"Playing with the sets"?? *sets*??? I'm confused.
You mean you kept the individual bricks sorted by what set they came
in? Even when I was a kid, all a Lego set was to me was a parts pack.
I've always felt an obligation to build the set once, according to the
instructions, but usually I would tear it apart soon thereafter and
design my own thing. When I was done, I'd dump all the pieces into
the Lego Drawer (bottom drawer of my dresser), with the rest of my
collection.
Takes all kinds, I guess. But I think you're severely limiting your
options, if you only play with them as sets.
