Collector or Builder

The Lego house picture has been demolished for parts. I bought the set because it’d been discounted pretty drastically and comes with a nice collection of pieces. But I just had to put it together once before I parted it out.

This marks somewhat of a departure for me. Over the last few years I’ve been getting my old sets back together again by buying any missing pieces from Bricklink. These sets are kept in separate bags and almost nothing could convince me to part them out.. But here I am deliberately breaking a set down into it’s pieces with no plans to keep it together as a set.

The collector in me isn’t sure that it’s a good idea. The builder in me says it is.

So am I a collector or a builder? If I am both, where does the collector stop and the builder begin?

Lol @ LittleSis. You can be both - most of those sorts of sets are called something like Creator sets, so they're for collecting AND building.
