Step 3Get some magnets

I got a pack of 100, and a pack of 25. I needed 108 for the cube prototype. If I build another, I'm going to beef up 12 of the magnets - the 6 pairs that form the axles off the center cube, probably to twice the width, perhaps to the D63:

Just wondering: It says "Free Samples" on the packet. I've looked all over the K&J site and can't find any info about free stuff. Do you have to be a customer to get free samples?
