Diddly:
The new LEGO sets look great and the LEGO bug is starting to bite me again since Hasbro distribution is so bad... only bad thing is that I have other versions of most of these sets and only want the updated minifigs. Decisions, decisions...

Same here. I started out buying the Lego Star Wars stuff when it was first released, but because of Hasbro cranking out 50 million things a year, I stopped buying them between Episodes I and II, aside from grabbing the Boba Fett-related stuff. In my then-completist mind, I thought it would be best if I sold all of the old sets so I wouldn't be tempted to buy more. Needless to say, I regret that decision. Even though the majority of those sets have been redone in far superior versions, I find myself kind of wishing that I'd gone the other direction and dropped the Hasbro stuff in favor of the Lego stuff.
I'm still not going full-bore into the Lego SW stuff, but I've kind of made amends with my completist mentality (in that it doesn't exist anymore, and I can pick and choose what to get). I've grabbed a few of the newer sets (namely the Bounty Hunter Gunship, the Sith Nightspeeder, General Grievous' Starfighter, and the Geonosian Starfighter) and they really are a lot of fun. There's also that sense of accomplishment you get from completing a Lego model that, in all honesty, isn't there when you're done assembling a Hasbro vehicle (no matter how cool it might be).
The new Republic Frigate and the Anakin/Sebulba Pod sets are what is tempting me at this very moment. I'm hoping that, despite the slight TRU markup, they have another BOGO50%off sale soon so I can grab both of them at a slightly reduced price.

My wife (and by extension my boys) went way above the call of duty and got me this bad boy for my birthday yesterday. I told her she didn't have to spend that kind of money on me but I am extremely grateful.
I honestly don't know where I'm, one, going to build it and two, where I'm going to put once it's done.
