I tried to find one for me and my kiddies, but they don't make them anymore. You have to purchase one off of E-Bay and hope all the parts are in the box. Of course, they want "antique" pricing.
Aren't those crop circles from last year AWESOME! They get better every year. I am hoping that 2010 reveals some new artwork to inspire us. Over time, they have become increasingly complex.
Well, planting season will soon enough come to the northern hemisphere, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this year's offerings/signals/messages will look like.

Well said. I am not convinced that all of them are college pranksters of local pub drunks or landlords attempting to make a few bucks. As yourself, those designs are exquisite and truly capture your imagination about significance.
Still, the original pranksters in the UK caused my doubt and give the increasing technical detail, I think it is possible to perform this stuff (given a team of friends) to make MORE of it.
If there truly were some form of message ( from anyone), why don't the crop circles become simpler with time?
i'd be more inclined to accept the possibility of divine or alien intervention if one of these things would appear in a field without tractor tracks in it, with features that werent connected to each other by at least a narrow path, or features that werent within jumping distance of another feature.
we need one perfect design in a dense field of vegetation (dense enough to reveal footprints) without tractor tracks, consisting of multiple features isolated from each other by more than polevaulting distance.
might be an interesting project for a billionaire who owns a helicopter.
I might add one teenie tiny, tid bit: I haven't seen a popularly photographed crop circle that was poorly constructed anywhere. It isn't like a pile of pranksters never make mistakes, year after year. And this stuff has been on-going for years around the world.
who's gonna waste film and publicity on a slipshod crop circle?
anyhow, let's start thinking of tools...
how bout, for more-or-less instant circles... (that would be the smaller circles) a piece of steel tubing, with a hole drilled in it so you can slip it over a piece rebar you've driven into the ground to serve as a pivot.
you could even make the steel tubing telescopic, so you could do different sizes of circles with one tool.
just rotate the tubing once on the rebar, and you've got your perfect circle.
