What do you do with your LEGO sets?
I recently got some of the new LEGO Indiana Jones sets. I assembled them and played around with them, but I'm wondering if I should take them apart and build new stuff with them now, or keep the assembled?

I mostly build them and then i kinda collect/play with 'em.
The only time i took a set apart was to make a MOC to a school contest (who doesn't remember Metal Gear FOX?) that had prizes. I won the 2nd place.

My record shortest time for keeping a set together was about 5 minutes. It was a Naboo starfighter I asked for for Manly Santa Day specifically for parts.
The set I kept together for longest was the old Republic Gunship. By the end of its life it had been modified so much that only the basic framework was carried over from the original model.

for me it denpends on the set if I really like it I keep it otgether, but almost always I end up using it for a moc or something. The really big sets are ussually first to go, cause of the volume of pieces.

After I buy a set, I keep it together until I buy another one. Then I take apart the first set and use it for parts. This way, I always have at least one set that's built. If I want to use it, I just go out and buy a new one.

Yeah, I always build whatever it is, and then tear it to pieces. Half the pieces or so from any set will go into the creation of a brand-spanking new unit for one of my armies, and the other half go into the bins where they get used later in creations.
