I bought a couple Time Twisters sets at KMart this Friday (I know, I know,
but they were REALLY cheap, and thus a good parts supply).
I don't recall which set it was...has the guy who looks like he's from
Greenwich Village, and the machine has those large, sort of diaphanous, sort
of bat-type wings.
Those pieces were a bit odd looking, as were the boxes themselves. The boxes
look as though they have humidity damage, and I think the wings have heat
damage of some sort. I used to work in KMArt, and it DOES get HOT in their
storerooms.
So you might want to be extra cautious with your plastic but non-ABS parts,
such as these wings, boat sails, etc.
