It has been revealed that LEGO is working with white hat leakers to identify vulnerabilities to prevent leaks of upcoming products. These white hat leakers are LEGO fans who previously leaked sets in the past but have had their accounts deleted by the LEGO Confidentiality team and are now helping to prevent future leaks.
One of the more popular announcements was the LEGO Pokemon theme and we were told that that white hat leakers worked tireless to prevent anyone from posting it early on Reddit, Discord, X, etc. It worked pretty much to perfection until LEGO Mexico hit the wrong button and managed to leak it themselves an hour or so early.
As we can see from this year, the leaks have been relatively quiet so it may seem that it’s been working although there were still some that pass by like with small retailers. It’s not perfect but LEGO is making a big effort to control the leaks.
