I think the general consensus is that:
a) the official models suck
b) Dr. Cyber and Timmy are annoying
c) Either the designers were under the effects of certain proscribed narcotic
or hallucinogenic substances, or TLC decided to 'just make some sets and
use up all these extra parts'
d) that's about all they're good for, is parts
e) at full price, they're not even that good a deal for parts
If I ever see the MMTL for under $50, I'd be tempted to pick up one or two.
I love those arched windows, and there's a couple of other nifty bits in
there that could keep me interested. And I like the assortment in the
Time Train - got a couple of those last time they went on S@H special...
