Having the mini X-Wing to go along side the UCS X-wing appeals, but I've been having evil thoughts about leaving it sealed, and that might start something I may live to regret...
*Everything = spent almost two years searching for instructions + a few months collecting the parts + spending the weekend indoors due to Hurricane Patricia and her torrential downpours in Houston.
Completed the EU segment of SW minifigs with #75025 Jedi Cruiser from eBay arriving yesterday.
Completed the Racers collection by finally getting #8156 Ferrari FXX, was surprisingly tough tracking a decent one down.
Power Function parts for a motorized Wall-E came in along with the Holiday Train promo, but no Wall-E himself just yet.
Now about to start on the Bat-Pod, quite excited for this one!
Now I want to collect all the other ones that are still available too. It all started when the restaurant was released last year. But I just kept putting it off, saying to myself 'you are not a city lego collector, so don't even think about getting a modular'. Now I just ordered the modular set which I think will retire first of the current bunch. Looking forward to receiving and building it.
Just do it.
I really want to get the Parisian Restaurant and Detective's Office right now, but am trying to be sensible and get the older ones first.
I love lego just built today's free little set from the daily mirror :) if I knew then what I know now :)
My advice is, buy the modular first that is around longest, which at this moment is the Petshop. Of course feel free to ignore it and buy the one you like best, but this is what I have chosen to do.
The next modular on my wishlist is Paradise Cinema, then Parisian Restaurant, which judging from pictures is my favourite one. After that I will purchase (a long time from now in the future) the latest one: the Detective's Office. And then finally I plan on buying the one to be released in 2016; the Brick Bank. But who knows, by that time there might already be another new one released, or my focus has shifted to other Lego sets.
What I specifically like about the Petshop set is that it consists of two buildings, so once I buy the next modular, I can start splitting them up breaking up any possible monotony with regards to the width of all the other ones. What I also like about the brown family house is that it is somewhat bare inside, so you can mess about with the interior.
Funny, like you, I watched Jang's video review of the Petshop earlier today, and it struck me that only one of the two houses has a toilet, and that neither has a real bathroom. I have no idea if there is space enough in those buildings to add such features, as well as other details to make it look more 'realistic'?! Maybe I will be happy with the two houses just as they are, but who knows, I might very well change the Petshop into a bike shop, a butcher shop, or whatever else I want to change, if I feel that urge to start tinkering with this set. Anyway I am happy with the modular set I chose.
Success, and good luck deciding which, and in what order, you will go down the modular route!
Does he have issues?
b.t.w.
They are also just doing it:

Just bullseye that polybag as if it is a whomprat, and build that micro X-Wing. You did not buy the UCS either just to look at the sealed box.
Just grap some scissors and carefully cut the packaging open along the seam at the top and keep the polybag if you like. Ultimately it is about the Lego inside the polybag not the bag. Or get a second sealed one, if keeping a polybag sealed is that important to you.
Don't be too hasty with the Lego clearout! But if you have some nice sets in need of adopting by a good home, you know who to ask ;-)
I'm really not good with parting with things so it will be a hard time, Phil said he would part with his crawler but I looked at him and said no :) for me it's what's in the wardrobe and drawers and in boxes on top of the wardrobe that I've not looked at for a few years.
