Lego Stores and Lego.con always sell MSRP with only a few exceptions like discontinued items. Something like 20% off the Batcave is a once in a lifetime event, only happening on Black Friday and May 4th.
I was given the reasoning that Lego would be unfair to give price reductions to their own items in their own stores as normal stores couldn't go as low as Lego. But that ignores that all major storechains go below Legos own prices on most products, and of course I was told this by people on Lego Forums so they might just be talking out of their ass.
I think Lego just got wise to the fact that they will always sell out and never sit on items for years like for example Hasbro Actionfigures, so they just keep everything at full price because it will move any way.
I am curious of which citys store you are talking about, Lego should always charge the same price as on S@H for current products, there is nothing like mark up for one day or can you give examples of specific sets?
The other chains are always forced to give discounts when the prices are too high. Like for example the First Order Snowspeeder that is 50€ normally and 35€ on Amazon constantly because 50€is ridicolously overpriced for what amounts to the size of a 25€ set just 3 years ago.
If you want good deals, Galeria Kaufhof has discounts every Sunday. Nearly every week there is a Lego discount in the range of 10 to 20% for either the whole range or specific themes and when you have Payback you can get another 10% discount on top of that on some days. Especially useful for the few huge sets they have like UCS Slave One and Modular Houses. I got the SW Advent Calendar there for 23€, ordered a dozen, sold all the models and most of the Lukes, Wookiees and Protocol Droids and could keep the 72 soldiers for myself for like 20€.
