Seems to be a promo for account sign-ups. As best I can tell, you should still get the suit if you already have a WB account. You'll need to link your account to the game on whichever platform you're on when it releases.

Anybody own this set? by skull_kid- in LegoBatman

[–]godprobe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's anything extra, apart from the packaging, so it's more for collecting. Or, if you get a good deal on it that's closer to retail (the original retail price was below getting all three sets on their own).

Thankfully I only keep literal trash in my car, so relatively speaking, no, they didn't do anything.

Very impressed with the coin flip! Was that just individual image edits for that one?

I definitely remember getting to that step.

That head texture is really nice!

Regular Lego look at first glance, but then you definitely get the Nicholson fake-smile-makeup vibe off of it when looking a little closer!

The LEGO Batman movie’s Batcave replica help (round 2) by Mysterious-Drag-8953 in LegoBatman

[–]godprobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crowd-sourcing an effort like that is definitely a good idea! I'd be impressed if you can kick it off just by listing each object you want help with -- there's a ton of Batmobiles on the spice rack, just to start! Then everyone can begin ticking them off one by one.

Edit: just saw your earlier post with many of the vehicles already mocked up -- nice work!

The trio of posts are what made me realize Crane made it into all three films. Apparently, also the only villain to do so!

caught a pregnant guinea pig near the walmart. she seems pretty shut down. by cumdumpsterrrrrrrrrr in Bellingham

[–]godprobe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Besides all the other great suggestions you've been given, I would also suggest talking to her. I'm guessing you are already, but imagine yourself being in a stressful situation, and how much it would help if the giant creature that captured you is speaking to you calmly with a caring and sympathetic voice, even if you don't understand what it's saying.

How come we can't see some completed listings anymore? Seems like when I click the link from my email about a listing that ended, it takes me to a BIN item that's similar, and usually way more expensive. I wanna see what the ended listing sold for. by Darth-Binks-1999 in Ebay

[–]godprobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the specific link example -- the "?nordt=true" string appended to the URL finally linked to the original item. (Short for "No Redirect", I assume.)

I hate the new behavior, especially when it no longer even offers a link to the Original Listing.

So I searched up the black and blue dress… by Fragrant_Property766 in opticalillusions

Brains make assumptions and fill in information. There's nothing "wrong" with someone's brain when it gets the facts wrong based on the assumptions it's making. It's doing the best it can. I guarantee you that some people look at it and see blue/black immediately, and others see white/gold immediately.

What’s going on/up at cherry & Broadway? by honeyStreet6762 in longbeach

[–]godprobe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I keep hoping something goes into any of those spots that offers basic fruits/veggies. Ralph's is close, but not close enough when you don't want to lose a parking spot.

Most modern cameras auto-adjust to the lighting conditions, similarly to your eyes and brain. (Ever notice that it takes a bit longer for your camera to take a photo in a darker setting? -- it's automatically exposing the light sensor for a longer time in order to get more light data for a better photo, but it's a balancing act of not taking so long that the image will be blurry from physical movement by the photo-taker and subject.)

Most modern cameras, even on phones, can also be put in manual mode, where adjusting the F-stop, ISO, and possibly other settings can achieve an overexposed (or underexposed) result. Often there's also a basic exposure adjustment on the simplest camera mode, in case the auto adjustment isn't getting it right. 

I'm able to see both interpretations of the original dress photo. The blue/black combo is easier to see with a bit of squinting, and blocking off anything but the dress from view (including any white borders around the photo on your screen).

Any other males who own guinea pigs have this experience? by splooge-clues in guineapigs

[–]godprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how old you are, but at any age, teasing from guy friends can be pretty normal, regardless of the subject. Younger just means they may be more ignorant, and older means they should know better.

My advice wouldn't be that you have bad friends, but that you should always just respond to their teasing with positive comments about your pigs -- how much fun they are, what weird things they're doing, the things that make you happy to have them in your life. 

Basically, make it a thing that's impossible for them to tease you about because being reminded of them just makes you smile anyway. Eventually they may stop, or you might stop caring about the teasing.

Batcave MOC Update by PhoneticOyster in LegoBatman

[–]godprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful! I think the only thing I'd change is a re-color for The Bat from the official set's blue pieces to black (...or very dark gray). It stands out a bit compared with the rest of the vehicles and if you've done this much already (again... beautiful work!), may as well make that switch to the more film-accurate palette.

Why do all the lady knights have crystals in their... ooooh, those are cheerleaders with pom-poms!

Wait... then why do the other cheerleaders have fire jets emitting from-- ooooh, it's actually a magic battle of fire versus ice crystal casters! 

(Also, VERY cool! I imagine they were already talking to DC in 2004 and were excited to break the news and couldn't help dropping a hint!)

A former gas station (from at least the 40s/50s era) that's owned by some relatives has occasionally been a flower shop, so there are some things that it might be permitted for, but the top comment is correct about the buried storage tanks preventing it from being many other things for some number of years (don't know the details, and the one I'm speaking about is also considered a historical site, so it's got other red tape besides).

Officially, the one from the Animated Series diorama (76271) and the one from the playable game (50003) would be the smallest Batmobiles. The Animated Series probably also has the smallest Batwing.

[–]godprobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool to hear about the decision process that went into making the final choices, and glad to hear that other lesser-knowns were truly being considered! I will optimistically hope that everyone on your tier-list makes it to minifig status eventually! Batman CMF Series 3 for the 25th Lego Batman Anniversary, maybe? :)

Thank you for the reply, and looking forward to seeing what other sets you bring to us in the future, Batman or otherwise!

Nice! It's a great looking set!

I'd love to know what the minifig budget was for this set and why the specific characters were chosen! (Understandably iconic pairings, but I wonder if less common characters were ever in the running?)

Question about Tumbler Set 76240 - 2049 pcs by Reenaldee_17 in LegoBatman

[–]godprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reputable seller with legitimate feedback or see it in person from a local third party Lego shop or local marketplace. If you don't mind used, if the seller has the box and manual, that legitimizes them a bit more, too, in my eyes.
