See, I really don't see what the fuss is all about... I love Ninjago, I remember fanboying the moment I saw the first Jay and Zane minifigures. However, I also love Chima, like, to death! I've even collected most of the sets. Sure, the episodes are 'cheesier' than Ninjago's, but Ninjago has also had it's share of bad dialogue and so on so forth.

The only reason you are all hating upon Chima is due to the fact that it appeared like it was going to replace Ninjago for good. Well guess what folks, it didn't, so you all need to drop the bias. I think all of you need to look past the episodes, to the actually decent backstory. Look past the "Rip-off" similarities to this 'Thundercats' thing, and look at how bloody amazing the figures look. I mean, Chima made LEGO figure printing a notch better than it had been.

I'll be honest though, I feel 2015 will be both themes last years. I mean, Ninjago, despite it's break year, has been going like 4, nearly 5 years now, and Chima for 2-3 years. I'm fairly certain that they have been LEGO's longest non-licenced themes running, like ever. Look what happened to things like Power Miners, or Atlantis. It's been a good run with the Ninja, but I think that sadly it's time for the tornados to spin themselves out... (insert hundreds of hate comments here:)
