For me it depends on the set. For sets I really like, I'll build them for a
while, but I usually can't wait to cannibalize them for parts.
A lot of times, I dislike the set and am just buying it (often many copies)
for parts.
For example, I have 12 droid escapes, but have never built the main model.
I love this set for parts, but the actual model is pretty cheesy.
