what do you mean?

- There was a lot of talk on this board around Black Friday about how the promotions and sales did not seem as good as in the past. I was not purchasing directly from LEGO back in 2011, but it seemed to be the general belief

- TLG has posted really good numbers recently putting them just behind or just ahead (depending on which report you read) of Mattel.

My theory is that if something isn't broken, why fix it?

I'll probably purchase several different Lego star wars combinations to make it over 75 each time and get several promotional figures. Thats what I do most years.

In the past I've seen between 10% and 25% off some sets but mostly 10%. I don't remember anything phenomenal.

If you are on their mailing list, you should receive the occasional 10% off coupon, so at minimum you have 10%. Depending on what state you reside in, that could end up being a wash when sales tax is applied...
