Prices have been steadily declining since the set dropped. I cracked 14, including a foil Windswept Heath , a playset of Polluted Delta and another of Flooded Strand . My question is would you be looking to move these now (or is it too late), buy more since the prices are so low, or just sit on them and be patient? I usually take the long view so I don't mind waiting a few years to move them, which I think is probably the right move.

Yeah, I think they'll likely go down or stay the same short term, and long term they'll go up maybe 5-6 months after they rotate out.

In the short term they might lose another $3 or maybe $4 - but there's nothing to get too excited about. You could sell now and then try to make around $15 back per playset when you buy them for cheaper later - but it's a hefty risk for very small gain. It was estimated that prices would reach their minimum point by Christmas, however this set has been opened very quickly (because its a great set!) which means the prices seem to have settled more quickly than they usually do. We might not see any more large decline at all. My personal view is that it's not really worth the risk to try and make something like $15 per playset. It's a bit 'meh'.
In the very long term its reasonable to assume they'll go further than $50 each.

Fetches for other fetches or Thoughtseize are probably the only trades that make sense in terms of value in the long run.
If you only play Standard I think it's okay to sell or trade for need. They aren't going up anytime soon.

If you do decide to trade the FOIL Windswept Heath check my trade thread, I have regular Fetch Land's to trade as well as Planeswalkers and FOIL Clever Impersonator among others.

Well you could sell your non-foils, buy more in a few weeks once they decline more. The more that pop out of packs and the more people don't need them the more they will decline the rest of the year probably, at least next few weeks-2 months almost surely. Then at some point hoard them for post rotation increase.
