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.

LEGO has gone to their history books and have unearthed something called LEGO Project Hair. Back in 1975, the original LEGO minifigures were released with no arms or facial expressions. The higher ups at LEGO wanted more realistic features on the minifigures.

LEGO designer Vittig Hed started up Project Hair in which LEGO would put syntheic hair on minifigures. Unfortunately it didn’t test well in focus groups and it was archived. That is until a few years later when Project Hair was rediscovered during LEGO’s renovation.

LEGO was set to work on it again until 1978 rolled around and the LEGO Space theme was introduced. The release pretty much ended any hopes of Project Hair for good and it was never heard about again until today.

LEGO has announced that the LEGO Ideas Second 2024 Review is now complete and they will be announcing the winner(s) tomorrow. There are 35 projects that are in the running to become an official LEGO Ideas set in the near future. All of them are worthy to be a set but there are some standouts that I think could win but this depends on whether LEGO sees it the same way according to their criteria.
