The problem I ran into was, despite having a few thousand Lego, I was woefully short on parts that were useful for building tiny mechs. Small, yes, but not tiny like all the examples.
Buying stock kits for mech parts results in a lot of parts that are bigger than what I want. The tiny sets (robot, monkey, race car line, etc) are okay, but they're expensive for what you're getting.
I found the most value out of buying parts from Bricklink. And the Mechaton rulebook gives a pretty good starting point for "useful pieces." I've got a list of parts that I put into the starter sets I built. But for personal use, I think just finding a well-stocked, reasonably-priced Bricklink store and adding cool-looking tiny parts until you hit your budget is the way to go.
