EDIT [End of October 2015]
There is not going to be a another IKEA kitchen sale, ever [likely]. The first kitchen sale of the new system - SEKTION - that they did was so overwhelming and IKEA was so understocked that I was hunting for missing pieces of for 8 weeks following the initial purchase. People were furious, renovations were scheduled....babies were born to incomplete kitchens....It was a disaster.
There are still certain doors/drawer fronts that are are out of stock - continuously. What can you do? You just wait for them to show up and quickly snatch what you need....
IKEA....I love you.

They did it!
They DID IT!
IKEA does their second annual kitchen event!
2 things:
A] Right before Christmas....smooth move...Who in the right mind will renovate their kitchen 2 weeks before Christmas? How are you gonna secure a trade, like plumber? or an electrician? or even a kitchen installer?
B] it's a short sucker only till January 11, 2016. Timing it such as they did means that it will be an underwhelming one - no big sell outs, no running out of stock like last time. Unless the plan is that people will pre-purchase their kitchens for the January/February season.....that could be a strategy here....
