I get 10% off, which is almost a joke. I was told that it is the same
discount given to a guy who bought a bunch of Mindstorms sets last Christmas
($20,000 worth), but feel it is a little cheap. After all, the mindstorms
units last Christmas were HOT! The tubs have been out for a year and a half
and usually don't move.
When I can find tubs for $16 or less, I buy all I can afford to the point of
maxing out my cards, which so far has always been more than the store can
even get close to covering. Unfortunately, I rarely find them for that
cheap with any kind of quantity.
