responses, we had to up the winners to 5! Yep! True story. Winners were chosen on the ‘strict criteria’ of “it has to be fun-ish”.

So, who are the lucky 5? Meet your WINNERS!

Benny Rapp wins a set of Blue-ish Green-ish Buckyballs! : “Blue Steel” (an homage to Zoolander, of course!)

Alex Breshears wins a set of Blue-ish Green-ish Buckyballs! : “You-release-too-many-different-colors-for-me-to-justify-to-my-wife-blue-green”

Jessica Heisler wins a set of Blue-ish Green-ish Buckyballs! : “#07969A-ish”

No one is arguing that. But just what color are they? When the question was raised in the office, a near riot broke out. Some people think they’re ‘Seafoam’. Others insist they’re ‘Teal’. One guy just kept shouting ‘Smurf-Pickle’.

Finally we sent them to a lab. Turns out they’re exactly 50% Blue-ish, 50% Green-ish.

If you were the head honcho at Bucky HQ, what would you call ‘em? We want to know. And we’ll give away THREE sets of Blue-ish Green-ish Buckyballs to the lucky winners!*

Here’s the deal:

1) Post your idea for this ‘mystery color’ to our Facebook page by midnight EST on Thursday, September 29th. You can post to either the Buckyballs OR Buckycubes page. We’ll look at ‘em all!

2) Only ONE entry per person on each page, please.

3) Check back with our blog or Facebook page on Friday afternoon, September 30th for the list of 3 lucky winners!*

Now for the fine print:

4) 3 WINNERS* will be chosen based secret criteria, but here’s a hint: anything that makes us laugh is always a good thing.

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.

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