[Kamen Rider Die]

Depending on the size of the company and the amount of retail partners they have, there are a lot of potential leakers. If products have to be offered in stores, someone has to be told about them.

Like, we carry Transformers toys at my store, and a month or so ago we got a call from a rep so we could place orders for, basically, Hasbro's entire 2021 product line. Transformers, Marvel Legends, whatever. I did the Transformers order (my business partner did the Marvel stuff) and it was twenty minutes of finding out what every Kingdom wave would have in it. If I wanted to, I could've leaked that. I don't, because I don't want to burn our distributor, but that's how a leak could've occurred. (Similarly, a few Walmart employees spoiled a bunch of Kingdom stuff from the data in Walmart's system.)

That's one way, through stores and distributors. Someone at Bandai calls or emails a store and says Hey We Need Your Numbers For The SHF Kamen Rider Confidential That's Coming Out and then that store employee goes on the boards to say that Kamen Rider Confidential is getting a Figuarts.

There's also people working at a company in a sales department, an art department, licensing, manufacturing, etc. The more people involved in producing something, the more likely one of them wants to brag about what they know online.

Or folks just make it up, which is how you get incorrect leaks.
