Is this something TLG is concerned about or something AFOLs are concerned
about? Personally, I’ll take all the information (leaked or otherwise) I can
get.

To answer your question: Leaks are an issue that TLG is concerned about. The
Ambassadors also felt that this should be listed as an issue in the best
interest of their business, as well as for the fans. As Lenny pointed out in
another thread, LEGO competitors can seize opportunities for set/theme design
ideas, and we don’t want that to happen.
Also, it’s great when LEGO can bring forth a set that has not been leaked - Cafe
Corner, Market Street, and the UCS Millennium Falcon, to name a few - to the
fans. Some fansites feel differently; they want to know all of the sets/themes
that TLG will offer in the year(s) to come, and scour through TLG servers to get
images/info. Surely, this is not in the best interest of TLG, nor of the fans,
is it? If you feel otherwise, please elaborate and the Ambassadors will discuss
your concerns to see if the issue should be removed from the list.

| (...) Well, what kind of leaks are you talking about? Someone bugging the offices in Billund and divulging the plans for 2011 - well that's not good. But posting images from a dealer catalog? What's the harm in that? And I'm not really sure what's (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
