done by The Lego Company

how is that not completely transparent at this point? it's a ridiculous pattern, over and over. Lego controls the narrative on all stages.

if it was a "real" LEAK it would be like, the full minifig being sold on eBay for $20,000 that somebody snuck out of the factory, a year in advance.

I don't think you are in the minority that does not, but the majority that does not. But that is the point of marketing high value sets for niche properties. The fan bases are relatively limited so they aim to go for smaller numbers of high value sets rather than larger numbers of low value sets. I read somewhere that the audience for Spongebob is about 25% 18-34 year old without kids, with likely similar numbers of other adults with kids. They could aim sets at children but that would mean more small sets need to be sold and they could also cannibalise sales of their other sets aimed at kids. So they aim for high value sales to a minority of adults.

Thanks, I think Tan fits along all the other sands like blue and green, while Dark Tan feels like the yellow equivalent of the Dark/Earth/Metru colors.
Maybe in that case the "sand" version of orange would be medium orange? (though may not have that much visual similarity, otherwisew was just being discontinued by the year 2000)
I think there was some chart that put Brown/Reddish Brown (let's assume they are the same) as Dark Earth Orange or something

There is a real dark yellow color (picrel) but it got used for jack shit outside of duplo (shame) since it’s a rather nice color and would fit yellow terracotta perfectly, also some of the browns are internally classified as shades of orange

I wonder which would have looked better for an Av-Metru, the dark tan or this literal dark yellow. Little hypotheticals are fun to think over but I feel the dark tan fits more for Po vs anything as a complimentary color.

Ok well whatever. Even if we want to schiz-out, my point is the same. Whoever slapped the image together (whether it’s a leaker or two Lego marketers in a leaker’s trench coat) probably just lifted the first logo they found on the dragon ball wiki.
The use of this logo (which was, again, from a mid-90s English dub) doesn’t necessarily signify this is going to be an OG dragon ball set. It’s absolutely going to be DBZ, because that’s where the biggest millennial childfree yuppie nostalgiab8 market is.

that's why they did Star Trek TNG instead of Original Kirk/Spock. it clearly makes sense that the orange-uniform Saiyan Goku is 1000% more recognizable than kid-Goku

this is a good lesson for the future, for one of us (which one? I don't know! lol) given that the leak patterns appear to be consistent. the pro-leak-employee may be using assets given to them by the art department, or they may be tasked with goggling them. my opinion is that they need to manage expectations, and use the correct logo to match the product, but it is entirely possible that they don't know any better, and just think "what? it's DragonBall, right? is there a difference?"

Av-Matoran having the multi color gimmick is a good thing imo because it allows for more unique color combos you'd normally not associate with a specific Metru/Koro (ie Takua's blue and red). Shame they just did basic colorations for the ones we got in 2008.

Oh that looks nice. I was mostly focusing on colors that are in circulation today

Thinking it that way it seems way more orderly. Though some of the purples and oranges seem to be wherever was space,
BTW, one criteria I had, is that during the 2000s through the 2010s, basic brick buckets went from having the primordial Red, Blue, Yellow and Green (plus Black and White), to adding Md. Blue, Lime, Dk. Purple and Orange. At times pink too (either trough dark or pink, but maybe a latter one had both)
So it went down to
>Standard Color
>Color in the same hue but distinct enough (along some historical precedent)
>Dark/Earth
>Sand
>Some other hue
And I may add
>Yet another hue ??? (no particular criteria)
>Very Light/Bright Light hue (maybe BL Orange should go here, I feel it's more prominent than the other BL colors which is why I first put it above)
>Neon (this category is far too new)

For the green leftovers, maybe it would work with making a new collumn for lime. Maybe with Bright Green taking the place below green as it long hsa been used for accessories and baseplates before seeing some usage in bricks in the last years

I don’t understand. These aren’t particularly glossy images. It’s almost always text on a black background usually with a generic, badly cropped (sometimes unofficial) image around which the text is haphazardly wrapped.
What about this screams “professional” to you?

You’re either retarded or outing yourself as a “leaker” Lego insider. “Leaks” follow a set predicable pattern and it is exhausting. If they hated the “leaks” they wouldn’t do it with the same 4 percent Gaussian blur every time.
Actual leaks get shut down hard because companies love to control their own advertising and branding. Look at that guy that got the Pinkertons on his ass by wizards of the coast. If there were any real leaks they could easily track it down. I bet Lego has the best nanny software installed on every company machine and they know what get saved when by who.

Foolish Gweilo. Only through the study of the way the Wuxing of Black White Blue Red Yellow ramificates into the greater palette, phasing through the deceptions of newer colors, can you then cultivate Lego mastery.

Is the pattern literally just “leak released X months before set, more details formalized as set’s release date nears”? Couldn’t your expertly recognized pattern also apply to genuine leaks?
And if Lego is so chill about leaks, why do they issue cease and desists or DMCAs or whatever else, or why do they penalize and cut off Lego influences who dabble in leaks? Even people like what’s his name (the guy who whines endlessly about clones), guys who aren’t actually formally affiliated with lego and can’t even lose partner status, are terrified of including leaked images in their videos.

Why is anyone surprised or even that mad that shills dump leaks and shit? It is par for the course when they also do shit like send free sets to LAN "influencers" to glaze the new sets, and pay off journalists to hype up shit like the shartbrick sets. They pump so much money and resources into this that some rando dropping images 6 months out feels like nothing.

There’s clearly nothing I can say that’ll convince you. It’s been repeated here many times and I’m too lazy to look it up or half hazardously retype it again.
Prove it. Someone post a leak that isn’t already reposted on Reddit or some wall of “rumored” sets.
Last time we got even close was the deku tree and even that still followed the same pattern.

that's exactly why you can tell it's a real employee who constantly doesn't get lawyer'd-up

I did it once before, so I'll try to do it quick it again, but the pattern is so consistent you could put a calendar to it, if you cared to measure it.
1: code-name {might be ___!}
2: theme reveal! (maybe -rumor- lol)
3: list of set numbers, future release estimate
4: list of set numbers with piece counts, maybe minifig list, release date known
5: blurry images! (crazy blur!!)
6: corporate desk with one or two new pieces (this part is recent) very crisp pics
7: slightly-less blur images? maybe some kind of event photos?
8: official images released to news press, this is the diversity-caveman studio apartment clear pics
9: release date (Month) 1

I might have missed a step, but it's been constant for about a dozen years at this point

>>11728811
>Why is anyone surprised or even that mad that shills dump leaks and shit?
this is going to sound "corporate" but whatever. with the decline of standard television and magazines and stuff, modern society is desperate to figure out what counts as "advertising" and... we get what we get

Dude, I’m not invested one way or the other on the LQ (leaker question). Right now, my position is that it’s unlikely these leaks come from a formal, authorized shill as part of an ongoing marketing campaign.
On the other hand, you seem deeply (even emotionally) invested in your position. This anti-leak campaign appears to be a not insignificant aspect of your personality. It seems, at least from where I’m standing, you’re far more dug into your position than I am. I’d also note that you’ve positioned Lego as both skillfully Machiavellian and completely bumbling at the same time, and you flit between these positions to explain away evidence that ought to run counter to your view — all roads lead to Rome, for you.
These could be formal, sanctioned leaks, I genuinely don’t know, but there’s enough contra-indicative evidence to suggest otherwise. But I’m open to your position, I’m just not convinced by “muh patterns.”
>>11728826
>vague leaks become clearer and more detailed as release date nears
Is this not exactly what we’d expect in either case? I don’t see this as evidence for either position.

my apologies. I've been told before that my emails read as if I'm angry while typing them. not sure how to stop that though, (I think it's because I tend to over-explain things. like this explanation, for example! lol)

but ultimately, I don't care. I actually like "playing the game" somewhat. I do like the recent upgrade to corporate desk-photo, it seems more like a real thing that would be leaked.

and I'm not closed to thinking they might not be genuine "leaks" either. but the patterns are so obvious at this point, I feel the odds are very low.
