Lego really wants to keep their new products in secret.
I understand it though, this has been posted on BrickShelf and EuroBricks, etc. so if we wan't to go along I think it has to happen here too.

That's kinda old news, and for the most part we delete any watermarked images, anyway.

It is, but I have to say that I kind of understand LEGO's reasoning behind why they want to keep all of their projects and sets under wraps so militantly. I mean just look at the CMFs. As soon as LEGO put that out, MEGA BLOCKS introduced the $2 Halo figurine in essentially the exact same packaging.

Its a big competitor for Lego. I never see Halo Figures instock whenever I pass the Mega Bloks section. Mega Bloks took their best selling line (Halo Wars) and made it into figures to compete with Lego.

Their Halo Wars sets compete with Lego Star Wars. Big boxes, little contents, similar pricing. Just like Lego. Can't believe they copy so much.

I really don't think that can be considered copying as much as competing. If they were to come out with an underwater theme that was red, or a theme of brightly colored ninjas then yeah, I'd agree - but HALO and Star Wars are pretty distinguishable from each other.

I think it's funny how they are competing companies and yet the way they top eachother is by raising their prices instead of lowering them.
