Looking through the bestiaries, it has become apparent to me that there is a distinct lack of high-level Fey creatures. You have your high CR demons, devils, and all other sorts of baddies-- but no Fey.
I'd like to start a thread which compiles a good deal of the buggers, so feel free to add all you like (they don't necessarily have to be high level).

Traits Fast Talker, Reactionary
Special Qualities Keeper of the Labyrinth, No Breath, Telepathy 100 ft., Trackless Step, Wild Empathy
Languages Common, Sylvan, Aklo, Giant, Draconic, AbyssalAccursed Touch (Su)
Pan can lay a curse upon those he touches, the effect of which is identical to bestow curse. Pan chooses what affliction to impose on his target, which remains indefinitely, or until remove curse is cast upon them.Light Fortification (Ex)
Pan has stony flesh, covered in plant growth. When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored against him, there is a 25% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally.Keeper of the Labyrinth (Su)
Pan is the guardian of the Arch, an ancient portal connecting the Material Realm and the Feywild. The Arch sits upon one of the most potent leylines in existence, which is why a portal between the two realms first formed there so long ago. The lands surrounding the Arch have taken on many of the properties of the Feywild, and a demiplane has long ago begun to form there. Known simply as “the Hedge,” this demiplane consists of a vast network of hedge mazes, which seem to twist and turn, and fold into one another. The labyrinth is endless, stretching for untold miles in each direction. Those who have stumbled into the Hedge and have been lucky enough to make it out again can tell you, the Hedge is maddening: time has no value there, you may only step within for a moment to find days, weeks, or even years have passed on the outside. While wandering its corridors, hours flow into day, and days into years.Within the Hedge, teleportation is impossible. All creatures entering are affected by dimension lock (no saving throw).
Pan is a god within the Hedge. He can see and hear everything within the Hedge all at once, and can alter its shape at will. He can never become lost and is unaffected by the dimensional lock in the Hedge. Pan can teleport to any location within the Hedge at will, as the spell of the same name.
If Pan is slain within the Hedge, he will reform within 1d6+1 days.
Hedge Traits
Gravity Normal; Time Flowing; Shape Self-Contained; Morphic Divine (Pan); Energy None; Aligned Chaos; Magic Enhanced TransmutationNo Breath (Ex)
Pan does not breathe, and is immune to effects that require breathing. This does not give immunity to cloud or gas attacks that do not require breathing.Rooted (Ex)
Pan becomes like stone, nearly impossible to move when he stands his ground. If he starts and ends his turn in the same space, he cannot be knocked prone or forcibly moved until the start of his next turn, even by mind-affecting or teleportation effects.Supernatural Speed (Su)
Pan moves with incredible speed. Whenever he moves, Pan’s shape blurs and shimmers with unearthly grace, granting him concealment (20% miss chance). In addition, this ability grants Pan evasion and uncanny dodge (as the rogue abilities of the same names).Trackless Step (Ex)
Pan leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked, unless he chooses (as the druid ability of the same name).Wild Empathy (Su)
This works like the druid's wild empathy class feature, except that Pan has a +10 racial bonus on the check.
Awesome!
I have your same feeling. I am a big fan of fey creatures, i think more high level should exist.
Oberon and Titania. Or their ripoffs Kournos and Ariel in Warhammer fantasy. The theme of Kournos is cool and very strong, as shown by the MMV in 3.5 with the awesome monster Wild Hunt.
Monsters built upon them would be cool.
Moreover, I think that several monsters shown as Outsiders should be fey instead. The Wendigo is an example.
Oberon and Titania would be fun to stat up. I've considered it, along with Morgan LeFay, but haven't had the time.
I could have sworn the Wendigo was a Fey (haha, he is in my world)!
Oh, another good one would be the Beldam, as portrayed in Neil Gaiman's Coraline.
The Iron Kingdoms had some fantastic Fey creatures (called Grymkin), namely Gristle & Flay (skinwalker-types), the Gentleman Stranger (a shapechanger which assumes the identity of a nobleman, causing all sorts of mischief), the Glimmer Imp (appears in mirrors, stealing peoples' eyes), and the Twilight Sisters (a pair of witches which appear before the wounded/dying, promising salvation at a cost).
The Aos sì in wikipedia can bring in more inspiration. Once again, a lot of fey already exist in the game with another type, like the undead Dullahan (wich makes sense since is is without the head O_o).
I suppose one caould borrow from myths from several parts of the world...
Another thing coming in my mind: the Morrigan could be statted as a sort of evil fey queen. The triple aspect would be of great inspiration for creating it (thank you Pat O'Shea).
The Bean Nighe could be the fey version of a "banshee-ish" monster.
Greek myths is another thing one could borrow from. There are a lot of other Nymphs other than the ones already statted (again, the Oread is gone for good :P).
Another idea are Japanese animal spirits.
Single tail foxes could be trivial, 2-3 HD monsters, but ancient nine tails ones could be scary monsters able to worry a pit fiend. See for a "modern" version of this, see Ushio&Tora, or the videogame Okami.
Perhaps could be built, mechanichally, around the same disguise-based spell likes of the low HD ones, with more physical strenght, aggressive powers and greater action economy due to tails.
