Neocube spheres used to form different shapes

Neodymium magnet toys are toys consisting of or incorporating neodymium magnets. Most commonly they are magnetic construction sets or magnetic sphere building toys. They are sometimes marketed as executive toys. The first neodymium magnet toy set was Neocube, developed by Chris Reda from Pittsburgh, United States in 2008. He got the idea after using magnets to keep track of his pens.^[1] Similar products have since been offered under several other names such as Nanodot, Buckyball, and Zen Magnets.
