Forgottenlore 9,784 Posted August 17, 2015 So, someone on here posted some pictures of products that FFG apparently isn't allowed to show anyone yet. They immediately deleted the thread, and then deleted some more threads trying to show the pictures and again.... I don't know how many threads have been deleted so far, but it has been several. Basically, FFG could get in trouble if a leak like that occurred on their website, so everyone should probably calm down a bit and not try and post those pictures here. Apparently they are popping up elsewhere, but keep them off FFG's site until they are allowed to show them. We don't want anything to happen to FFG or their SW license, after all. 66 VanorDM, sinclair5150, Rhoaran and 63 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macar 408 Posted August 17, 2015 Yea, unfortunate. I would assume whoever got the leak is probably already in trouble or soon will be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radarman5 1,347 Posted August 17, 2015 There's some pics on facebook. After they first couple links went down I came to the same decision as Forgottennlore, it's probably for the best to not post them, so Disney doesn't take it out on FFG. That would be bad. 1 Plainsman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forgottenlore 9,784 Posted August 17, 2015 Yea, unfortunate. I would assume whoever got the leak is probably already in trouble or soon will be. Don't know if he is in any trouble where he works, but I PMed him and he said his posts are now being moderated. I'm also guessing that checking his posts and approving them are not high on the moderators list of things to do right now. 3 TasteTheRainbow, HaakonX and Plainsman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toqtamish 3,643 Posted August 17, 2015 It's all over Facebook. It it was pretty unrealistic of Disney to believe they could keep it under wraps for so long. Stuff has been leaking for toys etc for a while now. 3 stegocent, Vigil and Plainsman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhantomFO 8,668 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure how this could possibly have been expected to stay under wraps until September 4th if it was also scheduled for release on that date, and Disney is foolish if they believed otherwise. That's a level of optimism that cannot be sustained based on everything everyone on the planet should know about the nature of humans on the internet. Better to just give us the official news release today.

Stuff has been leaking for toys etc for a while now. Doesn't change the fact that if FFG is legally obligated to try and stop such leaks, they are going to keep deleting the pics. I just hope the fact that they were posted here first doesn't get them in trouble. 8 Lombardus, Sithborg, Stoneface and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krynn007 2,445 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) In todays day I'm age I don't think they'll get in trouble So long as they do their best to contain it, that's all they can do We are an age where everyone has a phone in their pocket and connected to the Internet. Nothing is a secret anymore You'd be pretty ignorant to think any different. Then again Disney Is pretty ignorant imo Edited August 17, 2015 by Krynn007 1 stegocent reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toqtamish 3,643 Posted August 17, 2015 They're not gonna get in trouble. Ffg did nothing wrong. Other than listen to Disney. They are doing what they need to do. Disney on the other hand needs to wake up and smell the wifi. Their D23 convention this weekend was the perfect time to officially announce all the products. They wasted that opportunity. 1 stegocent reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lombardus 8 Posted August 17, 2015 Agreed with ForgottenLore. Out of respect for the company that brought us all here together, we shouldn't post the images on these forums. Whether we agree that it was impossible to hide the news or not is beside the point with regard to any legal action that may be taken against FFG. 7 Corellian Corvette, Stoneface, nathankc and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vorpal Sword 14,685 Posted August 17, 2015 FFG needs to be able to demonstrate, if and when asked, that they made an effort in good faith to keep the embargo in place. Prompt and thorough moderation ought to meet that standard, so I suspect they'll be fine. 8 stegocent, 433, Hobojebus and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TasteTheRainbow 8,176 Posted August 17, 2015 Is there a date for toy-makers to advertise their products or are 100% of Ep 7 toys supposed to be sold blind to lines of people that theoretically don't have any idea what they're about to purchase?
