We’ve always thought Bucky had a great social life…but thanks to these awesome entries, we also found out he’s an adrenalin junky, a star athlete, likes long walks on a quiet beach (wonder what else his dating profile says?) and who knows what else behind closed doors.

We asked Reid, our newest addition to Team Buckyballs, to pick our winners. After much deliberation, he found he was overly-inspired, and selected 4 winners (originally 2!) and 2 runners up. Check ‘em out!

Winner: Stranded by Brian Sippel

Reid said: “Calling in an SOS? To be honest, Stranded Bucky doesn’t look like he has it too bad on this deserted island with a beautiful palm tree as refuge from the blazing hot sun.”

Winner: A Bucky Leprechaun Sits Down for a Picture by Joshua Herndon

Reid said: “This Bucky Leprechaun (by far the most appropriate usage of our Limited Edition Green Buckyballs) really leaves me wishing we could do March 17th all over again! Joshua, I guess you have the Luck of the Irish on your side because you are one of our winners!”

Winner: Biker Bucky by Elizabeth Piearcy

Reid said: “Biker Bucky better be careful the Bucky Police don’t stop him from cruising the streets without a helmet, especially given its crouched position~looks like this is one Bucky in need of speed!”

Winner: Bucky Baseball by Roberta Poling

Reid said: “With baseball season now under way, Baseball Bucky looks ready to take the field and make an immediate impact. Judging from its wide frame, my guess is this Bucky batter cleans up.”

And thanks to our Honorable Mentions…

Bucky Ninja Stealth Attack by Matthew Phillip Hansen

Reid said: “This is one Bucky I would not want to mess with. Really great design and use of Buckyballs here!”

Bucky Gone Wild by Zach Pitts

Reid said: “This gets honorable mention instead of a win only because we can’t see what happens under the pixilation… we think we know, but we can’t be sure !”

Amazing entries! Thanks to all of you for participating. Watching Bucky come to life was fun. Which is how it should be. Because let’s face it. Buckyballs are all about fun.

If your creation made it onto this page, you just won yourself a free set! Email your name and shipping info to: Support@GetBuckyballs.com, and we’ll get your prizes out to you! As always, keep an eye out for your next chance to win. There’s more on the way. How fun is that?

It’s contest time again… but this time you don’t need a set to win a free set.

People have always asked us where the name “Buckyballs” comes from.

We know the answer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun. Lets assume BUCKY stood for something… it’d have to be crazy… and fun (just like Buckyballs)… but what would it be?

Post your best Bucky Acronym to our Facebook or on Twitter and you’ll automatically be entered to win a free set of Buckyballs.

On Facebook

Post your Bucky Acronym like this…

Big

Ugly

Cardinals

Killed

Yodeling

… to our Facebook page before 11:59PM EST Sunday, April 3rd.

Ideally, you’ll post it as a comment right on the contest announcement – but we won’t fault you if you forget that bit and just post it to our wall.

Either way, we’ll pick our two favorite on Monday and award them a free set of Buckyballs!

On Twitter

It’s going to work just the same way, only you’ve got to add the hash-tag #BAG and short link http://bit.ly/hWKxTO to this page. Like this…

Banged Up Cats Kinda Yell http://bit.ly/hWKxTO #BAG

… before 11:59PM EST Sunday, April 3rd. We’ll pick our two favorite and award them a free set of Buckyballs Monday!

The fine print: There’s not much. Must be 18 to enter. Winners are chosen by Team Buckyballs. Have fun. That is all.

Winner #1: Alex Matthews Wins a Free Set of Buckyballs!

Alex’s “Yoshi” captures the wit n’ whimsy of that lovable dinosaur in green and silver 3D. BOOM. Winner.

Winner #2: Kevin Stolle Wins a Free Set of Buckyballs !

Come on, that is totally an iPod. It probably even plays Foreigner’s ‘Double Vision’.

Winner #3: Mitch Lustig Wins a Free Set of Buckyballs !

Winning smile. Confident stature. Green background. He nailed it!

Here’s the thing though, these 3 took the cake, but there are loads more deserving of mention. In fact, all of the entries were mind-bogglingly good. If you haven’t checked ‘em out yet, skip over to Facebook, click the pictures tab, and have a look for yourself.

And a shout out to our Twitter winners…
We asked you to finish the sentence, “Buckyballs http://bit.ly/ibPvyr is a #gamechanger because…”
