Do LL Bean backpacks go on sale?

Some of the new patterns are online now but I guess the rest will be posted by mid-July. Do they ever have sales or deals on their backpacks & lunch boxes?

I think they do usually go on sale sometime in the fall. However, last year I ended up ordering full price because I needed them in August and they didn't go on sale by then. Some credit cards offer price protection so if they go on sale within a certain period of time, you can get back the difference.
