This review is from: Zometool Bucky Ball Kit (Toy)

Zometool products have my full and hearty applause. I had a goal however of finding a product that would make more geometric shapes and it wasn't totally clear to me that Bucky Balls would not meet my demands. It's application is very limited because it contains only one shape in stick form to fit in one shape of the ball. It would seem that Creator 1 or some of the other Zometool products would be better suited to my needs. I look forward to exploring the other products. I only wish that they were more readily available in Canada!
