The rain is picking back up as the Riddle Switcher starts working the Roseburg Forest Products Mill number 4 in Riddle, Oregon.
A place I drove to and meditated (well, sort of) while waiting for Erin to finish her morning class. I had never made note of Lake Lemon on a map; it's just north of Bloomington which already has the awesome and huge Lake Monroe to the southwest. Lake Lemon was peaceful. Made me yearn (again) for my own canoe. I really need my own canoe. 8:36PM
22/9/23 At Moorgates 75069 and 92214 leave the sheep singularly unimpressed despite the noise from the two BR. Standard locos as they headed south to Pickering.

If I win the build off between me, GovernorSam and Relatively Sane this will be my character for GCW4.
Can't wait, and no this is not a application for him.
Also this is what my costume is hopefully going to look like for halloween.
As soon as I had the businessman minifigure I noticed that the tie was purple. Pretty unusual, so this idea popped into my head. Let me know what you guys think!
Ah the docks…one of my favorite places in Gotham. They’re so simple; only water and crates, ships and cargo. These docks are mine now. They say that Great White Shark owned this area once, in one of his many failed attempts to establish himself in this city. Word has it there was also a war here recently—Shark vs. Hush vs. Riddler—I suppose it was he who won out…and it’s Riddler I’m taking this area from. He’s here somewhere, at least by the word of his former henchmen he is…though he’s not being as flamboyant as usual…there’s no clue left behind as to where he is, but he’s here…I know it…but in the meantime I guess I’ll have to make my own riddle…hey Hart! When does a Riddler goon not float?! Hahahaha! Throw em in!
The Penguin moves from Robinson Plaza (#68) to attack the Western Docks (#69), placing the Riddler in peril.
Riddles '4MT' 2-6-0 no.76001 (aka 76079), a 67C Ayr loco, eases into Goathland Station with a Grosmont-Goathland local. The train also included the ‘Express Dairies’ milk tanker. 76001 was withdrawn in August 1966 after 13 years service.
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 :)
The Riddle Brothers settled here along the Little Blitzen River in 1900 or so and lived here for 50 years. The BLM maintains the ranch now as an open-air-museum.
Hauling a short train of presflo wagons Doncaster 9F 92198 is at an unidentified location. New in October 1958 the loco was withdrawn from Frodingham in August 1964 after a working life of less than six years. Four years later the last few members of the class of 251 locos were withdrawn from Carnforth Shed at the end of steam.

Doing the job they were intended for, Riddles '4MT' 2-6-4T no.80080 storms away from Irwell Vale with the 15:55 Bury-Rawtenstall train.

The Riddler is finished! He has no hat...but I can't do anything about it so he just has no hat. I need to work on getting him a better shirt....but he'll get there.
Here are some custom henchmen for my custom Riddler that will be coming soon. I had these extra pieces lying around, and I wanted to give my Riddler some reinforcements. Three more will be coming, I just have to get the parts for them, and then a group picture, with the Riddler and the henchmen will come too. Then, I'm going to work on Harley and Joker's henchmen. Comments are very appreciated.
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a huge Riddler fan. (My favorite villain.)
This mini-shelf represents a small number of my Riddler collection, with a custom Riddler trophy I received today, special ordered from Etsy. It features an AC power cord, so it can be on all the time!
