I think they can also make it clear that the goblins at the start are bandits who happen to be goblins, rather than all goblins being inherently untrustworthy SOBs.
D&D 5E Which D&D books currently scheduled for 2023 are you interested in?
So at this point I'm back to "probably going to buy them all eventually, because I know who I am" 
But the ones I voted for are "Keys from the Golden Vault' (love anthologies and love heists, so this one feels made for me), "Glory of the Giants" (because I love monster books), and "Planescape".
And with Planescape my interest is far more "what are they going to put into that box" curiosity than anything else. Is it an Outlands campaign? Sigil? An attempt to cover the entire Outer Planes in a 64 page book? I'm just really dang curious about what kind of product they think they can make with the name "Planescape" on it and who the target audience for it will be.
It's one of the settings I'd stay furthest from if I wasn't going to commit to doing multiple books. If I were in charge I'd do a "Tour of the Outer Planes" adventure book rather than a campaign setting because it would be easier to structure and not disappoint. So it's the one I'm most curious about.

Except there was no actual heist in Dragon Heist, as written. For me personally, I'd still love an official book with actual heists in it.

If/when it doesn't, there are a lot of great heist books from other publishers that are worth picking up.
If they drop the worthless DM screen they can up the page count.
I have several that are really good, as you say, but would still like to see official 5e WotC do it right.

The funny thing about that one was that it had no heist in it! I'm hoping this one will - but I'm not counting on it.

It's an anthology of side quests, one of them has to be an actual heist.

The 5e rules are not great for heists. They have hinted that the book contains some more heist-friendly rules. If those rules are actually good, then I might be interested. But until reviews are out, I have no idea if that is the case.
Normally, I quite like collections of short adventures that I can drop into an ongoing campaign, but I had already decided to take a break from DMing D&D (long before the OGL fiasco) so I don't really have a use for such a book at the moment.

I don't know about that. Add a mechanic for doing Oceans 11-style flashbacks, have someone other than paladins in your heist team, and you're pretty good to go. I have a lot of rogues in the groups I DM for, and it's worked well for us.
What challenges are you encountering?
