When was the last time you bought a new set at regular price?

Well in the Netherlands you're usually lucky to find anything marked down more
than 10%. So I use lots of discount coupons, and try to buy bulk to get more
discount... doesn't always work though :-(

When LEGO comes out with good stuff, do you think "I can't wait
for the clearance sale!" -- but you wait, hoping to make a killing?

Depends.. if it's really cool I'll buy it straight away, can't wait very long
when I really want a set (bought most of the Desert Adventurer sets at almost
full price for instance)

Should LEGO pay attention to the AFOL market share when we are
such bottom feeders?

Some might be bottom feeders, other not. In all they should consider the AFOL
market, but perhaps take a different approach (Internet ordering only perhaps,
to reduce cost and easier reach the targeted market segment)
