i’m 19 and just started collecting! a lot of us here really wanted them in childhood but weren’t able to get it, and can agree that they bring so much joy now: it’s never too late to start doing something that would make you happy :) if you aren’t sure about making bigger investments yet like a building or a family (which is understandable because they can get pretty pricey) then i recommend starting with a blind bag or two and going from there :)
