I like the look of the classic bricks but any Lego piece that has the cylinder can be converted to a magnetic building block this way. Naturally the thin plate pieces would need a very thin magnet which would probably not hold very well unless you had many of them.

This project may seem familiar to some. I wrote up these magnetic Legos (Lego? What is the official plural of Lego?) on my personal website in January and Make Blog picked it up.
