probably spend about billion dollars to make some particle accelerators, or ask some existing lab to let you move all your stuff into there lab, since ognassen would not last for even a second (all nearby elements are basically same in this, ognassen being most stable), so you would have to move your collection to their lab to have a "complete" set
I'll have multiple particle accelerators that constantly runs as they decay in my basement
Best of luck for the electricity bills
You think i can run particle accelerators from power grid??
I'll have a nuclear power plant
Ah, stupid me, obviously you have a nuclear reactor, what would you do else with loads on nuclear waste from the accelerators.
One man's trash is other man's wealth. Nuclear reactor's waste can also be in my periodic table collection
This nerd did nothing wrong, now they're training him to be a hardened criminal
Well that's stupid. In a couple of billion years he'll have to get more!
if he had astatine, more like 20 mins
Wake me up when he has his vial of Francium ready.
Oh don't worry, it will wake up the whole neighborhood.
Going down a Wikipedia Plutonium rabbit hole, I just realized that the Metropolis algorithm was named after a real person.
Dr. Metropolis sounds like a superhero
It's Dr Manhattan at home
Spoliers: Dr. Metropolis is revealed to be a villain that was working against the heroes the whole time.
How was he planning to get Oganesson?
Maybe he was oganessing a solution
Too bad it's not 1985. I heard in 1985 it would be available in every corner drugstore.
Nope. In 1985, your best bet for plutonium was connections from Libya. A guy named Doc Brown was my hookup, had a really nice DeLorean he was working on for a project of his...

I know of a hookup. Meet the Libyans in the Twin Pines Mall parking lot after hours. Be sure to wear a bullet proof vest.
you should probably run for it, Marty.
That's the Lone Pine mall. Some crazy looking car took out the other pine in 1955, no doubt driven by a drunk spaceman!
Old man Peabody owned all of this. He had this crazy idea about breeding Pine Trees…

pretty sure.... there's nothing illegal about buying plutonium for a elements collection. Pretty sure, also there's a lab supply somewhere in australia that keeps the samples in stock.
Also pretty the russians are having a pretty decent sale on polonium, if you're looking for that.
Probably depends on how much they tried to import. 1mg is probably no big deal, but 1Mg would be.

Here is how you get your hands on plutonium legally.
In both cases it may still be illegal to smuggle into the country and therefor you will need a local supplier after obtaining the proper license. The permit process asks you what amounts you will obtain and who the supplier will be even before permission is issued. The easiest and least harmful would likely be an ore containing trace amounts of a safer isotope. For higher purity you would need a refined product likely only available at government facilities and contractors.
Ever since the Nuclear Boyscout incident it's been a lot harder to obtain radioactive elements without tons of paperwork and red tape, and for good reasons.
