Actually, you don't. I LOVE Tyco bricks, but not because the minifigures
are cool -- because they are not*.
Although they seem to forget this simple fact and produce some really weird
stuff from time to time (I am not digging these HP minis too much), TLC
reigns supreme and uncontested where the minifigure is concerned. Simply
put: TLC makes the best minifigures. Do not bother looking elsewhere.
Trust me on this point.
If you like the bricks you see, then by all means get into Tyco. But the
bricks is where it ends.
The ironic thing about the fact that Tyco is out of the brick business is
that I think I and others like Tyco precisely for all the bricks that they
made that TLC never did...the only brick designs where I actually prefer
Tyco's designs to those of TLC are on the low slope bricks. Replace those
low slopes on your Guarded Inn with Tyco low slopes and you shall see what I
mean...

I might as well plug my clone parts wanted site and see if there are any
