Opinions Vs. Beliefs
Bonesiii-Style entry ahead:
Opinions can be wrong, Zeddy.Well, setting the new colors aside, I think the 2009 sets stink. They follow the same humanoid design, no new torso/leg pieces; just the same ones from 4 years ago being used, and barely any new pieces save for the weapons and mask.
And nobody try to argue please, this is my opinion and it's not going to change.
Anyway, all I'm going to say is that they may be humanoid, but they do have custom designs. Also, it's a bit early to judge how many new pieces they have.
Uh... an opinion is basically the way you feel about something. Opinions are different for each person and can't be wrong, they are simply what the person likes and doesn't like. And the sets have already begun popping up in several places, so we'll be seeing these new pieces quite soon.

An opinion is the way you view something. And yes, those can be wrong. If my opinion is that the sky is green, that would be wrong, wouldn't it?
Besides, pointing out flaws, then not letting someone argue against that just because it's an "opinion"... I'm just sick of that.
That's a belief, not an opinion.
A belief is that the sky is green. An opinion is that the sky is pretty.
You can follow Bonesiii's guidelines on this, but I respectfully disagree with his interpretation of the word "opinion."
His reasoning is based on people stating their opinions to be: "LEGO should do [this]."
And yes, it is their opinion, but keep in mind that they're not stating what LEGO should do [this] for. If I said "The world should be free of intolerance," would that be a provable/disprovable statement? It wouldn't. It would be an opinion. It's impossible to assign a truth-value to "The world should be free of intolerance."
If, on the other hand, the person said "LEGO should do this to sell better," that would include a cause as well as an effect, and that could be researched and determined definitively. That would be a belief or hypothesis, which could be tested and determined as either true or false. It's not an opinion.
