It all depends on how badly you want the sets.
If any of them are rare or have badly needed pieces, then 25% off is fine.
If you just want to bulk up your collection, then I would definitely hold
out. Check out some of the deals on the lugnet.publish group. For
instance, I got Night Lords Castle for only $24 at kbkids when it is usually
$89! There are all sorts of outrageous deals like that if you just keep on
top of things. Also, LEGO shop-at-home usually has items 50% off each week.
If I was really going to bulk up, I'd wait for 50% or more off, if you can.

| A Kmart near my house has a ton of Lego on a clearance shell at 25% off. Is this a good enough discount to buy up a lot of 'em? 0r should I hold out for more? Walmart usually goes 50%, sometimes more, but right now they don't have any sets I want. (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
