Rare Earth magnet supplier for armor attachments

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this, so if it's not please move it to the appropriate are.
I just bought 100 1/8x1/6" and 50 1/4x1/10" rare earth magnets for under $12 with free shipping from a place called TotalElement. I just wanted to pass this along for others who are interested in using the magnets for attaching their armor. I thought this was a great price on bulk magnets. I bought the 1/8" diamond for the RF stalk on my helmet, and the larger ones for the armor.

I don't know if this is the right board or not, either, but that's an awesome find!  Thank you for posting this!

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if I'll need any for my armor, but I've got other costumes that I can use them for.

Do you know what the shipping turnaround time is?  Found a bunch of good priced magnets, but most are from China and take a month or two to show up.

At the very least, myself and the rest of the steel Mandos can pick up a bunch of these to throw at each other when bored at slow troops. :laugh:

Not really related, but something some might find interesting... I own and run an escape room, and I'm always looking at making new gadgets and cool things.  I came across these magnets.

This awesome company found a way to design special polarities withing magnets, that allow them to do things never been done before.  Magnets may attract each other from far away, then repel at close distances.  They may be fused together, unless spun at a certain angle and then they release from each other.  I'm sure there are ways to incorporate these magnets into costume building, and maybe even take it to the next level.  Have a peek yourself

They also make low profile magnets that can be used right on electronics without frying them...

That is really cool!

Just ordered a set of 1/2x1/8" magnets, let's hope these will fix the issues with my wife's kit.

We need to troop and do this. Pull off a plate and try to catch the vest magnet with a thrown magnet.

That's how Mando's play horseshoes, the closer you get to the magnet, the better.

It's like us bored Marines throwing rocks at other rocks when we are bored.
