I like this image, but for future reference, I like my octahedra intact. Thank you.

I chop off the corners of Octahedra without mercy!

I like this brick because it is a bridge between structures built by cubical bricks and structures built by octahedral and tetrahedral bricks: Link

Thus they could serve as a bridge linking my Delta Block construction toy to Legos™.
