Magnets. Is there anything they can't do? Well, there are lots of things they can't do but that doesn't make them any less suitable as a desk-top stress buster. The NeoCube Alpha has arrived at IWOOT Towers and is impossible to put down. This magnetic puzzle is made up of 216 metal ball bearings and it doesn't have any solution - you're just supposed to play with it. Well, if you want to aim for some sort of goal you can always try and make them into a cube (it's not as easy as you'd think). It may sound ludicrous, but this is really, REALLY addictive. You can make loads of different shapes with them, build yourself a little pyramid, make a Geiger-esque statue - just let your imagination run wild and you'll almost forget you've got it in your hand.

Intriguing, and very, very addictive !
The Neo Cube is the perfect way to release all that creativity, ideal for the office, you'll find yourself constantly breaking it apart and creating random shapes .. I'm yet to perfect the cube but I wont be beaten ! Some of the spherical magnets seem to have a little less polarity which adds to the challenge !
The Neo Cube is an ideal gift for both kids and adults.

OK - it's not as easy as the video shows, at least not with the amount of practice I have had. And there is another problem: a long time ago I gave up biting my nails. Since then I've kicked the fag habit. Hell just recently I've come off heroin and I've just managed without crack - BUT I CAN'T GET OFF THIS NEOCUBE. It is so frustrating because there is always just one more shape to try.... It's so bad my wife has recently started dressing up in white coats, and all her friends too. At least I think its the wife, I haven't really had time to look........

The Neo Cube is so amazing! From the moment I opened the pack to now I've found myself hooked on it. Hours of my time have been spent trying to make random shapes. It has been quite frustrating while attempting a perfect cube yet I've kept on trying (I hope to get it right one day). I know lots of people who now want one and a few who wont admit to wanting one. It might seem like a lot of money but trust me it is worth every penny!!

Absolutely addictive, don't take it anywhere you need to get stuff done because you just won't! I've only just put it down to write a review and I want more!! Perfected the cube but the pyramid alludes me. Keep trying!
