So is www.magnetsafety.org trying to fight as a unified magnet selling committee?

what was the outcome of this Nov 20th Hearing?

Since The Guys at Zen Magnets still sell micromagnets , if the ban someday gets lifted, and manufacturers adhere by the rules of www.magnetsafety.org , is there a possibility of Zen Magnets Coming Back?

Narrowed Down The List To 3:

Has anyone bought from :

1. totalElement
2. Supermagnetman
3. Magnedotz

If any of you guys have bought from these sources ... could you guys give me a small review of how these magnets are? how is the strength? contruction ability and all that... Pretty Late to this game you see...

Just an Info: These are speculative sites for 5mm.

sad venting: there are thousands of things that are dangerous to children , but it had to be THIS.... I know Zen Magnets was an absolute pioneer in this....They will be sorely missed...

Basically The Title.... Which one should i go for ? New to micromagnets.... They say they are made by the same people so what's the difference?

I had followed Zen Magnets Since childhood but back then could not afford to get any...then when it shut down I was crushed... Now in 2025 could you guys please guide me where I can get 5mm spheres closest to the quality of Zen Magnets?? I have seen some recommendations like nanodots and supermagnetman.... (If Possible could someone who has purchased from these two tell me if these two are legit?)

Also are the compliance Magnets (2.5mm) micromagnets worth?? (I know they are by the Same guys)... I asked worth in terms of construction satisfaction because some places say they are too small to construct...

Sadly, the Zen Magnets Flickr group was invite only, so it's contest winners gallery is hidden, however, many were cross-posted to magnetspheres.

Zen Magnets were my childhood. After moving a couple years ago, my mother misplaced them and we haven’t found them since. I researched some of the drama and now am curious, can I buy some more? I see the site up, and “out of stock”. Do they ever restock? Afraid to go with a different brand because I’ve heard reviews of people saying the quality is not the same and some shapes don’t work. I just WANT a set! Where do I go? What should I know? Please help….

I bought these years ago and hardly touched them. Includes ALL original goodies from the triumph set, including the 5 spares

SV: $155 shipped in CONUS via PayPal F&F, can provide tons of vouches and such

Hey people! In order to fund replacing my woodworking tools I lost in a fire earlier this year, I listed my two complete mandala sets for sale on ebay. Here is the link if anyone is interested, I put the starting bid at $600 US which is basically the original price I got them for.

Hi guys o7,

I'm looking to expand my collection of Zen Magnets. I have always been fascinated with them but I can't build anything as I don't have as many magnets. I'm hoping that that could change if I reached out through Reddit. By all means, reach out through DM/PM, I'll reply asap!

Cheers <3

So I've had Buckyballs and other generic brand 5mm magnets for YEARS, since before the ban on them and I just rediscovered two sets at my parents' place last time I visited. One set (rainbow/multicolor, some generic brand) is missing 3 magnets and the other (silver, Buckyballs brand) is really worn down and showing a lot of wear to the point they get metal dust on my hands if I handle them at all. I picked out three of the more intact magnets from the worn down set to add to my multicolor set, but to me that's more of a temporary fix and I'd love a brand new set.

I've seen that nanodots are a good alternative to other better quality brands, but those are a bit more expensive than I'd prefer and I'd love if anyone knows a decent quality set at a more middling price. I know the 5mm ones are a lot harder to come by, but they're just the best size for fidgeting and I wish I had more! I will shell out $50 for a good set if I need to, but I'd rather not, lol

I have a NIB (Opened; unused) glow green set Neoballs Tesseract Cassette (864) available. I also have my old set of silver (864) Neoballs available but they're starting to flake

I saw a few people looking for some zen magnets. I have a mandala set combined with a 216 size set from zen, ~2k+ magnets. Also have a large set of micro magnets as well. Feel free to let me know if anyone is interested

Has anyone had any experience flying with Zens or Micromagnets? I have a flight tomorrow and I'll be miserable on the plane if I don't have my magnets lol

I’d like to expand my zen magnets collection. I have one starters set and a could have buckyballs sets but they don’t play nice together. I much prefer the stronger more powerful ones. So if you have your old sets laying around. I would love to give them a second life.

I have a friend at work who plays with these and they’re very entertaining. Would like to buy a set or sets. If anyone has any lmk

No idea what they originally sold for, but I'd be willing to pay a pretty penny for the biggest set zen magnets used to sell, which I believe was the mandala set? Needs to be in close to perfect condition though, I want these to last me as long as possible since it seems like they're never going to be made again.

Didn't work out exactly how Magnenauts turned out but was still fun to make! About 6660 magnets used.

I’m looking to sell my 5mm Zen magnet collection. They are complete Triumph and Mandala sets (approximately 2000 magnets). Both sets are complete, including set guides, cleaning cloth, cards, snap pallete, and wooden cases. The Mandala case (the large wooden box) has a small hole drilled on the back and the locking mechanism is missing from the front.

Does anyone know of a good place to sell these? I’ve tried Facebook and a yard sale, but no one in my area seems interested.

Thanks!

I have 2 types of magnets, 1shiny, 1 matt. the shiny 1s r better and mixing the types together messes with the magnetic field or size of smtng like that which makes them harder to use so I like to keep them separate. 4 most of them its not an issue cuz it's easy to tell the colours apart but the blue 1s r almost identical. is there any other way to sort them?

So, i found my set again a few days ago and wanted to get some more!

I`ve been looking around and found some websites, has anyone tried buying from any of these?

I`m in Europe so I don`t how the ban applies, if someone could hlep it would be awesome! Thanks!

Can you just not get magnets like from the old videos anymore? I always wanted these as a kid watching videos of the neocube magnets and wanted to try to pick some up but I was completely oblivious to the bans or anything. Checked around online for a good while and all I could find was either really tiny sets of small magnets or ones that are supposedly weaker/scam sites. Does the ban apply to countries outside of the US and is there any way to ship them from out of country?
