Allow me to rephrase this, now that I actually have some Timmies in my hand.

Timmy is evil.

The above was said at a time in which  did not *have* a Timmy... (such happy
times, I once had! ;-)

Now that I've got some TC sets, I agree with Frank that it's possible to like
sets but not a theme as a collective. I like the TC parts for pieces, but the
whole concept of them is poorly executed (and too bad - it coulda been great).

If I find any more TC sets on sale, I'll buy them by the handful... but at
full FAO schwartz price, no way. ;-)

And no more Timmies!!!
