Subject: Timmy

This may seem like a silly question butitshows how recently I've joined
lugnet.
I've noticed numerous references to the Timmy minifig. What sets did he come
in, where may I find a picture of him, and what does he represent that he his
held in such contempt?


Ah..."Timmy."  (Actually, "Tim.")

This fig first appeared in the Time Cruisers sets.  You see it some in the
Freestyle stuff, too.

He is held in contempt, I think, because he is sort of like Wesley Crusher
on Star Trek: the Next Genearation.

What the hell was Picard doing letting that little brat fly a starship?
What was Dr. Cyber doing letting a kid like Timmy have access to a time
machine?

(I know, I know, it's a kids' toy.  But we are talking about the afol
reaction to the figure, not the kids' one)
