Comline Magnet Replacement ?

I have a 9004 that's a couple years old and the magnets have rusted. I'm looking to replace them but new magnets are looking like $30 A piece. Is that right?

More often than not the magnets are not rusting, so double check before replacing-

This is the current model magnet used with the 9004-

Yep, my bad, wiped it down and looks much better. Both of my 9004 have the older model magnets.

These magnets have a distinct advantage in that absolutely nothing in them is toxic, but the 3D surface can attract iron that is very hard to remove and stains far more than the smooth sealed surface on the newest ones.
