Well, if one weren't selective in which characters/eras to depict... and bought all the now-rare mecha toys... and didn't already have a large capital investment in bricks... perhaps yes. If so, the activity would truly qualify as an obsession. And then sensationalist journalists could write stories about how fanfic makes readers wEiRd (and users of LaTeX, weirder).

Hey! Cardboard cutouts! Minifigs of the characters, standing in front of to-scale 2D reps of the large props. It's "LEGO Studios" meets "The Mainframe Players".
