The new sets continue to roll in! Now available are the 2013 Hero Factory sets. You can pick up the Brain Attack wave online and in most stores at this point, so if you've been waiting for these sets go get 'em! Additionally, the 2013 Ninjago sets have appeared as well. It's a veritable smorgasbord of new hotness!http://www.bzpower.com/story.php?ID=5895]View the full article[/url]

These new Hero Factory sets look quite interesting, and I'm liking the looks of all this metallic gold and transparent plastic.

 

I wonder if there's a Glatorian "Iron Man" head hiding under those masks, or if we've gotten yet another new head piece.

Well, kind of. It is the same shape, but has an additional axle hole on the front.

I plan to get some if not all of the Ninjago 2013 sets. As for Hero Factory, I'll make a decision when I see some reviews or preferably see the sets built in real life. I'm not sure if I like them or not.

Not totally the same shape. The chin of the new head doesn't stick forward as far.

Same reasons LEGO prices have always gone up over time? Plus many of the smaller sets this wave have more pieces than the ones in 2012, and one of the pieces for most of them is a large shield element that surely costs a fair amount.
