Ben’s Missing Stash Exposes Lego’s Dark Side
$200,000 gone. That's what Bryan Mansell and his dad are facing after consigning their valuable Lego Star Wars collection to a Bricks & Minifigs store in Salem, Oregon - it's a mess that's still unfolding, with the Mansells alleging that the new owners, Brandon Best and Joshua Johnson, had effectively stolen their collection, and now Reckless Ben is on the case, digging into the details of the store's franchising agreement termination by Bricks & Minifigs Franchising and the subsequent repossession of the remaining inventory. Not good.
It's about the real feel of the situation. BAMF knew. They had to. Former owners Chrystal Law and Benjamin Gorman said they told them, showing security footage for proof. You'll notice they've got a strong case, with evidence backing them up. The controversy started when BAMF and the new owners said they didn't have the collection, which is worth mentioning, it's a key point in the whole The Lego Scandal: Reckless Ben vs. Bricks & Minifigs Unfolds debacle, for those who've been following the story, it's clear that honesty is a major issue here, with BAMF's actions being questioned by many, including the former owners.
