Magnetoids

This pair of space-aged looking elipsoids will look intrigingly good in any work space, but it is only when they get together that the really odd stuff happens.

Driven by powerful magnetic attraction and repulsion, magnetoids will try to stay in perfect balance with each other. This magnetic balancing act results in a wide variety of mysterious chirping noises and movements that are at once both unnerving and mesmerizing.

Magnetoids are set to become the hottest new stress relieving gizmo - sure to find their way to a desk near you.

Why is it pointless?

What executive toy isn't?

Why is it cool?

They're a Newton's cradle for the new millennium.

Pointless comments

I've had a few of these, they are very loud when you are using them! They are awesome though. The best thing is throw them up in the air so they meet high up and spin like crazy on the way down at the same time you have to try and catch them again. Pointless... fairly cool in my opinion..

Upside: They just look cool & make a funny noise Downside: BORING - really boring really quickly

OK, so theyre totally cool, and totally pointless... but not magnetoids. Just because they are branded as magnetoids doesn't make them good. I have a pair of oidz, and a pair of "rattlesnake sound eggs". Only difference: the oidz were £10, and the eggs? 30 rupees. And they have just the same amount of wear on them. But don't just think of buying the branded product, just because it's...well... branded! It only costs more.

These are great!!

Oidz are the official Trademark holder of Magnetoids. They don`t wear as quickly as other brands and are the only ones to have stock in Hamleys, ToysRUS and Woolworths amongst others online. Beware of imitations.........
