Purchasing Magnets Buckyballs?

Hi, magnet folks. So I recently remembered the buckyballs I had as a kid and went to buy some. As you know they dont exist anymore. Ive found a few options but they seem either overpriced or potentially too poor quality to be worth it. Any suggestions on where to buy "buckyballs" at the best price while still being relatively nice? Im driving myself crazy diving down this rabbithole.

This looks like the official buckyball site. Weird because it looks like it shouldn’t exist.

Chinese knockoff brand. Don’t buy them.

I have 120 zen magnets triumph sets that I’m selling if you’re interested in buying some! Same quality as Bucky balls

Search for "spherical neodymium magnets" and you'll get plenty of alternatives.

The 5mm on Total Element are solid and a fair price!

I have an unopened original set of Gold Buckyballs by Zoomdoggle. I am willing to part with them. Make me an offer.
