Just the figs please- far too many shitty vehicles.

Haha, ya, I don't really want vehicles, I want the haunted house and sets like it. And the minifigs. Maybe I will have money yet.
But of those I'd probably get the castle, the wolfman, and maybe the dracula car, looks like an interesting build.

The Star Wars Magnet set 852843 is $14.99 MSRP but it went out of print January 2011.
Gold Leader's Y-Wing 9495 is $49.99 and has the ANH Celebration version of her.
But honestly, if you just need Leia, grab her on ebay.

yeah, looks like it, thanks
Please do post a pic of the actual model. Always love to see MOCs.
And as promised, here is more Lego Deadpool awfulness.
I also uploaded all the pics onto the Tumblr finally. It is my first time attempting a blog/photo sharing thing, so bear with me on it. But I promise to keep posting pics there.

This seriously made me crack up, good job on this!
As for Tumblr how does it work? Can we share photos to it at as well? Can I post my own Deadpool comic to your Tumblr?
Are those the precursors to the x-wing and TIE fighter?
None of those star wars or monster fighter sets do anything for me. Don't like the b-wing either (generally), so don't expect to buy that, and R2D2 is poor. Which will be a relief to my wallet and let me concentrate on other sets.

They're ships from Star Wars: The Old Republic, the PC MMORPG that's akin to WoW.
The smaller one is a fighter and the larger sith one is a frigate.

That Sith Interceptor is so mine. I just started watching clone wars and I am afraid of that Malevolence set calling my name.
been looking at Malevolence preview vids, it is very playable, very nice set

Thanks ghostmind, for all the new info/pics you've been posting. Please keep it up!
I am especially looking forward to new info on the B-Wing and Haunted House.

I'm on the fence with the Monster sets, but my kids will love the fuck out of em so I'll get them all. I also like the idea of gathering the crystals from each set. They will have a great time playing with those.

I will probably end up with the wolfman set. I love the other minifig too

Actually, I take back what I said. While it is indeed one stud connection, it's far more solid than I thought, because it's a technic plate hole and a standard brick stud going into it. It's very firm and solid actually, especially if both parts are new. There are fragile segments on the model though, but I was expecting that given how complex it is. You can't just grab it at any spot and twirl it around, but that's the case with practically anything made of Lego. If you hold it by an obviously solid mid section you can move it around just fine however.
It's a truly fascinating model, the way it all comes together seems almost impossible. As in, you just cannot believe that someone could have pre-planned all of it. It's also really tricky to build at times, and you have to be very careful, like if you're making ship in the bottle, but things become much sturdier when they are fully in place. I don't think I've ever built anything remotely this complex, challenging or enjoyable to be honest, and the aspect of having to figure out the parts that have to go into it, instead of having straightforward instruction, adds the whole puzzle feeling.
Here's a few wip photos:

My wife, despite frowning in a very ladylike manner at my purchasing of Lego, just organised for the kids to get me the Battle of Hoth board game for my birthday. The mini AT-AT's and Snowspeeder's are cute as all get out, I'm pretty damn impressed with the whole set.
It's tempting to start assembling it now while they're all out of the house, but I'm supposed to be working and it's more fun with them building with me anyway.

I'm so glad I'm able to hold off from all th sw sets, I would be bankrupt within a week.
Sticking to creator and modulars (as much as possible)

Bought the X-Wing set and two mini-figs today. The X-Wing was a little disappointing since a majority of it was building the same thing four times (the wings) and the two mini-figs I got were the same exact two.

One should be Luke and one Porkins. Contact Lego if they weren't.Bought the X-Wing set and two mini-figs today. The X-Wing was a little disappointing since a majority of it was building the same thing four times (the wings) and the two mini-figs I got were the same exact two.

Damn that sucks, was debating on getting this or the tie-fighter hmmmmm.

The TIE build is equally monotonous imo. The X-Wing build might be more interesting actually. They look great though.

I meant two separate mini-figs. From series 6. I got Luke and Porkins.
The X-Wing looks nice when it's finally built, but it wasn't as much fun putting together as the Millennium Falcon or the little car Creator set I got.
I just wanted to build nice star wars set that takes a little time and turns out great in the end. I wished they would re-release those mini sets for Millennuim falcon, it was the perfect size for me.

Slave 1 was a fun build, looks great, and fun to play with. I love that it is not exactly symmetrical in the little details, because the ship has been repaired and modified so many times.
Ah, gotcha.

X-wing is generally considered a fantastic build. Sorry you didn't love it as much as others.
The TIE is not as fun but is one of the best looking star wars sets when complete.

The wings get tedious. I did it right after the TIE though so i was kind of sick of building wings 4x. The body is great though.

I bought the X Wing, Y Wing, and Tie Fighter over the last few months and for me my favorite build of all three was the Y wing. I also think that one looks the best out of the three.

Picked up a small Lego Batman set. Nice little build, I really like the traffic light and there are a bunch of neat pieces to use in other sets.
Even the tiny newspaper has an extremely small story.
Been looking at this set. Is there anyway to get the blue cape that would go with this batman minifig? Can I order it directly from Lego?
In other news I just won an eBay auction for the last Alien Conquest sets I needed. Alien Defender, Alien Tripod & Alien Mothership. All three for $71.48 shipped. Pretty good deal I think as all three total for $90 msrp.
With these, I'm done with Lego until the Spider-man & SWTOR sets later this year.

Ugh, so much prequel/clone wars garbage in those SW sets.

I LOVE them, those are the greatest Star Wars LEGO sets ever made.
They all look ugly and I won't be spending any money on any of them!

I, for one, am thankful for all the prequel garbage. It allows me to spend that money on some Monster Hunter sets, finish my in print modular collection, and save money for the UCS B-Wing at the end of the year.
Although, some of those ships look cool. Clearance cool, but not full price cool.
And the more more I look at the Monster Hunter series, the more I love it. Great mini figs, and some really fun and inspired designs to the sets.

But I am glad. I'm already not sure if I will buy the B-Wing. Too many other things coming up.
Dat chromish Malgus figure will probably be one I will pick up, dunno if I'll buy the Interceptor to get it though. That SWTOR artoo unit also looks like a pickup. Love that design!
Looking at the sets though, I think the Sarlac pit is the only one I'll pick up. Four all new figures, a Lego Sarlac, a Lego pseudo Pleasure Barge? Yes please! (On sale...)
Potentially you have a couple of years of dull sets before the movie rereleases get round to the OT. But then there is the possibility of three years of OT goodness.
And I think they'll stick with OT for the UCS sets.
Not familiar with Clone Wars or SWTOR, but I kinda like small ships and R2 units.
I'll probably also grab the Skiff and Jabba's Palace. Some neat minifigures there. Jabba's Palace might be a fun playset.
Planning to grab the X-Wing and Y-Wing soon, and if money permits, the Tie Fighter and Millenium Falcon.
I'm most certainly grabbing R2D2 as I don't mind the head, although I will be trying to put in some slopes and plates to see if it looks better. It also looks like a neat project to motorize. Maybe I can grab the old Droid Developer set as well and integrate that.
As for the rest, the LOTR sets aren't that great, but I'll definitely be collecting the minifigures. Will also probably be getting every Monster Fighter set except for the Ghost Train; and a lot of City vehicles are calling out my name (the LEGO truck!). Wolverine's Chopper and Loki's Escape will also be mine. Will try to get Hulk separately.

Monster Fighters (fall 2012):
I want that. Will be interested to see if it's the same blower as the Racers models and how they handle the exhaust manifolds (if at all). Nice to see more vehicles.
Edit: It isn't the same blower as the Racers models although it might be the same as the ones on Nitro Muscle (8146).

Man I remember seeing that set on the shelf in Kmart discounted to clear, it was just when I'd started getting back into Lego and decided against it, regret it to this day, it's a great looking set with a ton of useful pieces for MOC modulars.
ooh, get some mindstorms, and mod R2D2 to be a line-following bot.
My wanted list for the rest of the year is really only
-Town Hall
- Quinjet
- Haunted house

Only 50? Nice deal man
I just checked Lego.com for that under replacement parts for that set and looks like you can't order it. I seem to remember that certain licensed sets wouldn't let you re-order character specific parts.
Here is the Bricklink page though.

Monster Fighters is such weird branding... just... odd.
