It should go without saying, but if you are a Lego collector, trader, or parent/buyer...
Do not EVER do business with the store "Bricks & Minifigs." These are known thieves who stole a dying old man's collection that he worked his entire life to build.
They're also in a weird Mormon cult and like to weaponize police/swat people who try to serve them legal court documents.
Dangerous, dirty, corrupt rats who don't deserve a cent. Spread the word, tell your friends family and neighbors. It is incredibly important to rid the country of a company filled with religious cultist rats who couldn't honor a deal and simply give a man his Legos back.
This investigation video by Reckless Ben, into Bricks and Minifigs is single handedly the greatest journalistic work I've ever seen outside of Nick Shirley's MN investigation. It's funny and doesn't take itself seriously, but it's absolutely serious.

The internet is not talking about "Reckless Ben" and the situation regarding Bricks and Minifigs at all.
So let me help bring some attention to this thing.
Ben Schneider is a comedic YouTube journalist in the same vain as Nathan For You/Nathan Felder.
His work into the abuse of Russ McKamey and McKamey Manor resulted in a Hulu Documentary, and prompted the Tennessee attorney general to open an investigation.
His first major video he infiltrated Scientology wearing spyglasses.
Now he is investigating the theft of a families' heirloom Star Wars LEGO collection, and he's looking at FIVE YEARS in prison for doing so.
The story involves Bricks and Minifigs placing the families prized LEGO collection on consignment and then just stealing the $200,000 worth of inventory, never giving the family the inventory or the money for the product. It's an incredible act of theft, brazenly admitted to on camera. But because it is technically a civil matter, and Bricks and Minifigs are a 400M dollar company their response was simply "Take us to Court."
Doing so would cost more money than the family has.
So Reckless Ben comes in, spends three months exposing all the corruption from the franchise down to the corporate offices.
Did I mention that Bricks and Minifig is a very valuable Mormon owned company in Utah and run by BYU graduates? That's important information. Ben explains the collusion with the LDS church in his video.
The latest video, which has not been made public yet results in Ben being harassed by the Mormon police department in American Fork, illegally redacting bodycam audio, swatted at gun point and his entire team being taken to jail for "starting a GoFundMe."
Ben spent days in jail.
I am not making this up. The police tell him that is the reason. Then the police raid his home in Los Angeles and issue a warrant for his arrest.
He is facing FIVE YEARS in prison. For simply doing journalism, and trying to bring attention to this family who had their sick grandfathers Lego collection stolen from them.
The second video has not been released from his Patreon yet, but I suspect it will soon.
It is one of the most unbelievable stories I have ever seen, and better than any crime documentary you will watch on Netflix this year.
If you are not aware of what is going on let me ask you to spread the word. The entire internet needs to come to the support of Reckless Ben and Bricks and Minifigs should be completely shut down forever and investigated by the DOJ.

The dispute has turned into a viral investigation by YouTuber Reckless Ben
@1davidj@PollTracker2024 What are the problems? Does this legislation give rise to same problems from other states? It seem getting legalization is hard enough.
@1davidj@PollTracker2024 My stance is legalize it as proposed. Then make changes as appropriate. No know how things will play out until there is foundation. It's not going to be perfect initially but there has to be a first step. That's leadership, taking the first. She decided to play politics.
@1davidj@PollTracker2024 Sound like politics to me. Explain how legalization creates an illicit market place? You know what would happen if marijuana was made legal... nothing.
