Background

The controversy between Bricks & Minifigs and Reckless Ben began with allegations involving LEGO sets consigned by the Mansell family to a Bricks & Minifigs franchise store in Oregon.

The dispute has since escalated into a wider legal battle involving former Oregon franchise owner Joshua Johnson and Bricks & Minifigs CEO Ammon McNeff.

Reckless Ben has been documenting the case through a series of videos, which has led to police action, searches, and court proceedings.

The lawsuit has reached a point where Reckless Ben can no longer discuss certain parts of the case publicly, and he has been advised not to mention Bricks & Minifigs due to the ongoing court matter.
