Not if you want them for any value.

 

Yes if you want them just for yourself.

My son says his Lego sets are now selling for a lot of money.  He's not selling, but it's interesting to see the prices. 

 

I collect antique toy sewing machines and they are not worth much anymore.  I don't really care because I didn't buy them as an investment.  I think everyone should collect something.  It's fun and shows your personality.

I have a few "collectibles" in my home I'm extremely anxious to get rid of but the stuff isn't mine. These collections belonged to my husband's family, none of which I want or need, items I would not collect. We've seemed to get stuck with the stuff when his parents died, his brother wanted none of the stuff, had no intention of taking any of it. My husband being the pack rat that he grew into couldn't say no so it's in our home now. 

 

Heaven forbid, I just take it upon myself to rid our house of others' stuff that landed here. I could end up being the one thing he'd get rid of!!!!!

@PINKdogWOOD , I hear you.  I ended up with some of that and I eventually gave it away to other family members.

Buy them if you like them.  Be advised, they are dust collectors.

 

My mother liked Hummels and had a few.  A good friend collected Lladro.  To me they are ugly.  I never saw the point of these figurines.
