Your list included LOTR, and you haven't owned it in the past, so LOTR. I firmly believe that every pinhead should own it at least once. Maybe wait a bit until you have owned a few more games, but at some point, it's a must own.
LOTR in a home environment is nothing like playing it on location. The rules are just so good, and it takes time to really get to know it. But as you play it, it's one of the best games ever made.
