Depends on the set - if it's Model Team, 25% off is usually great. If it's
Town Jr., forget it (they are often passable even at 50% off).

TRU has been pretty lame lately re: clearances. Multiple local stores have
had Time Cruisers sets for about 15% off sitting on the clearance shelf for
about a year, along with some other sets at a similar discount. As I am fond
of complaining to my wife, "Other stores have clearances like TRU does,
except they have higher discounts, apply to all the LEGO sets (usually),
and they call 'em `sales`". :/

| 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. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
