[00:00] I don't even know how to intro this video because there's nothing I can say that will actually do the scope of this corruption and diabolical scandal justice. But I will give you the premise. It's around Legos.

[00:13] And I know you probably immediately roll your eyes going, oh, that's probably nothing super crazy. Buster, you don't know the half of it. A YouTuber named Reckless Bin conducted a thorough investigation on a huge Lego-related crime.

[00:28] It is a crazy web of malicious bad actors, shady individuals. It's like the Lego cartel. I don't know how to do this intro to really lay the foundation in a way that captures the scope,

[00:44] because it is that big. So I highly recommend you watch his entire video. I'm going to go over a lot of it here, because I have been captivated by this. And this is only part one.

[00:56] It actually, there's more to it, but I think it's only fitting that we start from the very beginning. Hanson is life, collecting what's now known as the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection ever.

[01:11] It's estimated to be worth around $200,000. And then, the entire thing got stolen. And the police are actively working with the thieves to cover the entire thing up. But the craziest part is that the collector doesn't even know that his collection's been stolen.

[01:25] Yeah, the collector's son, Brian, well, he reached out to me because he has no clue how to break this news to his dad. So that's the surface level analysis here. It becomes like a full-blown fucking noir film, though.

[01:39] It gets so deep. But fundamentally, an individual who has spent years and tons of money accumulating an extremely valuable Lego collection worth up to $200,000 of value,

[01:55] has had it stolen from him, unbeknown to him, and unfortunately law enforcement has repeatedly shown that they have no interest in investigating this case or helping in any way,

[02:07] and have instead been far more on the side of the dubious perpetrators. And this individual's son has reached out to this YouTuber, Reckless Bin, because he's just caught in between a rock and a hard cock at this point.

[02:22] Like, there's very few options left since going through the proper channels of, like, the police who you would expect to, you know, maybe do something about this because it is a crime. It is a big deal.

[02:34] That's a lot of money, by the way. But that was fruitless. They were far more interested in just shooing them away and even threatening to have them arrested multiple times. So Brian, the son, teamed up with Ben and his team to do everything they could to try and either get him his Legos back, his father's Legos back, or get them the payment that they were due for the Legos, which, a lot of money.

[02:59] But anyways, the thief of this collection is actually a corporation called Bricks and Minipigs. Bricks and Minipigs, the biggest toy store of its kind. It's the largest toy store. Bricks and Minipigs were not just your average Lego store.

[03:11] For collectors, bricks and minifigs is basically seen as the best and safest way to sell your Lego collection. I'm selling my Legos. Now even me, a drooling Cro-Magnon man who is not deep into the Lego community,

[03:25] I've heard of bricks and minifigs. They are a big corporation, and I do know that they are considered, or at least were considered prior to this, the gold standard when it comes to selling your Legos.

[03:39] So the fact that they are the corporation that's implicated in this actually was pretty surprising to me, because they're like the only company in this space that I had heard of. And it turns out, well, might not be all sunshine and titties over there.

[03:54] It may be a lot of malicious bad actors, potentially. Brian thought that this would be the perfect store to finally sell his dad's Lego Star Wars collection. I wrote up a contract. In the contract, it says that these are still the family's Lego sets, but every time one gets sold, the store gets to keep a small percentage of each sale.

[04:13] This was a store's worth of inventory. So that store that day was nothing but my dad's collection. Like, all the shelves filled. They had the green and extra shelves that filled the whole party room with shelves.

[04:25] But the owner of the franchise, this woman, well, her husband had to actually leave the country due to some work-related reasons. my husband and I were planning on moving out of the country. They did everything correct when it came to selling his father's collection to Bricks and Minifigs.

[04:39] So they got his Library of Alexandria of Lego collection. They got the fucking one piece. And basically it was the entire store's inventory. They had to call in the cavalry in order to take it all.

[04:52] And the owner of the franchise, which is that woman right there that is being interviewed by Ben, made a mention that her and her husband were actually planning on moving out of the country. And when she informed corporate about this, they said that, you know what, there is a seller who is potentially interested in owning in that area.

[05:09] And then it went straight down the shitter. It spiraled into some degeneracy where they informed her that they were terminating her franchise agreement. They were threatening to call the cops on her.

[05:21] You're excommunicado here like it's fucking John Wick. And she made a point to say, you know, this isn't right. This is not comfortable. I'm not leaving without doing inventory, but they want to go out of there. You know, they hit the road, buster, and it's actually backed up by irrefutable evidence.

[05:39] She was actually able to save all the security camera footage from that night, proving that everything she just said is true. All the footage and evidence is there. In the security cam footage, it's in Apple Store, taking her out.

[05:51] In that footage, they said, is Crystal asking, and how am I supposed to pay this guy if these are stuff he has not been paid for. The corporation is sitting there on video saying they're going to take it.

[06:03] After this woman got kicked out of her own store, she called Brian explaining how a corporate just came down and is now trying to take the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection without paying for it. I feel like I have to be extremely careful and pussyfoot around what I'm allowed to show,

[06:17] but in Reckless Ben's video, he does show the security camera footage, and it does have someone going confirming that they are taking on that business, and most notably a very important thing that is captured on film is him saying that they also take on the co-assignment.

[06:29] That means that they are legally taking on the responsibility of Brian's Legos. At least, as I understand it, that's how it seems to be. That is something very important to remember going forward.

[06:41] I mean, how do you possibly wiggle your way out of that one? That's pretty indefensible. It's right there on camera, 4K in the cringe compilation. it feels like checkmate to me, but this is bricks and minifigs we're talking about.

[06:57] These are supervillains here. We had some, like, actual diabolical demons in that food chain. So, Brian, the son, reached out asking, well, what happened to the previous owner?

[07:09] And that's when he was informed that, oh, she's gone. She went straight to Valhalla. Corporate's taking this over now. And he's like, okay, well, what about my collection? and all that vintage Star Wars that you have in your store right now on your shelves,

[07:23] that's ours, and we haven't been paid for it, we have a contract, we have all of this evidence of this deal, and still haven't been paid. And things soured, they weren't willing to play ball with that,

[07:36] and then eventually it led to Brian and the store here, the new guy, clashing, where he was like, okay, so what's next steps here? Maybe we go to court. and the guy,

[07:48] Clayton O'Brien, crossed his arms and really, he had the fucking, he had an exorcism moment there. He really, he let the mess slip, he let the evil out and was basically just threatening and saying like,

[08:00] look, if we go on this route, we are going to basically bleed you dry. We are going to drain the piss from your balls legally and it will end up costing you more than you would have ever gotten for this collection in the first place. So if that's what you want to do,

[08:13] buckle your seatbelt. That kind of thing. and Brian's like, okay, well, what was I supposed to do? Because Brian's father, the owner of this collection, has had health problems and it's not exactly something they can afford to do

[08:27] getting into this extremely lengthy, extremely expensive legal battle. So, now, that brings us to Reckless Bin's involvement here because there aren't a ton of options for Brian's family.

[08:39] And since that interaction, they have been flooding their social media page with those vintage Star Wars Legos that they still haven't paid for, which feels like they are just gloating and ghostying just openly mocking Brian and his father collection just insulting the family

[08:59] And why are the cops not helping? Luckily for Brian, a YouTuber ended up catching wind of this story and created a team of YouTubers to do whatever they could to get Brian his Legos back. This is the full inventory of all the sets and minisags, so we can figure out a good set of money and stuff.

[09:15] But right after they started, they instantly stopped looking on this case. So I told one of them to find out why. So there was a surging legal action against us.

[09:27] You know, Brick's community things is a pretty big company who probably has way more resources than we can, you know, really put up a fight against. Brick's community things knows that they can just bully anyone that tries to expose them with frivolous lawsuits.

[09:41] So this story here wasn't something that totally flew under the radar. There were people that knew about it. So there was a group of YouTubers that wanted to try their best to get him his money for his collection.

[09:55] But when they picked up the case, they were allegedly threatened with legal action from bricks and minifigs, which is something we've seen countless times in the past with these corporations

[10:07] that when some of the dirtiness starts to hit the mainstream, they then lash out litigiously to silence them, like Reckless Ben says, to bully them into this submission,

[10:21] because they know they have more money, and they are going to use that against these YouTubers that don't have the means of fighting against a company of their size. Now, what happens next in the video is something I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share.

[10:36] in Reckless Ben's video I've noticed he's edited it to have like blurs around the video but it's not actually blurring anything but I think he was trying to with the YouTube editing tool so I'm just going to describe what happens

[10:48] and if you want to see it go to Reckless Ben's video for it but he actually goes directly to the Bricks and Minifig 16 hour drive with his friends he went there and he was wearing the glasses that you can record with which you've seen

[11:00] a bunch of fucking TikTok pranksters using for nefarious means but he goes there and he just asks the employee, hey, I'm here, inquiring about Brian's collection. He uses the name Brian.

[11:12] And immediately, they've only had, like, two sentences shared between them where he says, hello, and she says, hello, you know, how are you, that kind of thing. And then he says, hey, I'm here to ask about this Lego collection from Brian. And then she instantly says, you

[11:24] need to leave. And then she starts putting up a big stink about how she's being harassed, even though he hasn't said anything else. He's just mentioned Brian's Legos and asked, you know, like, what's the deal with all that? She instantly starts playing this card of, like,

[11:37] he's harassing me, holy fuck! Ah! Ah! It hurts! Ah! And then she gets on the phone, talking about, like, check the cameras, this fucking creep psychopath is come in harassing me,

[11:52] all because he's asked about Brian's Legos. She then tried to give him the runaround, saying, like, this is corporate, not me, scram, dweeb, take it up with corporate. But he already went to corporate, and he showed more footage of that interaction,

[12:08] where they at corporate were saying, well, you've got to take it up with her. So they're just giving him the runaround, just sending him on a wild goose chase here, this game of hot potato that nobody wants to actually, like, take responsibility for.

[12:21] Eventually, he does get the owner of that shop on the horn and says, hey, I'm looking to get these Legos back for my friend. And he keeps saying, why do you think you're entitled to our inventory? and then he says like,

[12:33] hey, look, I have the contract. These are still his Legos and by the contract that they have, Brian, with this store, seems like they are indeed still his Legos. So he's saying, hey, they're his and he goes, are you stupid?

[12:46] Are you stupid? Are you an idiot? That's what the owner keeps saying to this guy and then the police arrive. We just have him in the store and we just like to pick him up, I guess, because they were going to sell it for us, but I guess they're not selling it for us anymore. But this is not what you're watching here, right?

[12:58] But they have our sets though, yeah. but it's definitely right here the fact that it is that they don't want to shoot their private store but they don't want to. Uh-huh. But I don't want them to keep the Lego set. Okay. So. Yeah.

[13:11] The police officer literally didn't care at all that the store just stole $200,000 worth of Legos. For some reason he made it seem like I was the bad guy. Okay. That's for life. So if you come back. Oh for

[13:23] life? Yeah. If you come back you could be around. This part I feel like I can show this is now outside of the business, interacting with law enforcement, so I'm pretty sure this one's okay. You can see this interaction.

[13:35] So the officer shows up because the lady had called the police about all of this, and he is now being trespassed for life. He is blacklisted from entering this bricks and minifigs forever until the heat death of the universe.

[13:47] And Reckless Finn is trying to explain, hey, I'm here because we had a deal. They're not selling the Legos, so I'm here to try and get them back. And he's not listening to it at all. He's not even entertaining the idea of, like, maybe he had a reason to be here.

[14:04] Maybe there is something going on. Brian did warn me that the police are actively trying to cover this up. So Brian and I are now officially trespassed from the store. And if we ever come back to ask for his own Lego collection back, then we are going to be arrested.

[14:19] Is there, I guess, a reason why they're able to just take all the Legos and not give it back? her. So, you gotta, like, that's what I believe. No, we don't. Now, I've watched a lot of body cams.

[14:31] I'm something of a connoisseur of body cams and this behavior from the officer is a little peculiar because in instances of, like, someone being trespassed, I've usually seen, like, a conversation about, like, what was your purpose here?

[14:43] Like, why were you here in the first place? And he's trying to explain, like, hey, look, they took this from me, like, my friend. And then he's even asked the officer, well, what can I do to get it back then? And instead of answering that question, you're just like, nope, you've just got to leave.

[14:56] Which is odd, because typically, if there is, like, an actual reason for them being there, the officer, in the past from what I've seen, has guided them to, like, hey, we'll take it up with this department, or we can look into this later, file a report, that kind of thing.

[15:08] The officer's not doing anything like that. He is instantly just shutting that shit down, putting the kibosh on it, just reiterating that you've got to leave. And, like, I understand he was called there solely to trespass him, but even still, he can say, like, We can handle this, you know, through the official channel, through this way, if there is actually a grievance here.

[15:24] But for now, you just have to leave the property. That's how our unit handled in the past. Now, since he was trespassed from that location, he went back to corporate and actually talked with the CEO, Bricks and Minifigs. His name is Amon McNess.

[15:37] And he just instantly goes liar, liar, pants on fire mode. Again, this is filmed with his glasses here, so I don't know if I'm allowed to show it. But if you want to see it, I guess while it's still up on Reckless Spence channel, you can go see how this went. but he is now denying that they even have

[15:51] Brian's Legos. He's like, who is Brian? I've never heard of that guy. So then Ben pulls up their social media showing all the posts that they have made about Brian's collection, his vintage

[16:03] Star Wars Legos, showing them that they are literally flaunting it, and even showing like where they talk about the value of his collection, showing it to his face that they do have his Legos. So even though he keeps like

[16:15] outright denying it, their own social media of betrays his words. And then goes the same way it always seems to with these bricks and minifigs zombies. This guy actually has a cartoonishly evil mustache.

[16:28] He's got a twirled mustache, and he ends up just saying, you know what? You're wrong. Get the fuck out of here. Don't know what you're talking about. If you come back, you'll be arrested. So he gets the police on there, and he's basically been trespassed there, so he can't step for it. He then, through a series of plans, gets an employee of the store on his side, gets the

[16:46] owner's number and then calls the owner directly and finally presents the contract to the owner, who is once again doing the same thing the CEO was, saying, I don't know what Legos you're talking about. We don't have these Legos. What are you glabbering about, weirdo? So he sends

[16:59] him the contract. He's like, oh, well, I never signed that contract. There's no signed contract with me. And he's right, because it is the previous owner's name on there. But the thing is, when they took it over, they said that they are taking on those previous business agreements.

[17:15] They are taking on the consignments like this Lego collection that they had from Brian, which they are still actively hawking. They still have it, and they haven't paid for it.

[17:27] So, that excuse can't work. I don't feel like there's some legal loophole there when they have taken over this business and agreed to take on these consignments, according to what we have evidence of.

[17:39] So I feel like there no way that they can weasel themselves out of it like actually by law It feels highly illegal what they doing And once again these brainwashed ghouls at bricks and minifigs devolve into the same thing

[17:53] You're harassing me! I'm calling the cops. So, once he is basically, you know, putting the fucking full mouth in here, the contract is there, he tries to claim that's not how the law works, we don't take on the business that we take over,

[18:07] so like this previous owner's contract no longer includes us, even though we're still selling that inventory, and even though the contract is still applicable to the business we took over, even though it's just not my name on there, so it doesn't count, which means we don't actually have to pay for this collection that we have an agreement with

[18:22] and that we are still actively selling. You guys are wrong. You're harassing me. I'm calling the cops. That's how that ends with the owner there. And then Brian talks about how when he tried to sue them, oh, I forgot to mention the owner, of course, tried to play hardball saying,

[18:36] well, sue me then. If that's how the law works, sue me. Because he knows that as this big corporation may have enough resources to drag it out and make it very painful for just the average Joe Schmo. And then Brian starts to talk about how when he did try and sue them, go through the legal channels, it wasn't exactly smooth sailing or easy.

[18:55] Brian already tried to sue them, and it didn't work. We have asked you a couple attorneys, and they basically spelled it out, saying, here's the path that's going to happen if you go down each of these routes. They're now staying, so we're getting into that.

[19:08] international thing just to have a joke show in the store to have them go back and prove if we're older than not that's like $67,000 yeah Bricks and Minifigs knows that Brian and his dad don't have nearly enough resources

[19:21] to sue a company as big as Bricks and Minifigs he's like we're going to keep you you're going to walk away from this you're not coming back and if you choose to do us we will drag this out in court

[19:33] so that it's well past what the collection is worth. Which is something he touched on earlier with the initial threats that were made against him when he tried to inquire about either the payment for his father's Lego collection, which they have, or getting the Legos back,

[19:49] which they're refusing to do. They have this huge inventory that they have not paid for, they have not fulfilled the obligations of the contract with the store, and he is not getting

[20:01] them back, and they're saying he's not entitled to it. It's so fucking disgusting, man. This is our tagline, because it's boring. And it changed itself, we steal from old people.

[20:13] And now the tagline's actually accurate. Also added a cute little company logo. And this is my plan of how I'm going to make it into court with bricks and minifigs for free. It's where I'm going to make my grand reveal.

[20:26] And see, this entire time, my company name was actually called, we steal from old people. Yeah, the word bricks and minifigs, that's just the company tagline. In America, there's no specific law that says whether the tagline has to be above or beneath the company name.

[20:42] So I'm just glad to do this. So his plan basically became to goad Bricks and Minifigs into opening a lawsuit against him under the belief that they've stolen their name.

[20:56] And his Uno reverse card was, didn't steal their name, that's the tagline, the name of the company is actually We Steal From Old People. So he did actually incorporate it, and he does have a website where we steal from old people, where they're, like, selling merch and all of that.

[21:12] And they, I'm not a fucking lawyer. I don't know if that works. My noodle up here, it feels like since he did take directly their logo, Bricks and Minifigs, it would still probably be a problem, even if it isn't the name of the company.

[21:29] It's still just being, like, the tagline and forward-facing. probably creates brand confusion that could get them on the hook for an issue. I don't really know, but the plan was, instead of paying tons and tons and tons of legal fees to sue them,

[21:44] flip it so that way they are paying the legal fees to sue them. So that way they can get into court with them and hopefully reveal their shady, potentially illegal business practices.

[21:56] Now, the next sections in the video are highly entertaining to watch, but ultimately don't accomplish the goal of getting bricks and minifigs in court. They go back to the CEO, who is now aware of what they've been doing,

[22:08] which was like selling outside of their store, that kind of stuff, and the lease deal from old people thing. And they are a registered business, and he now knows that, and he knows that they can just keep kicking the can down the road, passing the responsibility off to franchisees instead of corporate,

[22:23] and that law enforcement won't step in because it's a civil matter. So the CEO is aware of all that and thus is avoiding doing anything litigious against them. And so they try like a raffle scheme to get like the cops on their side.

[22:38] Ultimately, it doesn't work. The cops are very much against them trying to like get any kind of investigation into the actual Legos that they are still having without paying for them. the cops really do not like these guys because they keep getting calls about like trespassing

[22:54] them, trespassing them, harassment this, harassment that. So they are very much not looking to really investigate their claims about like they have these Legos, they haven't paid for it, which is illegal. Like to me, and I haven't brushed up on my civil versus criminal lawsuit,

[23:11] but I feel like that would start to teeter on being a criminal lawsuit if they are knowingly selling this product that they have not paid for, knowing that it is not even owned by them via the contract they have.

[23:23] Like, I feel like that would get close to a criminal case that would warrant some kind of, like, actual investigation, but they're not willing to even take those first steps because Bricks and Minifigs just keeps calling the cops out here about, like, trespassing

[23:35] them, they're harassing, and they're hatching these, like, wacky schemes to try and get Bricks and Minifigs to engage legally with them so that way they can open it up to more with how they've been doing their business.

[23:48] And it just ultimately wasn't working. Now, what it does do, and again, I don't think I can show any of the footage here from it, but what it does do is it whittles down the owner, Josh, where it does seem like he starts to get really antsy and start to kind of panic a little bit.

[24:03] So he has another conversation with Ben, and he's like, look, this is what I need. I'll give the Legos back. If I get a written apology from Brian, sweet, you're such a fucking twerp, Josh, all of the negative comments taken off,

[24:17] only positive reviews, that kind of thing. So he is, like, actually holding the Legos hostage for these deliverables here. This is a fucking loser, man. Yeah, so basically before Brian can get his Star Wars Lego collection back,

[24:31] he has to write Bricks and Minifigs an apology letter for making this Facebook post. Bricks and Minifigs really doesn't like this Facebook post staying up because in his Facebook page, Brian calls Brick Minifigs out for stealing his Lego Star Wars collection.

[24:46] I'm apologizing for s**t. I agree, but it's not. But here's where we're at, right? You could just write the letter, like, we have the Lego tag. I walked in there with the best intention.

[24:58] Here's proof of my collection in the store I want it back. And they've done nothing but lie and make my life a living f**king hell over there. I've gone through nine months of anxiety, stress, hospital men, medication taking types of burdens.

[25:13] No, I am not apologizing to this f***ing asshole. It is just egregious to demand that the guy who only wants to either get the Legos back that his father has collected over the course of his life,

[25:25] or get paid for the Legos that you still have from his father's collection, is the one that is needing to apologize. guys. I agree with Brian. Like, on pure principle alone, that's just totally fucking unacceptable.

[25:40] Like, to be the insufferable asshole who is knowingly engaging in this shadiness, I'll call it shadiness, but I think it's far harsher than that, but that's just allegedly, and

[25:54] then demanding that the guy who is representing his father, who is medication-ridden, who is not in the best of health and only wanted to sell the collection to help with their living

[26:06] situation is actually like the bad guy here is just completely crazy plus i don't trust them i also would think even if brian did write that apology and take down the negative posts and like

[26:19] oh only positive posts going forward fist bumps and all that i still would be skeptical on if they would even follow through with getting the legos back or if they would just use that as evidence when they do get to the next step.

[26:31] Like, oh no, look, Brian apologized. So Brian was in the wrong. It was a big misunderstanding. See, Brian apologized. Because then they would have that in writing and they be able to use that It would likely be admissible in court should it get there So I would also be wary of doing this for that reason too I don think even if he did start writing the apology

[26:50] it's the most sincere thing ever. I still don't think they would actually give him his Legos back. It would just be used as a weapon against him. And this is something that Brian also made a mention of as it being a trap. And Ben actually had a really good idea here.

[27:05] So he once again contacted Josh, like, okay, Brian's going to make the apology video, so that way we can move this along and get the Legos back. But what he did is he actually took a screenshot of Brian from an earlier conversation and had his friend do the audio and then just basically deepfaked Brian's apology video.

[27:22] But it was never Brian apologizing. It was his friend's statement coming out of Brian's mouth that was loosely lip-synced to it and then sent it to Josh. Hi, I'm Brian Manzell. After just a little bit of deepfaking, it now looks like this.

[27:36] Hi, I'm Brian Mansell, and I apologize sincerely for a deep new guy of stealing my Legos. I was wrong, and you were right. This is the ultimate test.

[27:49] Was Josh being sincere, or was it all just one big trick? Josh then took the apology, and he said, Oh, this is so nice, this is so big of you. I can't wait to give your Legos back. You have my word, and that's not who I am.

[28:03] but you also need to go apologize to Amanda. So Ben goes to try and apologize to Amanda. After getting permission from Josh, the owner, to go there, even though he's been trespassed, he shows up, Amanda instantly tries to call the police to have him arrested.

[28:16] So that didn't go over super well. That does seem like they were just trying to get him arrested there. But then he calls Josh, and he's like, all right, now that I can't believe that happened, I can't believe she'd do that. Anyway, let's work on getting those Legos back, shall we?

[28:29] Well, wouldn't you believe it? Tons of time passes by. They keep stalling like, oh, yeah, no quick update, but soon we'll have it. These are all conversations that he's had over the phone with these fucking monsters over there.

[28:41] Again, this is Legos, by the way. And they just keep not giving the Legos over a week, two weeks. I already forgot, but it was a long time that passed. And then they eventually try making peace with Amanda again, which is the lady from the very beginning

[28:55] who just keeps getting the police on the horn to try and have them arrested. And that's still not working. and then it turns out, apparently, they don't have his Legos to give back anyway.

[29:08] He's saying, the shelves are empty, there is no Legos to even give back, which is very contradictory to what Josh said not too long ago about like, oh, yeah, we'll definitely give it back after this apology is coming. And they'd solved for so long about, oh, yeah, the Legos are coming,

[29:20] just, you know, big hiccup here, you know, unforeseen circumstances there, that kind of thing. And now they're saying, oh, no, we just don't have it to give back. So these are just actual fucking degenerate scammers, allegedly, is what it looks like.

[29:32] These are just fucking awful people here at Bricks and Minifigs. So basically, these are my two options. I can do what Josh wants me to do and shut up, which I can say right now I'm definitely not doing that.

[29:44] So what's the alternative? I can, I guess, raise hundreds of thousands of dollars somehow, and then maybe spend three to four years in court fighting them, And somehow, if I win, then we can finally get the family that I go back.

[29:59] Yeah, both of these options suck. Or maybe I can somehow find a way to engineer a third option, which I call option number three, small claims court. Think about it. Small claims court is basically just like big boy court,

[30:13] except it costs basically nothing, and you get a judgment pretty much instantly. After another hostile conversation with Josh, where Josh is melting down again after still not giving the Legos back after he promised he would do.

[30:27] You know, and again, Josh is a man of his word, according to the phone calls here. It now has boiled down to only one option left, which is small claims court, because the big court is way too expensive. Now, what happened next, I couldn't actually believe I was stunned.

[30:41] I can't recommend watching this video enough. They went through all the proper motions and channels from what I can see. Again, I'm not an expert, but it looks like they did squeak out the W with the small cranes, like, they didn't actually show up or do anything

[30:53] like they were supposed to, bricks and minifig, that is. So, Ben and the gang, they did win that, and when they went to collect, they actually shut down the store permanently. That was their response to it.

[31:06] They just closed operations of that location. Holy shit. If they didn't respond, you can move forward with the motion-breaking on-touching. Okay. Awesome. Well, thank you so much.

[31:18] Yeah. Since Brick and Minifigs didn't respond, it looks like we win by default. Congratulations, you win the court case. Wait, what? I couldn't believe it.

[31:30] Literally one day after we filed motion for default judgment, they permanently closed down this door. At first, it did feel kind of cool that our plan worked so well, they completely shut them down.

[31:44] But pretty quickly it sunk in that we are not the winners here. the only winner today is Brick's Minifigs. Now, there's absolutely no way to hold this store liable for what they did.

[31:59] I guess Brick's Minifigs was kind of embarrassed by this decision and forgot to mark online that their store is closed. So, over the next few days, a bunch of negative reviews started coming in of people expecting an open store, but then being met with this.

[32:14] Fucking cinema. Like, yes, it is not a good ending because now they still haven't paid Brian for the collection, and they still got to get away with all of it.

[32:26] They just closed this one store, but they're still a big corporation, so like Ben said, they are still kind of the winners here, even though they lost the small claims court here. They just shut this down and move on. But it did end with a flood of negative reviews for bricks and minifigs because, well, they didn't even really inform their customers about disclosure because it was so instantaneous after the small claims default judgment, I guess.

[32:51] Pretty fucking wacky. What a diabolical company. Again, this is all over Legos, by the way. And the cops at no point were ever on, like, the side of bed, and yet still they were able to squeeze out something, I think, pretty impressive here.

[33:05] The cops were always on bricks and minifigs' side, even at times seemingly going out of their way to be on their side, which is extremely annoying. Like, I don't think they were getting, you know, money under the table for their cooperation or anything like that.

[33:20] It is just one of those things where I guess they just believe that the business can do no wrong and that this must just be some wacky psycho doing shit to be disrupted. But really, bricks and minifigs are the bad guys here from all available evidence.

[33:34] and the only way to let the world know is for me to give them an official closing ceremony. I guess someone driving by

[33:46] happened to take a picture of the sign we put up and posted it on social media and pretty much immediately we started going absolutely viral. The entire world has now seen this crime that British Minipigs has committed

[33:59] and because of this they finally marked on Google that their store is permanently closed. I've been reading about this fiction thing, it's been on Oregon to have this sign out on.

[34:11] It's been over a week. The sign is still up and people have been traveling from all over just to come and take a picture with this sign. If you drive to your cover, you may have noticed the material sign that you're recently out as opposed to any food

[34:23] in the store. Banger. That's so good. So the sign popped off here because it's the only way to let people know why that store's closed. What all has happened there? What's going on? Why is it no longer operational?

[34:37] And then it just started to naturally, organically catch wind online in the LEGO community, and then it exploded beyond the LEGO community. And apparently all of this is still just the first part of this saga here, this LEGO adventure.

[34:51] Part 2 is up on his Patreon, and he gave a sizzler reel where apparently he is in handcuffs, him and his whole group are. I don't know how it pops off to that degree. because it looks like they're at their own home with it.

[35:04] It's seemingly pretty fucking wild in part two, but yeah, even this part one had me stunned. The depth of depravity for Legos from this company, seemingly, is unbelievable.

[35:19] I had to yap about this. It was an incredible video. Again, I highly recommend you go watch the entire thing from Reckless Spin. I just couldn't help but blabber about it. fucking home run of a video here, and a big fuck you to bricks and minifigs. Anyway, that's really

[35:34] about it. See ya.
