Is there anything magical about figurines?

Many of us read that buying figurines such as the three-legged toad would immediately `grant' us luck and wealth.
In my opinion:-
1. Buying such objects are just like buying any ordinary items or objects to decorate the house.
If you really love the shape and design of the object, buy it to decorate your house.
2. These objects does not have magical powers.
3. It is worth the while, saving the money for a rainy day or think of your child and instead, place the money in your child's piggy bank. At least, you are investing in your child's future.
4. For those who go out and purchase it with your credit card, and now having mounting bills, is it worth the while?
5. For myself, I sometimes collect lovely pieces of Chinese porcelain figurines. But it is also a hobby and there is certainly no magical powers associated with them. I love looking at them, once a while:)
