Me too!

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 collective.

I can't bring myself to either unless I have duplicate sets!  I also feel
better knowing I'm not the only one.

I am finding something with this practice though... My piece count might
be high, though what I have to build with is low :( Though I still can't
bring myself to do it.. I don't know what I'm 'saving' these sets for
though..

I know exactly what you mean.  If I could bring myself to mix everything
together I bet I could build a lot more.  The awful thing is that I HAVE raided
a few of those "preserved" sets when I have been desperate for certain parts
and then forgotten which sets I've got them from-- so now I have no guarantee
that my complete sets really are complete!

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.
