I've made collages with all sorts of ads, and I'm sure it was illegal. I've never sold them, though, so I suppose I'm not in any danger.
It is illegal if you're going to make a profit.

It depends if they are in the public domain or not. Also, are you planning on selling the collages? If so, you may be in violation of copyright/trademark laws if these properties are not in the public domain. If you are considering a commercial venture you should consult a copyright/trademark lawyer. The first 30-60 minutes should be free.
Good Luck.

So long as you're not using them to make a profit.

They are copyright protected. If caught, you can be prosecuted.
