Hi Matt,
I suggest that you start with the basics, litterally. Forget about buying
theme specific stuff for now. Go out and buy a few blue tubs (#3033) and
some Classic Buckets (#4222 is a good one). Buckets tend to be more
economical and have a greater variety of parts than theme-specific sets. You
can start stockpiling bricks, slopes, plates, etc for cheaper than you could
with Lego System sets. Also, after building with a couple of buckets, you
will have a better idea of which theme interests you the most and you can
procede from there.
HTH,
