Price Per Piece savings off of $75 dollars to qualify for the promotion =
35%!!!
Formula for this is:
Take Estimated Average Cents Per Piece (CPP) for the $75 or more set, of 0.10 CPP = 750 pieces for $75 dollars.
-----$75 dollars / .10 CPP = 750 Pieces
Add the Quantity of Bricks Collected in the Holiday PAB Box to the 750 pieces above.
-----750 Pieces + 407 Pieces = 1157 Pieces
Take new total number of bricks and find Price Per Piece (PPP):
-----($75/1157 pieces=0.0648, or 6.5 cents per piece)
Take Original PPP and subtract New PPP and you get the difference in savings:
-----10 CPP - 6.5 CPP = 3.5 CPP Savings!!! =
35% Price Per Piece Discount!
Of course sometimes you'll be spending more than
exactly $75 dollars, but as a Best Case Scenario, this is the type of savings on a Cents Per Piece basis you can expect; if your good about properly packing your PAB Box!

I really do think that if you are the type who builds your own creations, and wants to expand your collection to have more freedom to build what you want, when you want, I think that the Holiday Pick-A-Brick box option is a really good one if you consider the additional value that you get
on top of buying your presents on Black Friday with the opportunity to get at least 10% off your entire shopping order as well as 1 pick a brick box for every $75 dollars spent!
