I don't find I need them on my 25's but the 40's are alsmost twoce as high with the same foot print so even when moving a unit more than a few inches, a clutz like me has been know to tilt a non-magnetic tray enough to drop figures!<br /><br />The real problem at the moment though is my sloped hills some of which are quite steep. Steep enough to tumble single figures if the point of balance is too high or they are leaning the wrong direction. the new magnet sheet bases and the toy style figures overcome this magnificently. I'm not worried about the heavier figures as they don't belong with this project anyway and are being phased out. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment and suggestion. <br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-34748808260760160712010-09-10T17:44:16.811-03:002010-09-10T17:44:16.811-03:00Thanks John, I actually have enough of the Litko s...Thanks John, I actually have enough of the Litko sheet magnet leftover from my experiments 3 years ago to set me up for my current and near future needs. but I'll keep the other in mind. <br /><br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-21160993556464490932010-09-10T17:09:34.249-03:002010-09-10T17:09:34.249-03:00Ross,

In my experience, not very often.<br /><br />I suspect that the sheet magnets, even with the heavier figures, will work for the most part . . . although they might not travel well.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-55066152490468167362010-09-10T13:44:50.687-03:002010-09-10T13:44:50.687-03:00Hi Ross,
