Does anyone know if the winter sets usually go on sale/discounted after Christmas?

Define "winter sets". Advent calendars tend to get heavily discounted after Christmas. Last year I scooped up the 2011 SW advent calendar in February for something like 50% off or more.

The Winter Village sets always get discounted at the LEGO store (and probably on LEGO.com as well) after Christmas.

That's great! Thanks. Now if only they were available instead if SOLD OUT. Will they still be offered throughout the year? Or once it's sold out by Christmas then it's done until next year?

^ If you can catch them at the store I would say you can probably get them at a discount (nothing major though). As they are sold out online there won't be a sale online (and if there is it's a joke as there's none available for sale... LEGO tends to do that from time to time).

The Winter Village Post Office that came out last year around holiday season was put on discount on Boxing Day. I picked one up for myself last year in-store. Think it was 20% off regular price.

Day after Christmas.

Thought about making you google it, but the holiday spirit got the better of me

Lol that's funny. I had the same question. Hopefully there will be good deals on that day. :)

Nope. Had to google it. Haha.
I saw last year someone posted all the items that will be on sale at the lego store on Boxing Day. Will we get some type of information like that again this year?

Save your receipt, buy again when its on clearance, then return. I have done that in the past :)

Actually the U.S. has its own version of Boxing Day. It's the day after Christmas when families get totally drunk because they didn't get what they wanted under the tree and then beat the crud out of each other. :lol:

If you google lego store Boxing Day it shows an announcement for a sale, but only for Canadian stores. Is there another announcement or something similar for US stores?

We will reveal the sales list on Sunday, December 23rd. Please check the forums on that day.

For your reference, here is last year's "Up to 75% off" sale.

SOME of us just take what we didn't want back to the store, wait six hours at customer service rather than spend time with our families, and then use the return credit to buy what we actually DID want at half off.
