I just picked up 2 of the Cantina sets so those will go in the Tatooine set when I custom it and I was planning on rebuilding the Hoth base with my own design but now with the rumored UCS set I have postponed that.

Those damn Scooby sets threw a major wrench in my plans for this year. I want all of them, they just look so fantastic and my head is going crazy with ideas for Halloween already. When I start listing out what I want it just starts to sink in how unrealistic it is to get everything.
Helicarrier - $350
Tumbler - $200
Avengers Sets - At least $100 if I limit to 3 sets, if I get more or two Towers then double
Mixels, 3 sets this year - $135
Spider-man - $90
DC - Still have to get Grodd set, Jokerland, Deathstroke set $200
Still have to get Battle of Five Armies set at some point
Then we got unannounced sets like Christmas or Ferris Wheel, I still have to get the Mixer and i wanted to start on Modulars. I cancelled my AT-AT order because I can't keep up with this list alone, adding Star Wars is just impossible. I really feel sorry you guys who collect Star Wars and Ultra Agents and others.
Kudos to the Brick Show for their coverage of NYTF. They've been producing videos like crazy over the last 36 hours, and they've still got select set feature videos coming up. They also shot many of the box art photos for the NYTF sets that are floating around out there (primarily at Brickset).
I haven't been a fan of theirs for a couple years now, but I've heard they have improved their reviews, so I'm going to give them another try.

Super jealous of the setup, Ryuuorden. Super jealous.
This is why I keep debating just sticking with the Star Wars sets.
For that theme alone, I am looking at over $2,700 CDN for 2015.
JANG reviews 76031 Hulkbuster Smash:
http://youtu.be/FTkv_zY6YJs
The Hulkbuster suit is much better in quality that I had assumed. Looks like a great set for $30.

hmmm your list makes me think I need to sit down and come up with a spending plan myself, I think the question for some of them will be do I buy the set of just bricklink the minifigs I want...especially the DC and Avengers sets

Gotta move so a ton of Lego is being piled into giant plastic containers. C'est la vie.

Hulk Buster set is the only must-have for the new Marvel ones. Looks like such a nice set with a great collection of figures for the price.

Okay, here's a new version of my Lewa MOC. I took some of y'alls criticisms into account. I decided to remove the yellow and replace it with trans green to make the color scheme more consistent, added a few things to the torso, and completley changed the legs. I actually made the old legs for a different MOC that I scrapped, so I feel like they didn't work because they didn't have the same design philosophy as the body. These new legs seem to work much, much better IMO. What do y'all think? Anything else I should fix?
EDIT: Changed the stuff on his back to big ass swords

I guess, but not because I am getting Helicarrier, because I am not, lol. Gonna do Ewok Village and Sydney Opera House if possible. Those are the last two 2013 sets I have left to pick up.

Opera House is an awesome parts pack above all else. But Ewok Village, bro. Ewok Village. So awesome all around.
You saw my lineup of UCS sets, I can't skip Ewok Village. Yeah I know I skipped R2D2 and SSD but like I said earlier, I am a huuuge fan of starfighters, land vehicles and UCS scene sets so I am all in on Ewok, Sandcrawler and Tie Fighter and rumored Hoth Base.
Thanks for the info
I'm not a Bionicle guy, but I think this version is a definite improvement. More streamlined with those revamped legs, and the swords on the back give him a more aggressive look. Love the minifig hands!

LOL. I didn't even notice the mini figs for hands. That is awesome. Like some poor guys got shoved onto the body.

I'm tryin to figure out what if anything I'm gonna pick up during Double VIP.
Need to finish Minecraft Wave 1, want at least the Ultra Agents Wave 1 Infearno set and the Toxitka(?) set, or instead I might get a modular like Pet Shop or Cinema?
Or I will probably do the responsible thing and save my money since this is the first year I'll be doing taxes as a freelancer and I'm gonna end up owing a shitload of money, I'm sure.

Do the smart thing! My wife started her own business last year and we were surprised to discover a $17,000 tax bill that she owed a couple of weeks ago. Not the end the world, but still...a lot of money.
Edit: Chezzyman those minifig hands are incredible. I didn't even notice them before Phon commented. Great idea.

Avengers set 76041 is a TRU exclusive, and is now called "The Hydra Fortress Smash".
It is the only way to get Quicksilver (or Baron Strucker), other than Bricklink'ing them. Price should be about $50USD.
Overpriced set that honestly looks boring. But I need Quicksilver and especially Baron Von Strucker. Now if only we could get comics accurate Strucker.

Overpriced set that looks boring is the creed of the Super Hero sets generally...=p

Hulkbuster went from a probably get to a MUST HAVE now after seeing that Jang video. That is one the most poseable, sturdy looking mechs in recent history as far as i am concerned!!

It's 2am and I needed contact disinfectant. So I go to Meijer, and what do they have? Hulkbuster set.
I know what I am building if I am snowed in tomorrow. Sadly, the only other Avengers set was the Hydra van with Hawkeye, Thor, and Hydra goon. I passed on that one.

Update on the main Lego room. The central table is still a mess. It will eventually be a full modular city with streets and all that but right now its just a bunch of modulars sitting on it in no setup
So jealous, I have to build on the floor
This is what heaven must look like. Awesome setup. I build half of my sets on a coffe table, the other half on the floor with my cat trying to play with the parts and push them under the furniture :/Update on the main Lego room.

I equally love you and hate you for your amazing Star Wars Lego collection. Amazing dude.
Thanks, I love star wars vehicles and scenes. I don't really pick up capital ships but I may start this year. Even if I don't have space to display the large ships now, I will have a much bigger space in one to two years. Building a goodsized house is in the pipeline.

Well, I have a bunch of non star wars sets on display in other rooms
. Plus my 50,000 brick orthanc is in the living room.So jealous, I have to build on the floor
I still build my sets at the coffee table and on the floor in my living room too. I also use the dinning room table. Eventually I will have a specific building table with hydraulic adjustable height and some other gadgets I plan to build into it.

I had stopped visiting this thread daily, because I have a baby on the way and I am currently trying to get out of debt as fast as I can. Check in about once a week now to curb the need to buy......OMG UCS TIE FIGHTER......welp. Bought.
Same here. Congratulations !!!

Very nice display! I wish I had that kind of space to have all mine out instead of the crowded somewhat disorganized mess I have going on now trying to fill every bit of shelf space I can. Definitely a very clean look you have in your room. I like it.
Your best bet is to look for individual sellers, Ebay and the like, i think.
That's how my friend found one.
Is there any hope for a re-release or more sets to be produced?
There will be a set with the Episode VII version of the X-Wing later this year, most assuredly.

The way its price is climbing, I'd just go with the UCS red five version.
Yea could tell from those previous pictures that Avengers Fortress set was going to be bloated trash. They just want you to pay to get quicksilver, absolutely no need for big fig hulk to be in that set. Being an exclusive for toys r us also means probably not many pickups so bricklinking Quicksilver and Von Strucker will probably be just as much as buying the set.
