I agree with BD: the collectible items are usually normal production 
items made in low numbers, with special features, for special customers 
(works cameras, military cameras), as one-off tests, or with special 
(low or "unique") serial numbers.

I think they should rename the special edition "collectible" cameras 
and lenses.  A much more apt description is "hoardable".

    "Do you collect Leicas?"

    "No, I just hoard special editions."

Normal Leica cameras and lenses are "stashable", as in "I bought a s/h 
Noctilux today to add to my stash".
