LED throwies are so cool but does anyone know how much each costs or what cool things can be made with them?

Answer 1

Most people seem to assemble them on their own with bulk materials and tape. But there are some commercially available products that are pretty close to what you're talking about (it'll cost a more than doing it yourself, but you pay for convenience):

You may economize a little by buying LED + battery packs seperate from magnets. Here's the former:

And magnets can be bought here (the super strong ones sound about right):

Of course, you can probably get better prices than any of these by finding the right auction on eBay, but I can hardly link to those!

Hope this helps! Good luck!
