Even if all the games were magically available today, I couldn't afford it, unless a miracle happened and I got big lot discounts. I'm really going for a boxed set, but will probably try for a mixed set first. (Loose+) my holy grail would be a sealed set, but I've come to accept that's almost entirely out of my hands.
My biggest challenge is bringing myself to buy all the crappy ahovelware, which so far I have limited myself to only getting them if they come in lots.
Even money not being an issue, I don't even know if that's possible for a system like the GBA. I could be wrong but for cardboard sets that has to be the most difficult one. The thing about shovelware titles is that since they were so easy to make, they were easy to be ignored by consumers. No body may have bought "Goody Gum Drop 7+" so finding a sealed copy, anywhere might be hard if they only made 5000 initial copies and most of them were destroyed. A complete set would be quite amazing.
