In a recent order of unsorted Lego, I got about 30 dark bluish gray magnets.
The kind you use for minifigure display. They aren't worth much on their
own. So I decided to play around with making scenes to display. I'm a limited
though on how much weight I can hang on them and they still adhere to the fridge.
What other creative usage ways have you come up with?

I bought 30 of them about a decade ago when they were dirt cheap. If you want
bigger designs, use multiple magnets and long plates to hold them together. We
used to have some 16x16 mosaics on the fridge and you can probably go bigger
than that so long as you keep reasonably flat.

I've used them at kids' birthday parties and school events. Tie balloons
to them and magnet them to anything and everything. No tape, no clean-up.
