All of them.

Ninja School will help you
All I can see is the miscolored Mario sprite (aside from the yellow flesh, the original Super Mario Bros. sprite had a brown shirt and red overalls...also, there should be no skin showing above his eyes--just hat).
Nerd nitpicking aside, my local LEGO store had the Series 9 minifigs today. I grabbed a handful and ended up with:
Marilyn Monroe
Knight
Cop
Plumber
Ogre
Armored Space Guy
Alien Space Marine
I'm kinda blah on the knight (I don't collect any medieval sets, and I still have a ton of knights), but the rest are all pretty great. The business end of the plumber's plunger is actually rubber. I was hoping that it would be a standard LEGO piece so I could plug it onto minifigs' heads, but sadly it doesn't really work. In lieu of that, I was hoping that I could get it to work as a suction cup, but it won't stick to anything. Still, a neat little accessory.
Still gotta find me a chicken suit guy, though.

I live within 75 miles of a store and registered. Nothing.
That's their way of telling you to spend more.

Most of my purchases are through Amazon/eBay etc with a >20% discount though. Only problem is those hard to find ones like the Sopwith/Camper Van etc.

That Aquaman is awesome.
The most expensive, hence, Arkham Asylum!

I finally got around to using my second set and I am now considering a 3rd. Having a lot of fun working on additions, but it's not enough.
His hair is very swooshy.
Anyone who's looking to make custom One Direction minifigs will definitely want to get it, haha.
He comes with a trident too.

Same here. I think you have to be within 60 miles to get the coupon. Dammit. I am driving to the closest one sometime this month to exchange a set I got for Christmas, and was hoping for a coupon. But alas, no.
And finished the second box of the SSD tonight. This thing is turning into a magnificent beast. And I can see what some complained about with attaching the stands. It was not that horrible, but the axle does not drive up all the way into the ship on the back stand. But it is staying in place so that is all that matters.
Tomorrow night, this sucker gets finished!

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
lol silly LEGO, Year of the Snake doesn't start until February, and due to elements, it should be blue for water!
Look what I got for 8€ each one at LIDL. I almost didn't make it, went there 5 minutes after opening hour and there were already some people with baskets full of Lego boxes. I'm pretty sure I got the last chopper because it had to dig almost all the way down in the bin. The other 4 sets available were Duplo, City (police), Technic (car) and Dino so I wasn't interested.
THANKS for the info!
EDIT: but wait, if this head is from Temple of Doom, wouldn't it be in a flesh-tone? In the picture the head looks yellow ... hm ... hmmm
EDIT2: but yeah ok it is the one
I forgot to say you're welcome!
Some guy on Flickr has tons of pics of the Cinema Modular set:

Yes. He just uploaded these images to his flickr account. Save them for later cause they might disappear.
For standard themes I have three ring binders with sleeves in, and the manuals go in the sleeves. For special sets (UCS, modular, SW) I have a box with hanging files inside and they go there (I found sleeves aren't so good for the thicker manuals)
For boxes they current just sit in the loft, but I've run out of space so if I want to buy any more in 2013 I'll have to go through and flatten as many as possible. Might also sell on a few less loved sets (thinking Millenium falcon, sopwith camel, Venator and maybe power miners if I can persuade my son)
Hopefully, it'll be $150 then. The movie poster titles are funny especially the one "Mystery of the Monorail". It's an inside joke because people keep requesting Lego to bring that set back.
Cinema looks great but I'm always a bit torn with corner builds - you get great exteriors because of the extra frontage, but lose a lot of interior space because of the extra sidewalk. The top floor is a good example, by the time you've left space for the stairs, your room is really narrow.
I`m holding out hope that those are printed pieces. We've had printed window panels before in Ninjago.
Look at the cinema screen, you can clearly see the sticker borders D:

I really hope the movie poster are double sided cardboard inserts that you can easily switch out.

Well crap for stickers
There goes my hope of ever being able to slide custom movie posters of my choice in there... Well technically it would still be possible but what a hassle

Why? it won't be any more of a hassle. If you don't put on sticker the piece will be exactly the same as a preprinted piece. (thickness will be the same)
32x32 base minus 8 on each side for the sidewalk minus 6-8 for the staircase and some for the walls, and the angled corner, doesn't leave much interior space upstairs
They could have at least raised the rear rows, the floor looks tall enough. Screen is disappointing too. Why is the projected image cropped like that?

damn I too hope there are no stickers in that set
modulars did very good without them so far!

Why kind of movie theater on the corner of a street only seats 6 people?!
I saw a MOC in a Lego store behind the plastic display case that had a single floor room that had about 20-40 seats in it. The floors were red and the seats were black! It looked really good!
So for some reason I thought that there would be one floor in The Palace Cinema that was going to seat 12 at least....
A tad disappointed due to unrealistic expectations created
due to that Lego Club MOC. :/
But, maybe I could create my own Palace from their set plus bricklinking some seats!
Maybe make it a non-corner building.... Hmm

yeah but see i was hoping for some kind of sliding mechanism that would allow for say cardboard pieces or something to be fitted in and out of the surrounding display box.
The way it probably is now means that if you want something custom, you need to make your own sticker and put that on there(i wouldn't even know how to do that actually nor would i want to )
I know.... :/

Maybe it's supposed to be an exclusive VIP kinda cinema ...thing... or something
Yeah! Laminate them so they shine as though they were behind glass and then cut them so that they don't bend over time.
