NYMY 2017 Autumn Steam Gala
Riddle me this: Why didn’t I post any pics of shadows last week?! This must be remefied . . . This must be rectimied . . . This must be remic . . . This must be rectm . . .
This must be fixed.
So this week’s Humble Offering of Humbility is brought to you by, you guessed it, The Pointer Sisters. Or shadows. Let’s stay with shadows. Have a creative week burning through the neutron dance, everyone!
SDCC time again, and what a disappointment... again.
I think by now it has become more than obvious that Lego doesn't really give a damn about the European collectors, fans and customers - or anyone living outside San Diego or NY, for that matter. "Build hype and excitement around the brand", "Creating brand awareness", they say. For whom, if I may ask? For those attending a convention? Why the public announcements then? Why the "limited" issues flashed before our eyes? Why not just giving away limited batches of ACTUAL products that will be released in the following year? What the heck, even BrickArms does it like that and still gets a great deal of "hype" and "brand awareness", I might add. What is this, some sort of "look what a cool minifig we can design, but hey, you'll never get it, because it's limited and hey, we also have to leave a bit more to be squeezed out of the character in the following year... Maybe a printed leg here, a different torso there..." ?
I just learned that a Batman/Riddler/Flash set has been announced at SDCC and will be out in 2014. Apparently, it will contain a hotrod for the Riddler. So here's some "hype" marketing on my side. By the time the set is out, I'll get you a proper minifig-scale hotrod for the Riddler and I'll give away building instructions for free - yes, for FREE! - just so you won't have to buy that set! The little hotrod in the image is just a preview, but I promisse the minifig-scale version will be more than just a joke meant to sell 3 minifigs.
Obviously, this is just bitter irony, as most obviously you WILL pay the money for the set just to get the minifigs that everyone wants... Because you know that is all that "Batman: The Riddler Chase" is about, right? I might be wrong about all of this, but the fact still remains: It's just frustrating to see a brand that we all love - and promote, I might add - going... "limited".
Enough debate, I'm back :)
A long anticipated photo for me, as I have spent the better part of the last year trying to obtain one of these Riddler canes. Through Shapeways and hilhilligus, I was finally able to 100% complete the first villain team from LEGO Batman.
Now time to wait for three more minifigs, and there will be two more of this kind of pic.
“You took weeks to assemble this sad mess group of worthless minds?” Riddler scoffed.
Empress Penguin stood before the self-proclaimed smartest man in Gotham with the Globe, Wesker, and Poison Ivy by her side.
“I wouldn’t call them worthless Nygma. They have the common sense to hate you.”
“Yes, that’s much to bad for them. You’re all fools for even trying to challenge me. You expect a war? Blood to be shed? No, that’s not what you’ll get. What you’ll get is a conflict that’s ended before it even begins.”
As Riddler said that, the lights in the building all shut off, and the gleaming red eyes of Talons could be seen all around.
“I am the smartest man in Gotham, so naturally I would find the smartest army in Gotham. Enjoy being eviscerated.”
There was the sound of a button being pressed, and Empress Penguin’s team was struck with a mind-numbing headache.
She should’ve known that Nygma would find a way to contact the Court of Owls. She had an itching feeling in the back of her mind as soon as that Talon stoke Vertigo’s eye piece.
The familiar pain returned to her twice as strong, and Globe struggled to contact his operatives. They burst into the room and began to duke it out with the Talons as best they could, while Empress Penguin and Poison Ivy slowly pursued Nygma.
He wouldn’t get away that easily.

The Talon brought Riddler into a dark room beneath the factory. He assumed that the room led out into the sewers, and then led into the labyrinth he designed for Batman. The Owls took that plan from him, sadly.
“You will stay here until a member of the Court comes, Mr. Nygma.”
Nygma nodded as the Talon left, and waited for a few minutes until the door opened again. A man in a suit with an owl mask stepped in. Some rich debutant who believed himself to be superior to the rest of Gotham. Riddler didn’t blame him. You’d have to be superior to keep something like the Court secret from an entire city for decades.
“Greetings, Mr. Nygma.”
“Hi there.”
The Court member placed his hands behind his back, “You have quite a reputation, Mr. Nygma. You’ve killed many of your enemies...and your allies...”
The Riddler leaned on his cane, “Correct.”
“Well, I’ve thought about your deal, and I have decided that it will have a marvelous endgame. However, we need to test you first...consider this a trial run.”
“I’m listening...”
“If we help you take over the underground, you must not hurt or kill any of your allies no matter what. We don’t want traitors wearing the mask, Mr. Nygma.”
The Riddler thought for a moment, going over the allies that he did have currently, and agreed with himself that he wouldn’t hurt any of them.
“Very well. Give me an army and you have your deal.”
heres just what i would thought the new lego riddler (with my added details from before) would look like if he had TLBM riddler hat
6th March 2018. With only nine months before Oliver Cromwells boiler certificate expired joining the 30742 Photo Charter for the day seemed a good idea before they take No.70013 apart piece by piece for its ten year over-haul. Here BR 7MT Britannia 4-6-2 No.70013 Oliver Cromwell does a run past Damems Junction [with her mixed goods train] on her way to Oakworth. The railway is part of Keighley And Worth Valley Railway.
When a steam locomotive ten year ticket runs out you will not usually see it again in steam for at least five years. There is the time of taking it apart [piece by piece] and replacing anything which is defective. There is the expense of replacing all the old parts and raising the money to buy and install the new parts. The locomotive has to be insured so when the engine is almost ready to steam again you have to pay for a boiler inspector to come out and check that everything is in fine fettle - so it is usually five years or longer before you may see the engine again.

I've uploaded way more than five figure shots, and I had some pretty neat builds earlier today! Please go look at those! I only uploaded these for some Eurobricks forums. If I make these private, will the BBCodes still work on EB?
For this Friday I suggest this riddle ...
Have fun guessing !
La Devinette du Jour ...
amusez vous devinant !
Last night I made the trip into downtown LA to watch this band. The club/bar they were playing at was incredibly dark. It was a night of exploring ISO 3200.
A box without hinges, key, or lid, Yet golden treasure inside is hid (JRR Tolkein - The Hobbit)
Strobist info: SB700 on 1/2 power, bounced off ceiling and triggered wirelessly.
“It’s simple. We merely need to find the Signal Man’s...signal, as it were.” the Riddler stated to his team.
They all looked at the man confused. Black Mask was the first to speak.
“Tell me, Nygma, how the hell are we gonna track his signal with no power.”
Mad Hatter spoke next, after taking a sip of his tea, “Yes, this plan seems positively mad!” He began to giggle.
“Youse came up with a dumb plan. Do ya even have a computah in this dingy place? Not that it’d mattah.”
“Mr. Scarface, please! I’m sure Mr. Nygma has a plan to enact this plan!” the Ventriloquist pleaded with his puppet.
Empress Penguin smirked, “Seems convoluted, but yes I am sure Mr. Nygma has another plan.”
“Thank you, Esmeralda. Yes, I do have another plan. We simply need a generator.”
“Where the hell are we gonna get a generator, Nygma...”
“The hospital, of course.”
So i found this on ebay a few weeks ago, and I've had it since then, I've just been waiting to post it cause I was unsure about the legality of it haha but I've seen others post them so I figured what the heck.
Anyways, this fig is awesome. The printing and design is flawless, and it makes me pretty excited for the rest of The Lego Batman Movie sets to come out.
Also featuring those other three figs I've probably posted before.
Riddles '4MT' 2-6-4T no.80080 heads past Burrs Country Park, Bury, in lovely sunlight, with the 16:00 Bury-Rawtenstall train.
“You did it, Ed. You won.”
Riddler tugged the broken piece of his cane out of Empress’ body, smiling at Pamela, “I did, didn’t I...”
Ivy tried to hide her anger, her absolute lividity, as she stared at Riddler.
He narrowed his eyes at her and laughed a small bit, “But it seems you lost.”
“What?” Pam raised an eyebrow at Riddler, trying to keep up the act.
“Oh, come the fuck on, Pamela. I’m the smartest man you’ll ever meet. You weren’t playing on Empress’ side, you weren’t playing on mine. You were trying to ‘save’ Gotham. What a bullshit goal.”
Ivy gritted her teeth and extended a vine whip, “How DARE YOU!”
“How dare I? How dare you betray me like this...after all I’ve done for you!”
“All you’ve done?! What you’ve done is made me kill for your precious goal of ruling Gotham or being some god of intelligence! You killed those men, Edward. All those years ago. Not me. But your sick mind made me think I did!”
Riddler grinned, “Well then I’ll be sure to pin Esmeralda’s death on you.”
Ivy growled in anger and lunged at Riddler, who quickly stabbed her in the leg with the cane, “That was a stupid plan...”
He picked Ivy up by the lapel of her jacket and pulled out power-dampening cuffs, slapping them onto her wrists as she faded from consciousness. Riddler laughed again.
“You’ll be in a rather different place when you wake up...”
As seen in The Lego Batman Movie.
As pics of the figs come out, i'll probably be doing more and more villains based on the designs in the movie, just to see how well they work as normal designs. Thus: Here's Eddie Nigma, the first of a few I already have done.
Let me know what you think!
Update: The right answer was given by Philip, klik hier.
It's a WINDMILL
---------------------------------------------------
Thank you all so much for guessing ...
The right answer hasn't been given so far ...
Lokofil ... you came closest :-)
So, here's a hint --> The background is not water, but SKY ... :-)
But ... I must admit: it really looks like ripples in the water.
“I fail to see the reason we’re visiting this...fool...” Nygma kicked up some dust on the floor of the building he and Black Mask had entered.
“Carter is a smart man, and if there is a ‘war’ coming, you’ll need this guy. He’s a jackass though.” Roman answered.
The two men walked up a few stairs and onto a platform with a large compass inlet into the panels. A bellowing British voice echoed through the dark building.
“Ah! Mr. Nygma and Roman! I knew you two would stray into my hemisphere someday!”
A man stepped out of the shadows and onto the compass platform. He wore respectable clothes, topped off with a giant globe on his head.
This was Hammond Carter, the Globe.
Nygma sneered, “Hello Mr. Carter.”
“My name is the Globe, Edward! Hammond Carter doesn’t run the most successful global heist syndicate in the world, the Globe does! I’m more successful than Roman was in his glory days, hah!”
Black Mask flicked at the trigger on his gun, “You’re still just a dumbass, Carter. You have a fucking globe on your head.”
The Globe turned to Black Mask and laughed, “This is no globe, it is a computerized tracking device! I can see every one of my agents all across the world at all times!” He spun the globe around on his head with his right hand.
Riddler was growing tired of this, “Mr. Carter, the Globe, whatever the hell you want to be called...I need your help.”
The Globe tilted his head at Riddler, “You do hmm? You didn’t seem to when you were making that think tank of yours...”
Riddler really didn’t want to come, but Roman insisted. Here was the reason why. Globe kept grudges.
“You see, the thing about this tracker, is it’s all in real time...in fact, 6 of my agents are closing in on you two as we speak...how’s that for smart, Nygma?”
Riddler rolled his eyes beneath his mask and took his cane into both hands, “Take care of the agents, Roman. I have the Globe...”

And Samson said to them, “Let me now put a riddle to you. If you can tell me what it is, within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothes,

"Riddle me this, What's green and found in your wallet?"
I really like the version they had in The LEGO Batman Movie but I think that old torso is just perfect.
Black Mask: A kingpin and drug lord within Gotham City. The Riddler chose him because of his connections and persuasive abilities
Mad Hatter: A gang leader and master hypnotist, wanted for many murders that he insists were “suicides.” The Riddler chose him due to his hypnotic abilities, and because Jervis owes him
The Riddler: The “hero” of our story
Empress Penguin: After her death at Owlman’s hands, and her father paying Al Ghul for the Lazarus, Esmeralda was also brought back secretly by the Al Ghul’s for their “purposes.” The Riddler chose her for reasons unknown
The Ventriloquist: A man and his puppet. Ventriloquist and Scarface lead a small crime syndicate in the Bowery district. The Riddler chose him for his ability to resist emotional control, so that if he’s ever captured and tortured he’ll reveal nothing
