    Home Depot/Lowes/Ace Hardware/Michaels/Hobby Lobby do not carry toy-sized pins or screws. I've asked. Not that they wouldn't carry a substitute like small nails or something tho. Just nothing that looks like what's put into kids toys.

    MAYBE a hobby shop. If you can find a good one. The hobbytown USA near me does not. But they have tiny screws for model planes & cars tho. They aren't super tiny, but they are small. Maybe the right size for Magnus?
