I only use my reciprocating saw for demolition! Get a good table saw first. You can probably skip the circular saw, unless you plan to do outside construction.
Think about a bandsaw. I have a 14" JET that gets used for nearly every project.
You will need a good router, a belt sander, a random-orbit sander, all of the clamps you can buy, beg, or borrow, a good drill motor, and a selection of augers, Forstner bits, and HSS twist drill bits.
Someday, you'll want an air compressor and a selection of air nailers for brads and finshing nails.
If you get really lucky, maybe you'll find a sponsor and wind up with the New Yankee Workshop! (DROOL)

Before you go buying a lot of peripheral tools, buy the best table saw you can afford. It is the heart and soul of every woodshop. Then get a mitre-saw and a drill. You'd be amazed at what you can accomplish with just those three tools. Then get clamps...you can never have enough clamps!
As for a planer and jointer hold off on that for a while. unless you're buying really thick stock, you shouldn't need a planer right away. You can accomplish the same effect as a jointer by clamping a long straight board to the fence of your table saw.

Depends on what projects you plan to take on.
For me I have to have a planer, router and joiner along with the other tools you mentioned. I also have several types of sanders and a shop vac system(one that collects the dust before it even hits the air or ground). Of course I love doing a lot or small/large projects around the house and helping friends.
I dont have a circular saw because I have a great table saw with plenty of room to work on.

If you've got it to spend go ahead and invest in a Shopsmith. It's got 10" Table Saw 34" Lathe 12" Disc Sander Horizontal Drill and 16 1/2" Drill Press

My favorite and most useful tool is my ratcheting screwdriver! It has many different bits that ya just slip right on into the end. Also in the handle is a place to store the bits. I got it for Christmas 2 years ago and I love it.

I am in the same boat as you and currently have all you have listed. I am waiting on the table saw though due to space and the other saws can do everything a table saw can do. Go with a router. You will be amazed at its capabilities. Hold off on the planer/jointer for a bit.

Tape measure, carpenter pencils, tool belt, saws all, hammer, level, router, various sized wood screws, self tapping screws, and nails... wood glue, clamps, rasp, planer, shims, a few select flannel shirts in order to give you the appearance of being a professional carpenter, and an illegal alien to assist you for about $3.50 per hour:) LOL just kidding with the last two suggestions... Good luck with your new wood shop...
