I like come-apart comment rather than breaking.
I also like the word: disassociate
:-D
I am surprised the flyers lasted almost 'till the end, but am very pleased
they helped.
I'm sorry I ONLY MADE 600 copies of the bloody things!
Wonder how much new revenue TLG will make from them?
The comment on whimsy is a good one.
While there will always be a place for locos and cars that are built to look
like prototype equipment, with LEGO, there is no reason that they HAVE TO. I
know Time Twisters are only good for parts, but we could build an
operational Time Train or similar humorous train, Like the Timmy To Prison
train or ???
