Anyone with the money can army build using new figures...it takes time & dedication to truly build a good collection of older figures & vehicles.
In one case, it took many years of attending toy fairs & boot sales to complete my

It reminded me more to the Simpson's Treehouse of Horror segment with Bart as Stretch Dude and Lisa as Clobber Girl, where the Collector (Comic Book Guy) had many celebrities in mylar bags.
