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.

I feel that publicising leaks is most definitely in TLGs best interests. If we can find stuff then it means their competitors can do the same if they’re interested. Security by obsfucation has never been successful and is unlikely to ever be so.

Claiming in my name that leaks are a bad thing is definitely not something I want.
