I can't really form an opinion based on one small set image and a basic intro pack thing, but it just looks like a boring redo of Ninjago. Oh well, not really surprising.
Congratulations to the winners! Money's tight, so I don't think I'll really be able to justify buying the book, but it looks amazing. Maybe come Christmastime, some understanding soul will supply me with it.
According to Brickset, we'll be getting two new themes next year- "Speedorz", and "Legends of Chima". I can't say Speedorz does much for me, but Chima sounds interesting.
I've always wanted to play one of these, but I don't think I really have the required time and motivation to keep this up for a month ATM.
Still, I'd love to play sometime in the future.
