Hi
If you buy the most recent release of the Universal Carrier by Tamiya you get decent figures and some accessories. You can scratchbuild tarps etc. to go with it to hide all that gear that could be in the back. You're right, each version is the same kit, but you get all the old stuff, and some more with each new release. The figures now are MUCH better than the originals. So unless you plan a desert scene, you can go for NW Europe or Italian Campaign right out of the box with figures that are decent.
If you want to spend lots of money on an area outside your main interest (don't we all!), you could add some figures from Ultracast along with ammo boxes etc. made by them. Dragon make several sets of British/Commonwealth figures that could work for you too.
