@vinted you guys fixed the shipping problem?? Your system is changing all weight limits selected on listing down to small limit ( 1 lb). So I select large ( 4 lb limit) and the label that it creates has a 1 lb limit, THAT IS A PROBLEM! I’m documenting and will not pay any overage
The fact that Bricks and Mini Figs could have ended this for under $200k USD and avoided all the PR damage pains my corporate counsel core
This case has horrible decision makers on all sides
@Dexerto What can he do, sue them or something
Ben can just not pay the suit if he looses
BAM proved you can do that and not have to face any repercussions
Fuck these losers. Fuck Fork County and #utah as a state and a whole.
Mormon losers hiding their thievery and attacking innocents.
Bricks & MiniFigs are an EVIL company with DASTARDLY owners and they deserve the full punishments possible.
@vinted What the hell is going on at Vinted. I listed multiple items with medium and large shipping selected. When I get the printed shipping label, the weight limit is 1 lb, the small shipping. Is it a glitch, or is Vinted or the customer changing the shipping sizes after?
A conflict between a Youtuber and a Bricks & Minifigs executive over a Lego collection worth $200,000 has garnered public attention and has led to accusations of misconduct being levied at the American Fork Police Department.

@vinted why is the app changing shipping weight selections? I selected medium on 2 items recently and when they were purchased, the label weight limit dropped to 1 lb, which is the small limit.
@Tiffany3166@Asmongold Hmmm.. I wonder if one of the guys that stole the collection in Oregon have a connection to the police… friend? Relative? I’m seriously getting that vibe
@Tiffany3166@Asmongold@LEGO_Group@LEGO_Group this sort of behaviour is not congruent with your corporate culture.
Bricks and mini figs does not seem to be a company you should be associated with.
Hey @LEGO_Group, why do you partner with a company that steals from old people and lies to police to get the people trying to sue them for it arrested? As long as Bricks and Minifigs has a licensing agreement to use your IP in their logo, decent people aren’t going to buy LEGO.
A family claims their $200,000 Lego Star Wars collection was withheld after a Bricks & Minifigs store changed ownership
The dispute has turned into a viral investigation by YouTuber Reckless Ben
I took a few seconds to contact Bricks & MiniFigs corporate about the alleged Lego theft in Oregon.
They look terrible in the video responses both locally and corporately.
Take a moment and send an email.
If you have a local store, tell them you cannot support until resolved.
ATTENTION all LEGO lovers
BRICKS and MINIFIGS CORPORATE stole a $200,000 Star Wars Lego collection from a father who was dying!!!!

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.
