When you buy a set for parts (or multiple copies of it) do you always build at
least one of the actual model? I may have just bought too many sets in the
last few weeks, but I don't really feel like building a 4561 (much less 4 of
them, although all the coaches together might be entertaining), or the R2D2
droid, or a couple of technic cars...

| (...) I never buy things for the sets -- all of the purchases are for parts. That said, I usually do put together the set first thing, partly as a sort of Lego Ritual. With a lot of technic stuff, I'm glad that I do -- I often learn interesting (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

| Let me tell you how it works with us younger modelers... whenever I but a Lego set, I ALWAYS build the first (main) model in the instructions, even if it's some small useless set. It simply interestsme to see how all the parts are working together, (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
