Collectors = waste of money. You pay 1mil for some little device, then you have to blow money on the batteries. I hear that it takes forever to collect 10 of one piece for something.
Really... this event seems to be useless. I would only get a collector to get a riding cloud, not for this silly little idea.

As said before, this is SOOO wrong.
I was an 8x AoE int-BP, frustrated with an inability to giant hunt and hating my weak asal. So I sold my two plug +9's, upgraded a collector to +5 and bought a gold battery. It was about 60m initial investment. I spent all my money on a gamble that this would pay off. On day 1 of collecting I had no penya.
Day 5 collecting- Bought a restat for 130m
Day 7 collecting- Ivilness knuck +7+5 water for 45m
Day 10 collecting- Bought a reskill for 160m
Day 12 collecting- Bought 1 mighteer for 18m
Those are just the big purchases. I've spent probably an additional 50m on various awakened items and such. So for my 60m investment, in 12 days of collecting (about 15-20 hours a day afk) I have made well over 350m penya. And that number is going up, especially now with the event. They are selling like hot cakes even at 500k each. At 500k they sell immediately, so I'm thinking the price could be even higher. I'll easily make 50m+ between now and the end of today.
To see someone call this a "waste of time" just means you haven't done it yet. It has brought me from destitute poverty into large amounts of money. Everyone I speak to agree it pays for itself in a few days. In demian, cloud pieces sell for 6-8m, lightning pieces 10m, volcano pieces 5m. I've gotten dozens of cloud pieces, a couple lightning pieces, and a few volcanos. All that adds up, plus the tons of rubies and topazes you get, plus the occasional sapphire, diamond, and emerald.
But you really all should ignore this. More collectors will just mean prices go down and we all make less profit. This event will probably spur major interest in collecting, so many of the usual items will become prolific in the economy.
