Yes, I'm sure AFOLs are more aware of sales and hot deals and pay less
per brick than a casual LEGO shopper (exception: those who just pick
up 4496's at Wal-Mart; $14.88 for 1000 bricks is hard to beat).
On the other hand, AFOLs but orders of magnitude more sets and bricks
than a casual LEGO shopper, and also buys the high-end sets a casual
shopper will never see (because big retailers such as Wal-Mart and TRU
don't carry them) -- the 10152 Maersk ship, the Imperial Star Destroyer,
the entire Trains line. I would also guess that AFOLs buy most Mindstorms
sets, at least until recently with the FLL stuff getting rolling.
