==Where can I get some pyramids?==
 
As of 2024, Looney Pyramids are most readily available for purchase in the form of rounded-tip, die-injected plastic pieces. The most abundant current source of these is [https://store.looneylabs.com/products/pyramid-arcade Pyramid Arcade], the multi-game set sold via the [https://store.looneylabs.com/ Looney Labs store]. Retail game and book shops are also a good source of Looney Pyramids, sold in boxed copies of [[Zendo]], [[Nomids]], [[Martian Chess]], [[Ice Duo]], and [[Homeworlds]]. The color Silver can be obtained only from the Looney Labs store website when buying a copy of [[Martian Chess]] and selecting the silver option, which costs extra compared to the standard Martian Red color for that product. The color Pink can only be obtained through buying the zippered-pouch set of [[Pink Hijinks]]. The color Kickstarter Green can be purchased directly from the website, and is the only product where pyramids can be obtained without an accompanying game or set of rules.

===Secondhand Market Availability===
 
To acquire the older style of injection-molded pyramids with the pointed tips, search second-hand markets for the terms [[Treehouse]], [[Ice Dice]], and [[Pink Hijinks]]. Look out for clear tubes, and use the terms "Icehouse" and "Icehouse Pieces" in your search terms, as these were the terms used when pyramids were sold this way.
<br>
<br><br>For rare pyramids such as the semi-precious stone pieces that used to be made by [[Crystal Caste]], check second-hand markets such as eBay.
You can also acquire pyramids by making them yourself via folding [[Paper Icehouse|paper pieces]], or even making [[Giant pieces|giant cardboard pieces]].<br>
===Making Your Own Pyramids===
<br>
You can also acquire pyramids by [[Making pieces|making them yourself]] via folding [[Paper Icehouse|paper pieces]], or even making [[Giant pieces|giant cardboard pieces]]. If you have access to a 3D printer, there are files available online to [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4894658 3D print plastic pyramids]. The benefit of doing this is that you can use any filament you have, which means you can create sets of pyramids in unconventional colors.
