While I can say very general things like that no one has ever suggested a theme idea that I haven't seen explored already, I can't comment on any of them in specific until they actually hit the retail shelves. So this one will have to remain shrouded in mystery.

I'm perplexed by the Lego Junior - Easy to Build sets. They seem rather unnecessary. I didn't know sets were that hard to build currently!

EDIT: Correction - the new Hero Factory sets ARE just Pacific Rim sets with a different name (Invasion from Below).

Just found out that a local retailer, Mrs. Tiggy Winkle's, has all of the new Ninjago sets in stock, and they're having a sale on selected themes. Until the 29th, Star Wars, Chima, Ninjago & Hero Factory sets are 20% off.

Aw, man... yet another set to add to the list of stuff I want. :P That copper helmet (it LOOKS like copper) would be excellent for one of the Heroes I am prepping...

It a appears to be the standard brown. It looks shinier than it should be because the musket is matte brown.
