Before we all get too excited about the prospect of killing,Oops I mean
getting rid of him, we must remember that we are not the the island with
him.Lets keep him there and observe his effects on the mental well being of
the other minifigs.

I have recently come out of my dark ages so please forgive me. What is the
deal with Timmy? Is he from a set, theme, maniac issue? I've seen pictures
of MOC's running him over, etc.

I couldn't agree more let's eliminate the non-minifig second class ABS.
Whomever is voting for Nellie has the right idea. Mike should probably be
next. And then the host. Then we will have our very own minifig battle
royale.

Actually after we get rid of the non-minifig classes,and the cheap borg
imitation host,we should make Timmy the host.That will really stir the pot up
a bit.

I remember asking the same question myself. ;-) (a long time ago!)
...Timmy is originally from the Time Cruisers' sets, and later beamed himself
somehow into freestyle. He is detested mostly everywhere. I never understood
why, until I got ahold of one of them... and then another, and another... they
are impossible to get rid of... and there is absolutely no use for one of
them, let alone *multiples*.
I hope that explains a little bit!

At least there's a use for the torso-
Use the head of the fellow on the right-
http://www.brickset.com/view.asp?Set=1822-1
(He's got orange-brown hair and green sunglasses, very cool)
Put it on the Timmy torso
And add Space Police II legs (white hips, green legs)
It's T-Man, my cool LEGO superhero!
The heads, I have no idea.

Even though I don't think I could ever do harm to any LEGO piece; if forced I
would choose Timmy's head. I'm really trying to think of a creative way to
destroy Timmy's head short of melting it. It's really hard to destroy ABS
minifig heads. Any Ideas folks?

Now hold on a second, Timmy is an essential part of the Lego universe. Every
world needs an innumerable horde of indistinguishably hideous creatures of
evil against which the forces of good can struggle. Tolkien had had the orcs,
Star Trek has the Borg, the United States has lawyers, and the Lego world has
Timmy.
It is almost certain that the Timmies have dark and supernatural powers, which
allow them to breed explosively in giant swarms. It is unclear how they've
managed to spread so virulently into so many Lego sets - two theories under
investigation are that they are either able to disguise their eggs to look
like innocuous Lego bricks, or they are the product of some kind of Timmy
retrovirus which lays dormant on the surface of regular bricks until picked up
by unsuspecting minifigs during the course of unprotected construction.
I, for one, can never seem to get enough Timmies for my Timmy Army, which is
used to train Anti-Timmy Shock Troops and for 'research' purposes.

I thought Timmy was a crossover from the LEGO anti-universe! :-o

Youre giving Timmy way too much credit here. I'm trying to rack my brain
for some analogy for the existense of Timmy in LEGO to another situation real
or fictional. I CAN'T FIND ONE!! He is just that useless and horrible.
I've thought about making a Timmy cannon to launch them to unspeakable
doom or even towards a field of other Timmy's (a fate I wouldn't even wish on
a Timmy fig myself).

The problem is that real and fictional situations don't really compare to the
Lego situation. Because the Lego world is so much better than any real or
fictional world, it stands to reason that the forces of evil would necessarily
have to be that much worse.

Well you know, the only humane thing to do is to mail all the Timmies to me,
so that I can put them in my special Timmy habitat. You might also want to
mail me any Jar-Jars that are causing trouble, or in fact any type of Lego
product with which you are experiencing difficulty. This is a service I'm
happy to provide, free of charge, in order to do my part to help the community!

They have a use if you like "T" shirts! They can fit into space, where there
are "M" shirts and "B" shirts. Now, if LEGO would just give us a few vowels
to work with...
I would be happy to take some Timmy's off your hands! Or whatever you cannot
use, we could certainly clear some space for you!
Aaron :o)
