A Question Regarding Sets

Hello all,

I have always wondered the following regarding what other people do with their
sets:

If you have a set, do you keep all of it's pieces together and not use them for
other things, or do you just mix all the parts in with your other pieces and
know you have the set because you have the instructions?

Personally, I keep all my sets together(not built, but all the original parts
with each other) and build only with parts that are either from duplicate sets
or are pieces that I bought from Brickbay or something.  Perhaps this is a
stupid thing to wonder, but I've always been curious what others do.

I basically do the same as you, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! Some tell me that all Lego should be played with, though if I've only got 1 of a set, I can't mix it with my collection... only duplicates of a set get assimilated into the (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) When I purchase Lego sets, I build the sets once, then immediately disassemble them, sort the pieces according to my storage system, and then add the pieces to my storage containers. All pieces from all sets get assimilated into my collection (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Mainly because I am (until recently) not a double buyer, I've ALWAYS mixed my sets together. Everything I've ever gotten is all mixed in with everything else. Only within the last year have I doubled up on sets. I know I have at least ONE copy (...) (23 years ago, 30-May-01, to lugnet.general)
