Really depends on what floats your boat in this collecting world.
For me, the answer is absolutely no. I look at my favorite games that I love to "play" in my collection (Johnny, WOZ, Taxi, RS) and the themes are very *meh* in my eyes.
I owned and loved IM for a long time... honestly, that theme does nothing for me.
I like the game aspect of my pins... theme is really neither here nor there.
Quoted from Dkjimbo:Theme matters quite a bit!
Look at Mustang....considered a great game - great tournament play, innovative code and strategy, etc...yet very few want one or own one...only reason for that is theme...
Look at BTTF or TMNT...both are very bland games - one trick pony shots, light on code, light on features BUT prices have been skyrocketing and you can't find either one....only reason for that is theme...
Mustang is a great game example of theme not mattering. Game is a total blast to play... and playing is what pins are meant for!
