So I spent an hour yesterday hitting up Hobby Lobby and home depot looking for disc magnets to magnetize my 'Fexs. I'm getting frustrated...

No luck, the smallest size was 1/2". Does anyone know a good place on the 'Net to picked up Disc Magnets that would work for 'Fex sized creatures and possibly Warriors?

I've always used K&J Magnetics (http://www.kjmagnetics.com/) but others have used Amazing Magnets (http://www.amazingmagnets.com/) or Magcraft (http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/).

The 3/16" x 1/16" disc magnets (D31, http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D31) from K&J would probably meet your needs

Shop around, I've found a lot of the sites to be a lot more expensive than my primary magnet source; http://www.gaussboys.com/

I just got ~300 magnets shipped and it cost me around 20 bucks.

K&J happens to have the little magnets I use in modeling on clearance at 15$ for 500. Hard to beat that

I have been getting those at Wal-Mart for just a couple of bucks. I just cut them to whatever size I need. They are very handy.

I swear by K&J as well. They also always send a little baggie of random freebies as well.

Those little freebies are nice. In fact, one magnet they sent me fit the stub of my baneblade perfectly and now holds the main gun.
