Yes, he has the most views for Transformers content on YouTube and is already on influencer lists for these topics, which is why he also got a sneak peak by Paramount for their Rise of the Beasts unveiling.
Also, this isn't a stolen copy, and the toy isn't out, so there are less options as to how he may have gotten it.

I get that, but the other stuff is supposedly stolen. So, are we to believe he's legit with Hasbro who would have to have some inkling of how he's getting his stuff?

I think we have to take it as a case by case basis and just stick with the facts. let's not assume anything other than what we know.
Remember, so far, his legitmacy with new stuff is only linked to licenced content and he gets contacted by PR firms, so he's twice removed from Hasbro with this particular Lego set.
He probably gets similar e-mails to the ones we (Seibertron) gets. While we get official behind the scenes look at stuff, it isn't form Hasbro proper but from an independent PR company Hasbro's own marketting team outsourced. Some folks at Hasbro may be aware of what PVP does, but the third party PR firm is not. They are paid to get the most buzz for certain things and will do that assignment. If it means contacting PVP, then that's what they will do.
If you want, I can make it simple. If it's stuff others get at the same time, then odds are it's legit. If it's stuff no one else gets and there is no proper documentation (I.E. a box) then it isn't.

Have you ever contacted their PR team? Gotta be proactive about this sort of thing sometimes. Send them an email every time you upload a review, eventually they'll catch on. At my old job with Tomopop we would always send our review links to the companies that made them, even if they didn't send them to us. At our height we were even getting free stuff from BBTS and HLJ (which is how I got my TT Titan Metroplex). Then our sister site Destructoid got sold and we were shut down by the new parent company, I really miss those days.If you are a blogger and are interested in any of our Hasbro brands or products, please send your request in writing to hasbrobrandpr@hasbro.com.

I wrote it in news posts a few times now: there are no preorders.

See! It already happened without happening! I actually mistyped, I meant I'll probably miss out on the regular orders.

And by bed I mean go sit on the couch and watch dodgy renovation shows and play Pokemon Go until the sun comes up in an hour.

Heck no. Some people stayed up until midnight, I'm too old for that ****. I just got up at 4:30 because the old man bladder demanded it.

Which hopefully bodes well for future Lego Transformers projects.
