Got the Sandcrawler (and Admiral Yularen) today. Still not built Red 5 from last year
Those are my next two purchases. Probably use Target gift cards on one and then my VIP points on the other.

I finally built Benny's Spaceship this past weekend. I really wasn't expecting the ship to be as large as it is. The stickers are largely tasteful, and the action features are really well thought out. I didn't know about them prior to the build so that was a nice surprise. Although it felt nothing like the original Space sets I built as a kid, there were definite nods.
My only complaint is the little villain ship. Totally unnecessary and feels out of place.

My favorite nod to the old space sets were the little robots that are tucked away on the ship.

I was wondering about those! Did they do those on old sets?
I only had six or seven of the very first ('77?) line of Space sets and there were no hidden robots.

The feel when the PF cable is about half an inch too short.
That being said, its incredibly exciting to be testing all the functions, and watching them work.

They put little robots in a few sets I had. I thought they had them in a few more, but here are two that I had:

My car is now fully drivable via IR, and works! Oddly, because of the way the slip gears work, it actually drives better on carpet at *high* gear, instead of low. Who cares! Works.
Still missing some pieces to install the headlights and hood, but is otherwise completely done. Once those pieces arrive, I'll be making a video or some shit.

Crappy late night pic to show size comparison between UCS TIE, UCS B Wing, and bonus Haunted House. The TIE is a beast.

The TIE is definitely a beast. Awesome display set as expected.

Looks good! Definitely seems like a series 3 is gonna happen with the absense of Principal Skinner. I can't see a series 4 happening.
Some of those in your list should be replaced with Homer's work buds.
The Lamonster

Well, Duffman is probably not happening. And sadly, neither will Moe's Tavern.
I guess Android's Dungeon would be a good bet for the next set.
I got a couple of the Simpsons figures yesterday (random picks - got Maggie and CBG) and the thing that really strikes me is the fat characters look off - CBG and Wiggum in particular, but Homer maybe too, need bigger bodies. I know it wouldn't fit in the traditional minifigu design, but if they could somehow sculpt a gut into them, I think they'd look a million times better.
I suspect they will reuse the heads already there for a few characters, and, unfortunately, avoid Moe, Duffman, Barney and anyone else mostly associated with drinking.
My semi-realistic, semi-wish list would be
Sunday Best Bart (would require a new head sculpt though)
Cool Lisa (ditto)
Cop Marge (ditto again)
Homer in bathrobe and slippers (from Homer the Heretic)
Mr Burns with Vest made of Real Gorilla Chest
Krusty in Tuxedo
Sideshow Bob
Dr Nick
Principal Skinner
Otto
Mayor Quimby
McBain
Sea Captain
Lenny
Carl
Jasper
Probably a bit light on girls and kids, though.

Anyone else with their tie fighter done have really out of line printing on their top dish.
Its the top one so Im not even sure Im going to call them on it. But I know they would change it without any question. My biggest fear was the cockpit glass being off as well but it's perfect.

Ooh, Simpsons series 3 wishlists? Fun! I know some people aren't fond of the theme, but personally I was a Simpsons fan before I was a Lego fan so I hope this continues. I'm thinking...
1. Stonecutters Homer
2. Pink Chanel suit Marge
3. Cool Lisa
4. Kamp Krusty Bart
5. Snowsuit Maggie
6 Principal Skinner
7 Agnes Skinner
8 Moe
9 Barney
10 Crazy Cat Lady
11 Sideshow Bob
12 Cletus
13 Jasper
14 Otto
15 Sea Captain
16 Bumblebee Man
For some slightly more out-there possibilities...Poochie (we have Itchy and Scratchy), or I could even see them doing Kang and Kodos.
Wolfcastle as Radioactive Man is a definite possibility.
I'd like to see Lenny and Carl someday too, but maybe in a Power Plant set (or a Moe's set....LET ME DREAM!). Maybe a school set one day with Jimbo/Kearney/Dolph or even Superintendent Chalmers. There are just too many possibilities!
Edit: I would sell my soul for Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure minifigures. I personally think they've gone too far in the "respecting Phil's memory" bit. I mean they pretend those characters never existed now. I get not using anyone else's voice in the show and retiring the characters, but they deserve to be lego-ized dammit! Mrs. K was.

Call them on it. They should know regardless since it might be a batch issue that they need to fix.

Oh, man. That is horrible. But, like others said, contact LEGO. It is probably a bad batch.

Well, now that it's been said, what are everyone's dream Futurama figures?
I imagine the set would be the Planet Express with Fry, Leela, and Bender. $75? $100? I guess they could go Simpsons route and do the actual building with the ship for $200, include Fry, Leela, Bender, Amy, Zoidburg, Hermes, and the Prof? Probably all sleepy/high versions of all of them too, like Simpsons house.
So the minifigs would be:
1) Fry
2) Leela
3) Bender
4) Amy
5) Hermes
6) Zoidburg
7) Farnsworth
8) Scruffy
9) Zapp Brannigan
10) Kif
Beyond here I actually... don't know where they could go because the cast is so diverse
11) Nibbler
12) Francis X. Clampazzo
13) Flexo
14) Roberto
15) MOM
16) Cubert J. Farnsworth

Those all sound great. I would add a $20 buildable Nixon mech set with headless agnew. Also a collectable Head in jar li e like CMFs. Oh and Futurama advent calendar with robot Santa.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I wanted to give you guys a heads up for a post I made in the LEGO Marketplace thread. A month or so ago I posted that I had a bunch of 90's sets for sale, and I just put the list in the Marketplace thread.

So very, very NEED.

Final Duel + Shuttle will be mine.
Interested in 4 out of 5 new SW sets, which is surprising lol. The shuttle just look great and a must buy before the end of the year. I also like the Naboo starfighter which is possibly the most memorable from the prequels. The infiltrator is tempting since it would be a perfect opportunity to buy a modern Darth Maul minifig (and get Qui Gon + young Obi Wan). I also want the final duel since it's an iconic scene and that new Darth Vader minifig is superb. :] Still, that's alot of money if I combine those with the upcoming episode VII sets. XD That's not even counting the rumored large scale Hoth base which would probably cost over 200$.
