You've never shared any other leaked photos or information about upcoming sets? Besides, your photo shop doesn't need to be so good it fools people at LEGO, it only needs to be good enough to fool all the morons on the internet (of which there are plenty) that will bombard LEGO and their employees with questions.

I mean this respectfully, but it'd be a cold day in hell that I'd produce one of your IDEAS submissions if I was in charge at LEGO. Plus, they are a private company, they can do whatever they want with your account on the IDEAS website.

(As someone who has done website stuff .. in fact setting up some test vms on azure right now for work .. security is a sensitive topic. Just because they don't properly secure their image folders doesn't mean they appreciate people scraping them.)

You're completely right! It's just that... why now? Why not months ago? Or a year. It's this particular incident I believe and I think we got some more confirmation on this rumor out of it. 

(If they want me to stop posting leaks or sharing stuff from other sites then that's it. I'm done. I've been meaning to anyway! They did it, they win! I quit.)

Well that I have no idea .. we know from experience that some of what they do makes no sense at all (10188 for instance).

Here, I took the liberty of whipping up the next big fake leak photo for you... I literally just finished it.

Post it on Facebook as "a sketch of the box" and people will flip

I told you a couple of months ago that they were onto you.  They just needed that time to get concrete proof before nuking you

Now that´s obviously a fake because there are 2 "N" in Millennium.

It seems like quite the extreme thing to do for a fake image you posted for sure.  What gets me in this whole situation, is why is this particular 'leak' so serious, when there have been so many numerous leaks before this?

It further begs the question, after all these years, not including just you, why is it that Lego appears to FINALLY care about plugging up the leaks?

I think the scarier thing about this whole situation, is that they seem to care more about leaks, then 'those who shall not be named' ripping Lego off...

It's not just about all leaks In my opinion is just about this one in particular, because new Millennium is going to be one of the most important projects in last decade and I believe they paid enough attention to keep things about this project concealed. When someone is faking picture in such proffessional way and people outside and not only are raising the questions that is starting raising the questions as well among executives and designers in TLG. especially if the faked project is very close to the final design because most of us believe it's gonna be refreshed version of the old design with actual interior and upgraded dish to match the TFA version.

That's my understanding of it... they didn't give me a reason other than I was "caught sharing confidential information belonging to The LEGO Group" and this happened the day before. I also shared the London Bus images that were on LEGOs cache an hour  before they announced it but that's too narrow a window IMO. Still waiting on a response from Kim, the employee.

So for the sake of clarity, I may be overly blunt with my words but I'm not actually saying you did anything truly awful. If I use the word Steal or Crime here I don't actually care if it's a Crime, I'm just using it to differentiate from your "prank" and your "crime".

Please correct me if I'm wrong in my reading, but it sounds like you did 2 things.

1) A fun Photoshop Prank of the Falcon, and

2) You stole their IP and distributed it without their permission re: the London bus

 

Then they banned you for the Crime, told you it was for the crime you admit you did, but you think that's actually validation that your unrelated prank was real only because they couldn't have had enough time to realize they were punishing you for the crime you did and they correctly identified you as doing?

Does your box mean we are getting a new OT star destroyer like the DS for the falcon.

Ha ha...  

Yeah I just thought I would share that cause it seemed newsworthy to me that I might've caused a LEGO employee to confirm the Falcon.

Back to no news! 

Lots of drama

No and even if I did I wouldn't say cause I'm done leaking!!! 

It is odd to me there are no news about them yet.

Regarding the Brickset.com image, I read on another site it's the Bricklist note from LEGO designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer.

Unfortunately Brickset is down for me at the moment, so I can't pull up a list with all LEGO sets he worked on. But this is really interesting news! Very very excited!!!

Okay, I Googled his name... Apparently he designed last year's 75098 - Assault on Hoth:

And 75060 - Slave 1:

-----------------------

(edit.... Brickset is up again, so the Bricklist of the sets he designed is here: https://brickset.com/sets/list-14074 )

 

Edited July 19, 20178 yr by Haay

He is the guy being chased by the man with the animated mouth in the intro sequence @ 0.02. Assume those 2 guys are the co designers and that will be the next video. Ninjago City be presented soon too  so just be careful they didn´t do that set!
