The build quality on this one is not as high as I had anticipated (considering the cost). Though it is still good for blowing a mind now and again.

ha! I just googled for it after I saw it, same link. However cool it might be, I'm not paying 65$ + s&h for it!

I feel the same way about a Gomboc (self righting shape) http://www.gomboc-shop.com/

I'd love to play with one and leave it on my desk as a fidget toy but it's not worth 99 euro to me for just that.

But at least there is a reasonable reason for the Gomboc's high price: the exacting tolerances on the shape.
