Advice on starting a novice collection for my boys

Hi all! I was wondering if I could get a little bit of advice on Lego collecting. My two oldest boys (ages 4 and 5) love Legos, and while they are not collectors, I was wondering if as a parent I should be buying an occasional set here and there to put away for them when they're older. I'm not wanting to invest an exuberant amount of money on them, but thought it would be nice for them to have some older MIP sets when they're grown. What do you think about the polybags as a "starter" for their collection? I was thinking of picking up a couple here and there and saving them. Do they maintain collectability? And which ones are a good place to start? I was thinking of the Lego movie sets and some of the marvel exclusives? Tips and advice would be much appreciated. :) Thanks!
