You should wait to make the partslist when you are a day or two before buying the parts. Things change and big new releases should happen in between now and 1 month.

Unfortunately, I doubt I will be able to do any shopping until mid-May, for my own personal financial reasons. But I will definitely keep my eyes open for various financial opportunities regarding my parts.
