Upcoming WBC Sale, Rounding Out My Commentary Collection, Need Suggestions

With the upcoming sale on WBC and the price increase to follow, I'm looking to acquire some volumes of the set. Based on what I've read and how Best Commentaries rates the set, it seems the quality varies quite a bit in this commentary set. So at this point I'm not sure if it'll be worth buying the entire set versus picking up 20-30 volumes for $9.99 each. It cheaper anyways to buy 62 volumes at $9.99 each versus $664.95 for the set.

I'm just an average person that takes my Bible study very seriously. So my question is what is everyone planning to pick up in this sale and what would your recommendation be for volumes worth picking up. For reference here are the big commentary sets I already own:

NICOT/NICNT (missing only Psalms, Judges, and the revised Corinthians volume)

NIVAC

NIGTC

TOTC/TNTC

NAC

PNTC

Based on Best Commentaries I plan on getting the 20 volumes rated as first or second best for each book. Beyond that I'm not sure if I should pick up other volumes during this sale.

I will have to wait to see what the sale actually looks like.

I saw that. But those volumes aren't as high on my priority list to get just yet so I'm saving my budget for the WBC volumes.

The advantage of getting the set is tied to the library concept of Logos. But if you want to cherry pick that's just fine. WBC is not, by any great stretch, the benchmark that NIC seems to be. It's nice to be able to look at what others reference in WBC, but not essential for the average pastor.
