Bought stuff from EBAY, stuff is defective. Went back and forth with the seller for 13 days. They sent me defective replacements TWICE! Notified EBAY getting refund after info and 10 PICS and once they receive all the merch. They told me i have to supply a box even tho my merch came in a bag....
Final boss return package:
Cables mummified in National Enquirer + excessive tape
Crumpled Playboy pages as packing
Spring snakes ready to launch
A few dozen lemons thrown in for that fresh citrus scent + maximum confusion
When they open that giant R740 server box it’s going to be a war crime of chaos.
1/ New Reckless Ben video just dropped: “Bad News in the LEGO Scandal”
He says he’s now under a Utah TRO/gag order that basically stops him from making videos about Bricks & Minifigs or the case.
Patreon CEO publicly pushes back against Bricks & Minifigs
Video: https://t.co/Sj1jE04in9
Patreon’s CEO posted a direct response rejecting BAM’s takedown request... essentially telling BAM to “stuff it.”
GoFundMe has also been ordered shut down (~$400k–$450k raised).
https://t.co/lyKQRSdYQe
2/ The court order is extremely broad. It’s being called a SLAPP suit by a lot of people. Reactions on X are pretty heated — boycotts being discussed, anger at the gag order, and frustration that the GoFundMe got frozen.
3/ Several new reaction videos in the last ~10 hours:
- “Reckless Ben Could Go To Jail Over LEGO Scandal Finale”
- Local BAM store reactions
- Penguinz0 coverage starting to pick up
4/ Important context: This is still just a temporary restraining order. The underlying lawsuits (consignment dispute, RICO claims, etc.) are still ongoing. No final rulings yet.
5/ Reckless Ben is currently restricted from further public discussion of the case without risking contempt. Bryan Mansell’s GoFundMe has been ordered to refund donors.
1/ RecklessBen has been investigating a major LEGO consignment dispute involving Bryan Mansell and his father’s $200k+ Star Wars LEGO collection that was allegedly never returned by a Bricks & Minifigs franchise in Oregon.
The series has now escalated significantly.
2/ RecklessBen released two main videos laying out the case:
- His initial investigation into the missing LEGO collection
- Follow-up with interviews and evidence
Episode 3 was completed but cannot be posted.
3/ In his latest video (“My final message”), RecklessBen revealed he is under a court-ordered gag order.
Bricks & Minifigs obtained the order by claiming he made bomb threats and planned to murder employees — claims he says are disproven by bodycam footage. He is not allowed to name the company or post Episode 3 without risking jail and the GoFundMe funds.

4/ Lawyers stepping up:
- The Civil Rights Lawyer (John H. Bryan) has publicly stepped in to assist RecklessBen after his arrest related to the case.
- Multiple legal YouTubers (including Legal Eagle and criminal defense lawyers) have done breakdowns of the situation.
5/ GoFundMe for Bryan Mansell (currently over $400k):

6/ This case now involves allegations of corporate retaliation, police involvement, and the use of legal threats to silence coverage. The fact that a gag order was granted based on one-sided accusations is drawing significant attention.
More updates expected once the legal situation is clarified.
Here’s a fresh update:
1/ Update on the RecklessBen situation (last 7 hours):
Reckless Ben’s “bad news” video has now surpassed 2.2M views and is still climbing fast. In it, he states he finished Episode 3 but is blocked from releasing it by a Temporary Restraining Order.

Stopped tipping Walmart Spark drivers months ago. 9/10 orders have problems. Yesterday they had 5 substitutions, day before that 6 unavailable items. Last week they swapped my 5lb cheese for two 3lb packs at nearly 2x the price. Missing items, wrong stuff, someone else’s groceries, or no-shows are constant. Not worth tipping anymore.
