Do we even have a reveal date leaked yet? I mean aside from the leak from the greek shop, the HP leak we got now is the usual "short before reveal" leak, which is said to be tomorrow.

No. Just estimates that it will be mid may.

The shire last year:

Box leak - March 8th
Full reveal - March 25th
Release - April 2nd

So it was only revealed a week before the release!
(which I still think is crazy, and means another 3 weeks for Minas Tirith reveal)

I hope we get it before then, an official reveal with a few weeks to plan would be way better than last year.

Why still keep us waiting? It already unofficially leaked already, weeks ago.

To keep attention on May the 4th promotions and the summer playset reveals. Lego staggers their reveals to ensure they get as much solo attention as possible.

I do think things might come as early as next week with June 1 playset reveals happening today and tomorrow.

That is a bit different - March 25 is Tolkien Reading Day, and they wanted to lean into that. Barad-Dur was revealed on the 14th of May.
