Nice! I have a Canon T3i but I'm still on the stock lens. I need to get some more lenses.
There's also the new winter village set that hasn't been revealed yet.

Grabbed the X-Wing and a Storm Trooper keychain to get over the $74 TC-14 requirement and grabbed three Series 7 figures. Gold Medal Swimmer, Tennis Player and the Daredevil. Was really hoping for the Black Knight or a Bunny Man but didn't have time to play feel the bag.
Almost picked up the Marvel set with Wolverine, Magneto and Deadpool, but kept on budget instead.
How much will this TC-14 raise in value and how much will it lose if I open it up?

Get it when you go back in two weeks to get the exclusive Hulk minifig.

You need to spend $75 no? Otherwise I probably would.
This is definitely my most anticipated set, after the haunted house. I'd like to see them develop an official line for the winter village. I think the sets just fall under the 'seasonal' banner, but if they had their own branding, they could build on the theme, like adding in another holiday train similar to the 2006 model.

Got some S7 minifigs; Bagpiper, Rabbit man, Computer Nerd, Aztec Awrrior, Dark Night x 2 and Space Marine x 2. Just need a Hippy now.
It's very dangerous working 2 minutes away from a WHSmith which I pass twice a day. I can see myself getting many more Space Marines.

The falcon is a great build! I loved it
Yeah I'm excited for it. I thought the figures were more exciting as well. I'm really on the fence in general if I want the SSD. On the one hand it looks awesome and probably fun to build. On the other hand it's very expensive and I have no freaking idea where I would ever put it once it's built.

I'm still deciding whether to get the Shuttle and it may come down to whether the Lego store here still has it in stock by the time I get there. I don't know where I'll put it but there's a couple places where it could go if I thrown some shit out and rearrange.
But if I do that, I don't know where the Haunted House will go later.

Picked up R2-D2, my free mini fig, and got the free poster on my lunch break. I'll save other purchases for the free Hulk figure.

Holy crap, the Shuttle is 28" tall in the stand...Ok, there is only one spot in my apartment where it could go.

That is my problem with it too...where the heck to put the thing. It looks fantastic though...same with the shuttle. I love it to death and it is one of my favorite vehicles from the series but that thing is way to big.

Whooo! My R2 shipped! WHOOOO!
Do it, it's an awesome model, good enough to have on display in pride of place.
And when haunted house comes out just break the shuttle down, you can rebuild it later

I was tempted to use my $25 in VIP points but I think I'm going to accumulate more with the dream of buying the Death Star one day.

No, none at all.
I was considering the SSD, but I figured I'd try and draw the line around the $300 mark. I've got the Fire Brigade, that big alien HQ jeep/ship thing, and soon I'll have the Tydirium all sitting in boxes in my closet because I have no room for the sets. Before year end I hope to have the Town Hall, Pet Shop, R2, and UCS B-Wing... AND... Hopefully the LotR sets.

Jelly of your camera! I still have my old D50
I started with a Nikon D40 and stock lens myself, I learned a ton of stuff while using it =)
You sound just like me... Haha!

Only LotR set I'll probably get is Gandalf's arrives and Weathertop just for the minifigs.

Finally saw the UCS SSD today and I'm finding it pretty underwhelming. So those on the fence, don't worry about it. Granted I might be jaded by my UCS SD which I think looks infinitely better and was probably more fun to build.
It's all about perspective. Some people might spend more but appreciate less
you got some good stuff!Reluctant-Hero

I caved. Ended up ordering:
Will be getting the R2-D2 poster and TC-14 for free too.
- Lego MBA Kit 1
- Anakin's Jedi Interceptor
- Series 7 minifigure
- Series 6 minifigure

The Death Star is still my favorite of the 30+ sets I own. I bought it over a year ago with the intention to resell it once it went out of print. I held off on opening it for about a year. I finally caved and built that beauty. It was so worth it. It makes a great playset and display piece. I've also outfitted it with about 40 supplementary minifigs to enhance it whitch was a blast accumulating as well.
Anyone? looking for suggestions to spend money I should not be spending on. lol

You just have to spend 50. And you aren't limited to the Super Heroes sets either. At least that is what the people at my Lego store said.
Love the shiny figure, this is perhaps the first limited edition minifig I've gotten. Now what to buy in the coming weeks when you can snag that Hulk figure...

Are you looking to make the $75? I'd probably get something off the Alien Conquest line, if I didn't have most of it already.
Hmm, those TC's are going for $30-$50 on ebay...I'm tempted to actually spend the $75 now...
In Canada/U.S. you definitely need to spend $75 on Star Wars merch. It clearly says so on the splash on the main store page.
edit: I just tried putting $75 worth of merch in my cart and it still gave the TC, strange...

Can't believe they're going for that much...if I knew it might net me some minifigures I want (Like Luna Lovegood or the Scarecrow among others), I'd probably sell mine.

SSD is pretty skinny, and easily fits on top of bookshelves.

Yup, see post earlier on this page. Any combination of items that clears $75 will get you TC-14, the poster & free shipping.

That's the main reason I'm probably going to take apart the UCS Falcon, and maybe sell it. It's a great piece, but takes up a ton of room, so I can't just put it on a shelf.
I've built my giant Lego set, now I'm just going to focus on "smaller" stuff that can be displayed. Like the POTC ships or modular buildings.

Just bought my little girl her first Lego sets. She just turned one. Here's what I got:

That is so bought! Set looked great, but knowing it was a Berard design has pushed me over the edge.

Fuck GAF. I can't decide between SSD and R2D2. 350 dollars is a lot of cash. I guess it can go n the bar in my kitchen. I know it will easily double n value once it's discontinued but agh!
