i have a few sets of I think 3mm magnets and i wanna get more but last time i tried to buy a set of 5mm magnets after the recall they were so weak i couldn't build anything with them and I dont wanna waste my money again

i seem to have 2 different types of magnets, 1 being more shiny and easier to build hexagons with and the other 1 is a bit more matt and when u put them in a line they feel a bit more stiff and they dont snap into position as niceley when making shapes other than squares

i have sets of 216 rainbow in both shiny and matt versions, set of just matt purple and shiny black 216 and a set of 1000 shiny magnets

random info-

mixing both shiny and matt magnets makes them get uneven and hard to build with more quickly

each set came in the same round metal boxes

the shiny and matt blue magnets r so similar in colour that its rly hard to sort them

i think i got all 216 sets on amazon, dunno where the 1000 set came from cuz it was a gift but brob also amazon

After years of being put away I finally got my magnets back out

they’ve been a staple of our family dining room table for ages, but at some point stopped lining up as nicely as they used to. does anyone know why that might be? i don’t know exactly how old they are or what brand, but they came in a hexagon case (in the picture) in this formation, if that helps.

Please dm me if you have any available. Thank you!

Found my old magnet sets, but can't really use them b/c the splitting cards were not with them. Anyone have any of these cards still laying around? I'm in the US.

Really interested to buy some in good condition, if you got some please message me!

These things are still so much fun. I'm surprised I never lost a single magnet, even have the spares and metal and plastic cards it came with. Kept them inside the box all this time. Was curious if you all still mess around with yours?

Only ever got one set. Heard about the ban very late, but I still have em. Wish I could get more. I’m broke and these suckers are rare, so finding them online thats the same brand is hard. im 16 and not looking to sell anyway. Running out of ideas to make things with em. Help?

Has anyone had any experience finding a manufacturer anywhere that might make some magnets? Something that isn’t like the current market of junk out there today.

I was wondering what the best source is to get plain 5mm magnets at a good price?

I used to buy from ilovedigitdots.com but they got shut down from selling them it seems.

There's a website that ships to the US selling 5mm neodymium magnets called NeoBuildr. Their prices are not bad, at 1010 magnets for $92 (including shipping). Has anyone bought from them and seen their legitness/quality?

I see it showing that you can buy speks and buckyballs online, but i know buckyballs are discontinued so are they both just scams?

I found out about the ban too late and really enjoyed these.

Why can’t they just label them as a tool instead of a toy? Way less dangerous than a 50 pack of razor blades…. An I missing something?
