A man spent his life building what became the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection, worth roughly $200,000, and a franchise toy store called Bricks and Minifigs effectively took the whole thing without paying, then leaned on a corrupt local police force to treat the family as the criminals. A YouTuber who goes by Reckless Ben drove sixteen hours, filmed everything on spy glasses, and spent the next several months out maneuvering the company's lawyers with a chain of escalating and barely legal stunts: a fake Lego cult, a rival company literally named "We Steal From Old People," a religion called "Scientology Sucks," a state regulated raffle designed to convert a civil dispute into a criminal one, and finally a swarm of small claims lawsuits that won by default and bankrupted the store into closing. Asmongold watches the whole thing in real time, swinging between disbelief, legal nitpicking, and outright awe, eventually calling it the best video he has seen in a long time. This page rebuilds the entire saga in order, every tactic, every loophole, every reversal, with Asmongold's running commentary folded in. The underlying story is a case study in how the gap between civil and criminal law lets a corporation steal in plain sight, and how one relentless creative person used that same gap as a weapon.
This is a remake of the reaction and the source video it reacts to, not a recap. You can read it instead of watching and miss almost nothing.
The setup: a father's life work, and a store that took it
The story opens with the stakes. One man spent his life collecting Lego Star Wars sets until he held what is described as the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection ever assembled, estimated at around $200,000. Then the entire thing was stolen, and according to Reckless Ben, the police were actively working with the thieves to cover it up. The cruelest detail comes first: the collector does not even know his collection is gone. His son, Brian, reached out to Reckless Ben because he had no idea how to break the news to his father, who had just suffered a health episode and could not be exposed to any stress.
The thief was not a person but a corporation, Bricks and Minifigs, described as the largest secondhand toy store franchise of its kind in America and, for collectors, seen as the safest, most reputable place to sell a Lego collection. Asmongold, watching, has never heard of the chain. He asks if it is "like GameStop but for Legos," which is roughly the right mental model. Because the store had such a strong public reputation, Brian thought it was the perfect place to finally sell his dad's collection.
Brian did the responsible thing. He wrote up a consignment contract. The contract was explicit: the Lego sets remained the family's property, and every time the store sold one, it would keep a small percentage of the sale. The collection was so large it filled an entire store. The franchise had to bring in extra shelves and fill the whole party room. That day, the store was nothing but Brian's father's collection.
Then the structure that would define the whole saga appeared. The franchise owner, a woman named Crystal, was moving out of the country with her husband for work. She told corporate she planned to sell the store, so corporate found a buyer. A man named Brandon arrived, and instead of a smooth handover he informed Crystal that her franchise agreement was being terminated. She was threatened by Brandon and by corporate: leave the store immediately or the police would be called. Crystal said she was not comfortable leaving without doing inventory, because there were consigned sets the family had not yet been paid their percentage on. She was told she would not be allowed to stay long enough to count.
Crucially, Crystal saved the security camera footage from that night, which proves all of it. In that footage, Crystal asks Brandon how she is supposed to pay the consignor for sets that have not been paid out, and Brandon's own answer becomes the legal hinge of the entire story: "That's a business thing. If taking on the business, he takes on all that." The new owner, on camera, acknowledges that whoever takes over the business inherits the consignment obligation. Asmongold immediately spots the significance: "He's right about that. If the owner changes, he's signing a contract with the business, not with the specific owner. You inherit that obligation." The new owner had admitted the contract followed the store. He would later pretend otherwise.
The wall: the contract means nothing without money to enforce it
After Crystal was forced out, she called Brian to warn him that corporate had taken over and was now trying to keep the collection without paying. Brian called the store. The new representative claimed not to know anything about the family's Lego sets. Brian came in person with a copy of the contract, photo evidence, and video evidence, and offered the simplest possible resolution: let me in the back to see the sets, or we go to court.
The owner crossed his arms and delivered the threat that the entire corporate playbook rests on. If we go to court, he said, we will drag this out so long that you spend far more than the collection is ever worth. This is the weapon: not a denial of the theft, but the calculated knowledge that the victim cannot afford the fight. Asmongold notes the obvious, that this strongarming is itself captured on the store's own security cameras.
Bricks and Minifigs understood the family's situation precisely. With the father's failing health and no resources for a lawsuit, they knew Brian could not pursue them. And almost mockingly, the company flooded its own social media with photos of the very Star Wars Legos it had taken, rubbing the family's face in it. As the narration puts it, they stole the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection and got away with it. Asmongold's reaction is plain disbelief: how can a corporation do this, and why are the cops not helping?
A first team of YouTubers, small creators around 70,000 subscribers, tried to take the case and instantly backed off after Bricks and Minifigs threatened legal action and issued takedowns. This is the same strategy at a different scale: bully anyone who tries to expose them with the threat of litigation they cannot afford to defend. Brian, meanwhile, described months of anxiety attacks, hospital visits, and medication. He had concluded there was no path forward and that he simply had to let the collection go.
Figure 1. The loophole the corporation lived inside. As long as the dispute stayed "civil," police would not touch it and the family could not afford the courtroom. Reckless Ben's central insight was that he did not have to win in the civil lane. He had to manufacture a situation that dropped the same conduct into the criminal lane, where the police have no choice but to act.
Ben gets involved: spy glasses and an instant trespass
This is where Reckless Ben enters. He went to his car, picked up some friends, and started a sixteen hour drive to the store, vowing to do whatever it takes, even if it meant taking down the entire police force. Asmongold, who had never seen this creator before, is already bewildered by the energy: "Who is this guy?"
Ben arrived wearing spy camera glasses, because conventional filming would be shut down on sight, and went in claiming he was there to pick up his friend's Legos. The manager froze, told him to leave, and threatened to call the police for harassment. Ben had printed a copy of the consignment contract precisely so he would have a legal reason to be present. Asmongold is unsure this protects him: "I think the police can remove him because he's not legally representing the guy, but I'm not a lawyer." He also lands on the core moral observation that recurs all video: even if Ben's tactics are technically illegal, what the store is doing is a million times worse.
The manager refused to even look at the contract and finally gave her excuse: she was supposed to contact corporate. This sets up the structural trap Ben names the "infinite limbo with zero accountability." The local store says talk to corporate. Corporate says talk to the store owner. Ben had already driven to the corporate headquarters, where they told him on camera that the stores are independently owned and operated and that corporate "can't do anything with it here." Store points at corporate, corporate points at store, and the victim spins forever between them. Asmongold pushes back on corporate's claim, reasoning that with a franchise consignment contract the parent company should still bear some accountability, before honestly admitting he does not know the law.
Figure 2. The infinite accountability loop. Neither node ever owns the problem, so the victim never escapes the circle. Ben's eventual answer was not to break the loop but to clone it: he registered We Steal From Old People as "corporate" with five franchise owners, then deflected blame downward exactly the way Bricks and Minifigs deflected it, turning the company's own shield into his.
Within ten minutes of filming, the police arrived and trespassed both Ben and Brian from the property. Not just removed: trespassed for life, with arrest promised if they returned. Asmongold catches the absurdity sharply. He can understand trespassing the YouTuber as a third party, but trespassing Brian, who has a signed contract with that very store, from getting his own property back is "insanely wrong." The officer showed zero interest in the alleged $200,000 theft and treated Ben as the bad guy.
Escalation: the CEO lies on camera
Locked out of the store, Ben went back to the corporate offices, where the CEO of the entire company, Hammond McNeff, personally came out. Ben asked directly whether they were holding the Legos. McNeff said no. He said it never happened. When Ben named the consignor, Brian Mancell, and the roughly $200,000 in sets, the CEO repeated: "Never happened."
Ben then produced the company's own still-live social media posts identifying the sets as Brian Mancell's, worth $200,000, proving the CEO was lying on camera. Asmongold's takeaway is that the rot goes all the way to the top: even the CEO is in on the cover up. Ben offered McNeff the easy way, give the Legos back now, and warned the hard way would be far worse. McNeff threatened to call the police and accused Ben of extortion. With that, Ben says, Bricks and Minifigs made their choice. They picked the hard way. And because the police were protecting them, it was now the super hard way: returning to the store meant arrest.
Tactic one: building a Lego cult to flip an employee
Reviewing the footage, Ben concluded the store manager was not the mastermind, she was protecting the mastermind, and she was doing it because she was, in his framing, brainwashed by corporate loyalty. He claims his YouTube career involved infiltrating cults and experiencing intense brainwashing firsthand, so he decided he could brainwash a Bricks and Minifigs employee harder than corporate ever could. He announced he was starting a Lego cult, noting that a real cult never calls itself a cult, it disguises itself.
The execution is a small masterclass in manipulation tactics, laid out as a recipe. A friend named Victor was dressed up to look like a famous YouTuber so the employees would treat him as powerful. They staged a fake "balloon challenge" with a hundred dollar prize to lure an employee out of the store. The winning employee was told a local Lego club wanted to host an award ceremony for her, deep in the woods. There, Ben applied three documented cult techniques in sequence: first, make the recruit feel like the most special person in the world, crowning her the "Lego Queen" with chants; second, instantly give the recruit power, so they feel like a manipulator rather than the manipulated; third, perform a group ritual to make her feel one with the group, the "Brick by brick" chant that becomes the saga's recurring war cry.
Asmongold spends this stretch oscillating between horror and fascination, repeatedly saying he cannot tell whether it is real, calling it the smartest dumb thing he has ever seen. The payoff is concrete: with the employee won over, she revealed that after Ben's first visit her boss had called asking "How do we get them arrested?", confirmed the store still had the sets, and ultimately handed over the owner's phone number. The owner's name was Josh. With that number, the next phase could begin.
Tactic two: the stupidest loophole, and the rival company
Ben called Josh. Josh pretended not to know anything about any Star Wars sets that make up half his own store's inventory. When Ben texted a photo of the contract, Josh's defense finally surfaced, and Ben calls it the stupidest loophole he has ever heard: Josh claimed it was not his name on the contract, it was the previous owner's, so he never agreed to anything. This directly contradicts the security footage in which the new ownership acknowledged inheriting the obligation. Josh's response was to dare Ben to sue him.
That dare is the key to Josh's strategy. Brian had already consulted attorneys, who told him that getting an injunction to force the store to prove what it sold would cost $60,000 to $70,000, made worse by the original owner now living in Spain. Josh wanted to be sued because he knew the family could not afford it, and a civil suit keeps everything safely in the civil lane. Ben decided the only fair outcome was to make Bricks and Minifigs the ones whose lives get ruined, and that meant doing something deliberately illegal to bait them into suing him on his terms.
His method: steal their name. He took a Google Maps screenshot of the store sign, removed the boring tagline, and replaced it with "We Steal From Old People," then added a logo. His planned courtroom reveal was a piece of wordplay: his actual company name was "We Steal From Old People," and "Bricks and Minifigs" was merely his company's tagline, because no American law dictates whether a tagline sits above or below the company name. He registered We Steal From Old People as a real Oregon company, built a website at westealfromoldpeople.com with merch and fake glowing reviews, and used ChatGPT to calculate billboard dimensions so he could paste his logo exactly over the store's logo.
Then he turned the corporation's own defense against it. Since Bricks and Minifigs corporate had told him the franchises are independently owned and corporate is not responsible for what they do, Ben registered five franchises under We Steal From Old People and made each of his friends a franchise owner. Now whatever his "franchises" did, like climbing the building with pumpkins and a tarp to hang the rival logo, "corporate" could disclaim. Asmongold is gleeful at the symmetry: Ben built an entire fake corporate structure just to "uno reverse" the franchise deflection. This is where the 200 IQ to 2 IQ refrain crystallizes: the moves look idiotic, and they work anyway.
Ben then set up a merch booth directly outside the store entrance, with court papers pre-filled in case they sued, selling shirts and "We Steal From Old People barf bags" and physically diverting customers. When the police came again and tried to remove the booth, Ben deployed the deflection move for real: he answered as "corporate, We Steal From Old People," refusing to identify any individual person, exactly as Bricks and Minifigs had done to him. The police could not act. He even pulled a body double in identical clothes, also legally named Ben, to absorb a potential arrest while the real Ben fled into a freezing river. Asmongold, by this point, is in open awe, conceding "you guys were right, this is so good."
Tactic three: the raffle that turns civil into criminal
Back at corporate, the CEO refused to sue, leaving Ben stuck. Josh had already explained the whole shield on camera: "That agreement is not criminal. That agreement is now civil. So it's a civil matter." Ben distills the legal reality cleanly. A civil crime is the legal way of saying a business deal gone bad, which only the courts can resolve, and the police cannot touch. The police exist for criminal crimes, such as stealing from a lottery. So the plan, contributed by the group around a fire, was to manufacture a criminal act: stage a real, legally valid raffle using one of Brian's sets, and if Bricks and Minifigs kept the prize from the winner, they would no longer be in a business dispute, they would be stealing from a state regulated lottery.
Asmongold raises the obvious objection, that this is entrapment. Ben's answer is a genuine point of law: entrapment only applies to law enforcement. A private citizen cannot legally entrap someone, so a private citizen is free to set this kind of trap.
Making the raffle legitimate required real legwork, and Ben documents every step because the legitimacy is the whole point. Oregon raffles normally need a gambling license, which takes a long time, but the Oregon DOJ exempts nonprofits and registered religions. Ben already led a registered religion, "Scientology Sucks," officially approved in California, so he registered it in Oregon via a $3 PO box. Asmongold realizes this is a recurring bit, that Ben has done versions of this to Scientology before. Under ORS 167.17, a lottery requires that each participant pay something of value, or the scheme is disqualified. Ben solved that with a second piece of wordplay: because he was filming, he paid each participant a $1 appearance release fee, then charged a $1 raffle ticket, so the transaction nets to zero and nobody loses money while the legal requirement is still satisfied. Asmongold calls this specific maneuver "a masterwork."
The raffle ran, a family won a $1,000 Stormtrooper speeder set, and the group escorted the winners into the store to claim it. The manager, Amanda, refused to hand it over and told them to leave, openly stealing a prize from a little girl on camera. That refusal was the trap springing shut: it was no longer a civil matter, it was theft from a regulated lottery. Ben called the police, carrying the full raffle paperwork and the Oregon law book itself.
The corruption: the police refuse to follow the law
This is the darkest stretch of the video. At first one officer began taking notes and seemed prepared to investigate the "raffle thievery." Then a second officer whispered something in his ear, and the entire posture flipped. Suddenly Ben and the winning family were the suspects, trespassed for life, threatened with handcuffs. The officers reframed the legitimate raffle as a "falsified raffle," claimed Ben had no authority to give out a prize, and said they would simply stop talking and start cuffing.
Ben invoked the Fourth Amendment, which forbids arrest without a stated specific reason, and kept demanding to know what law he had broken. The officers talked in circles and could not articulate a charge. Ben describes the realization: his plan assumed the police would follow the law, and they simply did not. "In Kaiser, Oregon, the police don't follow the law." Because of the police, another family, the raffle winners, got scammed by Bricks and Minifigs, so Ben paid that family the value of the set out of his own pocket. The group even went to the police department to report the corruption, then realized they were asking corrupt police to investigate themselves, and were sent home. Asmongold's reaction is repeated, genuine disbelief that this is real.
The raffle did accomplish one thing. It rattled Josh, who called Ben in a panic. Ben warned him that the raffle was not fake, it was a real lottery scheme, and under Oregon law interfering with it is a Class B felony carrying up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Josh, now scared, started backpedaling on whether the Legos were even "stolen."
Step 1Spy glasses visit. Ben drives 16 hours, films the store on hidden glasses, gets trespassed for life within 10 minutes.
Step 2CEO confrontation. Hammond McNeff denies everything on camera; Ben shows the company's own posts proving the lie.
Step 3Lego cult. Stages a fake contest and woodland coronation to flip an employee, who hands over owner Josh's number.
Step 4We Steal From Old People. Registers a rival company plus five franchises to mirror and defeat the franchise deflection.
Step 5The raffle. Uses a registered religion and a $1 appearance fee to run a legal lottery that converts the civil theft into a criminal one.
Step 6Corrupt police. An officer is whispered to, flips the case, and trespasses the victims; Ben invokes the Fourth Amendment.
Step 7The apology trap. Josh demands an apology letter Ben recognizes as a legal get out of jail card; Ben sends a deepfaked decoy.
Step 8The signed contract. Amanda unknowingly signs a no-trespass and $5,000-per-call contract; the duty to read binds her.
Step 9Small claims swarm. Ben and friends become real separate victims, dodging claim splitting, and sue across many cases.
Step 10Default judgment. Bricks and Minifigs thinks it is fake, ignores the papers, loses by default, then closes the store to dodge paying.
Tactic four: the apology trap and the deepfake decoy
Josh briefly seemed to relent, saying he had set aside Brian's unsold sets and would give the stuff back. But the price was a written apology from Brian, removal of all negative comments, and positive reviews to repair the company's reputation. Brian refused, and not only out of pride. As Asmongold explains in lockstep with the video, apologizing would be admitting fault, which the company could later wield in court to argue Brian knew he was wrong and proceeded anyway. The apology letter was a trap, a get out of jail free card that would hand Bricks and Minifigs written evidence recasting Brian as the villain and removing any reason to return the Legos.
To test whether that was really the plan, Ben offered an apology video instead, and protected himself by faking it. He took a screenshot of Brian's face, ran it through a deepfake of a Sheldon video, and produced a fabricated "apology" that could never be used as genuine evidence in court. Asmongold immediately recognizes the move: "It wasn't him. That's the only way you could do this." This is also the moment Asmongold fully buys in, comparing Ben to a shirtless Viking berserker who shows up throwing axes, calling him a virtuoso and an artisan, and admitting he himself has a blind spot for this kind of reckless improvisation because he plans meticulously and would never just charge in.
Josh kept moving the goalposts. Now Ben also had to apologize to Amanda. Ben suspected another trap, given the employee's earlier warning that the owners were scheming to get him arrested. He got explicit recorded permission from Josh to enter the store to apologize, so that the prior consent would override the trespass and block any arrest. Sure enough, when he tried to make peace, Amanda called the police anyway. But the consent recording protected him, and after a wait the police never even showed up, choosing tacos over another Bricks and Minifigs call. The legal groundwork held.
Tactic five: the signed contract and the duty to read
The peace with Amanda never materialized, and Josh used that as the new excuse to keep the Legos, eventually changing his story entirely to claim the shelves were empty when he took over and he never had the sets at all, directly contradicting his own recorded promises to return the inventory while swearing to God. When Ben confronted him with his earlier statements, Josh exploded, told Ben to sue him, and threatened to tell the world Ben was the real thief.
So Ben deployed a card he says he had held the entire video. Disguised as a delivery driver needing a signature, he got Amanda to sign a contract without reading it. Under the American duty to read principle, signing a contract you did not read still binds you to every term. The contract stated that Amanda could not trespass Ben for any reason for the next ten years, and that for every police officer she called on him she owed $5,000 in liquidated damages. Fast forwarding through all her police calls, the tally reached $40,000. Ben, feeling bad, eventually came clean to Amanda and offered to drop the trick if she would team up to pressure corporate. When Amanda denied her own signature, the trap was already sprung: she could no longer call the cops on him for merely being present. Asmongold tracks every beat of this, half wincing at the manipulation and half marveling that it is airtight.
Tactic six: the small claims swarm and winning by default
With every other path blocked, Ben engineered what he calls option number three: small claims court. Small claims is cheap and fast, but Oregon caps it at $10,000 per case, far below the $200,000 collection. His friends initially hated the idea because $10,000 leaves $190,000 on the table. The naive fix, splitting the one claim among ten people, is illegal: it is called claim splitting, where a plaintiff divides a single lawsuit into many.
Ben's workaround is the cleverest legal maneuver in the video. Claim splitting only applies to one crime split across plaintiffs. But if ten genuinely separate victims each suffer their own distinct crime, all ten can sue individually and it is not claim splitting. So Ben created real, distinct victims. He took out a $10,000 bank loan on a new credit card, bought specific Lego sets from Brian for $10,000, and had a public notary stamp the purchase so the ownership was legally airtight. Now Ben was a separate victim with his own $10,000 of inventory inside the store, and his small claims case stood completely apart from Brian's. He repeated this with several friends, each buying $10,000 of Brian's Legos with loans.
The scheme threatened to collapse under the debt, until they realized Brian had just earned roughly $100,000 selling them the sets, so Brian loaned the money back to cover the bank loans, with paperwork promising repayment once the cases were won. The reason the whole circular money flow is legal: Oregon has no sales tax, so the sets can be sold back and forth endlessly with no penalty. Asmongold is floored to learn Oregon has no sales tax and that this is what makes the merry go round legal.
Then the timeline reveal. All of this had happened a month earlier as a flashback. While Ben was on a present-day call letting Josh believe he was bluffing in the moment, the lawsuits were already prepared. Because Josh thought it was all fake, Ben leaned in, even delivering a fake "Guinness World Record" award for "most Legos stolen by a single franchise" so that when real court papers arrived, the store would dismiss them as another joke. Bricks and Minifigs closed the store early to dodge service, but the papers got served anyway. Months passed with no response, and the court advised Ben to file a motion for default judgment. He won by default. Asmongold's reaction: "They really thought it was fake. We did it."
The bittersweet ending: a store closed, a collection still out there
There was a final twist. One day after the default judgment was filed, Bricks and Minifigs permanently closed the store. Asmongold and Ben both recognize this is not a clean victory. By shutting down, the company made itself effectively judgment proof, escaping the obligation to pay. As Ben puts it, the only winners that day were Bricks and Minifigs.
But there was a reputational reckoning. The company forgot to mark the store closed online, so customers and parents who had booked children's birthday parties kept showing up to an empty parking lot, generating a wave of negative reviews. Ben gave the store an "official closing ceremony" with a sign reading: "Permanently closed. We stole a family's life savings. They sued. We lost. By closing the store, we got out of having to pay the family what we owe them." A passerby photographed it, it went viral, and only then did the company mark itself permanently closed on Google. Local news covered the mysterious sign in Salem and Kaiser, Oregon.
The video ends unresolved. Brian still does not have his father's collection. Ben vows not to stop until every Lego is returned, teases an even wilder Part Two on his Patreon, mentions a feature length film too gnarly for streaming, says he is surrounded by cop cars, and asks for any Utah lawyers because he is in serious legal trouble. Asmongold closes by calling it possibly the best video he has ever seen, a "masterwork," dubbing Ben a "professional problem" and a "modern day Robin Hood." His prediction: the two and a half million views and the CEO's recorded lies could legitimately kill the company through public pressure, succeeding where the legal system failed. He refuses to watch Part Two yet because he wants no spoilers on what he is treating like the best show on television.

Key takeaways
The decisive vulnerability was the gap between civil and criminal law. As long as theft stays a "business deal gone bad," police will not act and the victim must self-fund a lawsuit the corporation can outspend. Ben's entire strategy was to drag the same conduct across the line into criminal territory.
Franchise structures can be weaponized as an "infinite accountability loop." The local store points to corporate, corporate points to the store, and the victim is trapped between them. Ben defeated it by mirroring it, building his own corporate-and-franchise shell to deflect blame exactly as the company did.
Creative legal maneuvering by a layperson sometimes beats well-funded attorneys, because the layperson is willing to do unconventional, high-variance things a lawyer never would. The "200 IQ to 2 IQ" moves keep working.
Several real points of law carry the plot: entrapment applies only to law enforcement; the duty to read binds you to unread contracts; nonprofits and registered religions are exempt from Oregon gambling licenses; claim splitting is illegal but multiple genuinely separate victims suing is not; and default judgment is automatic when a defendant ignores properly served papers.
Viral documentation can deliver accountability the courts do not. The lawsuit was technically dodged by closing the store, but the public exposure may do more lasting damage than any judgment could.
Never sign an apology to someone who wronged you during a live dispute. It can become written evidence of fault used against you.

A short closing
Strip away the Lego cult, the pumpkins, the freezing river, and the deepfake, and this is a clean argument about who the law actually serves. A corporation took a dying man's life's work and discovered it could keep it simply by staying on the civil side of a line and counting on a family that could not afford to cross it. Reckless Ben's whole genius was refusing to play that game on its terms and instead manufacturing the conditions, a real religion, a real raffle, real separate victims, a real signature, real lawsuits, that forced the same conduct into a lane where ignoring it was no longer an option. He did not get the Legos back inside this video, and the store escaped the bill by dying on purpose. But Asmongold's instinct is probably right: the lasting verdict here is not a court order, it is two and a half million people watching a CEO lie on camera, and a sign on a locked door telling the truth the company spent months denying.

Best video of the year. All right, I have no idea what to expect. Buckle up.
This man spent his life collecting what's now known as the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection ever. 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. 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.
At this point, my father had a health episode. We can't bring any stress to him. The reason he's reaching out to me is because the police are covering this entire thing up.
What the [ __ ]. And at this moment, I promised Brian that I would not end this video until I get his entire world record Star Wars collection back. But anyways, the thief of this collection is actually a corporation called Bricks and Minifigs. Bricks and Minifigs, the biggest toy store of its kind. It's the largest toy store. Bricks and Minifigs were not just your average Lego store. For collectors, Bricks and Minifigs is basically seen as the best and safest way to sell your Lego collections.
So, is this like GameStop or something like this for like Legos? I've never even heard of this store before. It is. Okay, got it.
My Legos. So, what I'm planning to do with them is take them to my local Bricks and Minifigs. Because there's so much positive media about them everywhere, thought that this would be the perfect store to finally sell his dad's Lego Star Wars collection. So, 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. This was a store worth of inventory. So that store that day was nothing but my dad's collection. So they just took the entire thing and put it in the store, all the shelves filled. They had to bring in extra shelves and filled the whole party room with shelves.
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. I reached out to corporate to let them know, hey, this is something that's coming up in the next like four to five months. She told the Bricks and Minifigs head corporation that she was planning on selling the store. So, the corporation actually was able to find a buyer to buy it from her. They let me know that they had somebody who was interested in purchasing a franchise in the area. He was going to be in town and he was going to stop by and just take a look at it. Wasn't until Brandon got there that he informed me that they were terminating my franchise agreement. We were getting threats from Brandon and from corporate that if we didn't leave the store immediately, the police were going to be called. I told corporate I wasn't comfortable leaving that night without the inventory. I was also told I was not going to be able to stay there long enough to do that inventory.
We don't just have to take this woman's word for it. She was actually able to save all the security camera footage from that night proving that. So she was left behind in transit of this really big deal and I guess some of this stuff is getting pocketed inside of the management transition. Is that, am I understanding what the accusation here is? Everything she just said is true. All the footage and evidence is there in the security cam footage. It's him at the store kicking her out.
In that footage they sent us is Crystal asking him, "How am I supposed to pay this guy? These are sets he has not been paid for. These are ones that he has not been paid his percentage yet. And if I don't have my tickets, I won't know how much I need to pay him." That's a business thing and not necessarily yours. If taking on the business, he takes on all that.
His own corporation is sitting there on video saying they're going to take it. And he's right about that because logically if the owner changes, he's signing a contract with the business, not with the specific owner, I'm assuming. So, it would make sense that yeah, obviously you inherit that obligation.
After this woman got kicked out of her own store, she called Brian explaining how corporate just came down and is now trying to take the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection without paying for it. So Brian called the store to see what was going on. Called the store and I said, "What happened to Crystal?" He goes, "Well, that's kind of a private matter, but the corporation's taken over the store. There's something I can do to help you with." They said, "Well, yeah. I am the owner of about half your store's inventory. All those vintage Star Wars sets you have in there are ours." And he goes, "Huh, I don't know anything about that." Said, "Well, you better get to learn about it because I have a contract. I have photo evidence, video evidence. That is our collection." So, I went down to the store, brought a copy of the contract. We're like, "You need to let me in back and let me see the sets that you still have. All you have to do is let me in back. We can go that route or we can go to court." And the guy just looks at me, crosses his arms, and goes, "Let me tell you what's going to happen. If we go to court, we're going to drag this thing out so long, and you're going to end up spending so much more money than your collection is ever worth or what you ever would have gotten out of it, then it ain't worth it, man."
So, he's trying to strongarm him into doing... Oh my god. So, if that's the route you want to go, and I go, "That's really the route you want to go rather than just letting me walk in there." Isn't that on the security camera footage? What the [ __ ]. Dang. What am I to do at that point?
Bricks and Minifigs knows that this family, especially with the father's health, doesn't have the resources to take them to court. And almost mockingly, they've since flooded all of their social media with tons of pictures of Star Wars Legos at this point. So, they're rubbing their face in it even. Holy [ __ ]. It seems like they're just rubbing it in this family. They stole the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection in the world and they got away with it. Everybody is absolutely baffled. 25 likes. How the hell can a corporation get away with doing that? Exactly. They can't. And why are the cops not helping?
But 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 mini figs. Figure out how to get this guy his money and his stuff back. But right after they started, they instantly stopped working on this case. So I called one of them to find out why. So they were threatening legal action against us. Bricks and Minifigs, which is a pretty big company, who probably has way more resources than we can really put up a fight against. Bricks and Minifigs knows that, so they DMCAed or they shut it down, just bully anyone that tries to expose them with frivolous lawsuits. And this left Brian feeling... And I feel like these guys are pretty small creators. This guy's got 70,000 subs. So you're not going to be able to flex up against this big company. Pretty hopeless.
It eats me alive. I had terrible anxiety attacks over it. Got put on medication. I just kind of was like, "Okay, I just have to let these freaking things go right now." Cuz there was just it didn't seem like I have any path to go. Well, it's obvious what's happening, right? His dad is, this guy's old, right? He's like probably in his 40s and so he's married, everything. So, he's having to deal with his dad's deteriorating health. They're selling his collection probably to pay for his... this is awful. How can anything be worse than this? When you're 40, your parents are probably like 70 or 80. You know, that's old.
Well, I guess now it's time for me to get involved. So, immediately I went to my car, picked up some friends, and started driving 16 hours to this Bricks and Minifigs store, and I will do literally whatever it takes. What the. Who is this guy? Even if I have to take down the entire police force, I will stop at nothing until this family gets their entire Lego Star Wars collection back.
And now, 16 hours later, we're finally pulling up to the Bricks and Minifigs store. So, I started a pair of spy camera glasses. That's what I'm going to use to film this. And honestly, I kind of just want to hear Bricks and Minifigs' side of the story. "Hi, how's it going?" "Pretty good. How about yourself?" "It's pretty good. So basically my friend said that you guys have some of his Legos, I think, and he told me to come here and see if I could pick them up." "Who's your friend?" "I think they're Brian's Legos. It's like a big Star Wars collection set, I think." "Uh-oh. You could go ahead and leave now." "Really?" "So, you could go ahead and leave now or I will call the police for harassment." "Well, I'm not harassing you." "No, you are." "Hi. Hi. You want to watch the cameras? I'm being harassed. Watch the cameras. I am being harassed. You need to leave."
Literally, all I did was just bring up that my friend has some Legos in their store, and the manager started freaking out on me. But I wasn't going to leave the store without hearing her side of the story. Before showing up, I printed out a copy of the contract the store made with Brian, saying that all of these Lego sets will remain his until sold. Because I have a contract, a legal reason to be here, legally, this does not count as harassment.
That's not... I think actually he's wrong on this. So, I think the police can remove him because he's not legally representing the guy, but again, I'm not a lawyer. I'm not the police. I have no idea. And this situation is such a... it's very obvious that he's in the right morally even though very clearly maybe this is technically illegal. What they're doing is a million times worse, right?
The manager should be checking the store's inventory to see if these sets are still in their store. "Well, so here's still all of the Lego sets you still have." "I don't have anything to do with that and I don't want that. You can go ahead and leave. And I'm going to ask you one more time. This is the last time. I do not want that. You're not handing me anything."
I tried for a long time just to get her to look at this contract, but finally she gave me an answer of why she can't help me. "Supposed to be getting a hold of corporate." Basically, what the manager is saying is that if someone did steal the Legos, it wasn't her. It was corporate. Little does the manager know, I already did this. Yep. I literally went to the corporate Bricks and Minifigs headquarters to go. And this was corporate side of the story. "You have to talk to the store owner." Like the local one, right? Okay. So, yeah. Go talk to the store owner. Store owner says you have to talk to corporate. You go talk to corporate, corporate says talk to the store owner. It's the infinite limbo with zero accountability. "Of course, we own and operate it. We can't do anything with it here. Their decisions are their decisions for sure." "So when they say go to corporate, how do we respond next time?" "I have no idea. You have to take it up with them. It's your thing with them. That doesn't involve us."
So I showed the manager what corporate Bricks and Minifigs said. When I don't even think that's true, by the way. Because if you're taking on a consignment of a contract and then the contract is owned and made with Bricks and Minifigs then they would be accountable for it like a franchise. I think that they're still account... it's limited... I don't... you know what, actually the truth is I really don't know the answer to that. It seems like they would be accountable for it but I'm not a lawyer so I don't know.
"Corporate tells me this, I'm supposed to come back to the store, right? And so it kind of seems like you're going against what corporate's saying." "That's fine." "Oh, this is what corporate told us." "That's what corporate told us. For the last time, I'm asking you to leave the store."
They need to get a reason to leave, I guess. They should immediately get a... I'm sure this is the video's just beginning, right? Asking several reason. They need to have a legal lawyer involved.
It kind of seems like the only reason she's asking me to leave the store is to cover up this $200,000 theft. "You need to leave. How many times have you been asked to leave?" "Was there a reason you're asking me to leave?" "You need to leave. I've asked you to leave. You need to leave. I've asked you how many times to leave. I've been asking him to leave."
Eventually, the owner of the store called in and asked if you could talk to me. "Are you the owner of the Bricks and Minifigs store?" "Yeah. Why? What you got?" "So, basically, I just wanted to get some of the Legos back that you guys still have. I think I'm looking for the clone turbo tank." "Why do you think he would be entitled to our inventory?" "Because it's in the contract."
At least I confirmed the Legos are still here. The only thing is the owner's claiming that he's the owner of these Lego sets. I mean, it's pretty stupid of him to say that considering I'm literally holding a copy of a contract he made with the store that said that this Lego Star Wars collection is not the store's property, it's the family's property. The contract makes all of this very clear. So, I want to give him one more chance to answer a little bit better. "Well, I just want to get it back to my friend. He said he couldn't get it back, so I was just wondering if I could just come pick him up. Cuz you guys still have them, right?" "True. Why do you think your friend would be entitled to our inventory?" "He owns the Legos." "Huh? He doesn't own the Legos." "Well, yeah, we have a contract. He does own them." "No, bro. Are you an idiot? Are you stupid?"
"Josh, the police are showing up right now." I'm going to be honest. I think this is a communication error. I don't think that... it's very hard for me to understand what's happening because obviously I just watch it.
"Hey, how's it going?" Well, at least the police are here now. So once I show them the contract we're in with the store, we can finally get the Legos back. "Basically, we have I think it's like $200,000 worth of Lego sets that we just have in the store and we just would like to pick them up, I guess, cuz they were going to sell it for us, but I guess they're not selling it for us anymore." "Um, but doesn't sound like they want you here, right?" "Well, but they have our sets though." "Understand that. Right here, the fact there is that they don't want you. They're privately owned store and they don't want you on the..." "But I don't want them to keep the Lego sets though." "Okay. So yeah."
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... "I mean, yeah. Then why can't you just go get the Legos then?" Like I was the bad guy. "So you are trespassing here. Tres for life. So if you come back..." "Oh, for life?" "Yeah. If you come back, you could be arrested." "Oh, so how do I get the Legos back then if I can't go in the store?" "Okay, we talked about that. So you understand the transport portion. If you come back, you will be arrested. So again, if you come back, run the cop, we're going to arrest you."
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.
What's crazy is that he's trespassed. I could understand the YouTuber getting trespassed because it's a third party, but if this guy is trespassed on a property that he made a contract with, there's something that's insanely wrong. That's nuts.
"I guess a reason why they're able to just take all the Legos and not give it back. So we just got to leave." "Leave. So completely not. Okay. I'm not allowed to be in the park?" "No. So this is all private property." "Oh, okay." "It's complete insanity. I know."
We've been filming for 10 minutes and I'm already trespassed from Bricks and Minifigs, which is the whole location of the video. So, how do I film a video at Bricks and Minifigs now if I can't even legally go back there? "Yeah, they ain't talking."
So, to continue the video without getting arrested, I went back to Bricks and Minifigs corporate offices and the Bricks and Minifigs CEO, the guy who runs the entire company, Hammond McNeff, he personally came out to talk to us. "So, what's going on here?" "So, you guys are holding some of our Legos?" "No, we're not." "You're not?" "No." "Is that a lie?" "That's a lie." "You did take the Legos." "No, you... so we have our attorneys have visited..." "Well, like again, so who's like..." "Brian Mancell?" "Okay. And who is that?" "He's a guy who had a bunch of... He had like $200,000 worth of Legos in your guys' store." "Never happened."
This is the CEO. Oh my god. It did happen. Yeah, it did happen. "No, we did not." "Yeah, cuz his lawyers were in the store and you guys took them. I know you think lying to us right now is kind of like helping you out." "I'm not lying to you. Show us the contract." "We both know you're lying, but..." "We don't know that."
So, I showed him some social media posts his own company made that are still up that claim that these are Brian Mancell's Lego sets. And these Lego sets that they're still holding on to are worth $200,000, are from his own company. We just caught the CEO of the entire company red-handed in a lie. Yeah, it's crazy to me that even the CEO is in on this cover up.
But anyways, now that we just caught the CEO in the lie, I wanted to let him know that it's going to be much easier if he just gives us the Legos back now. "If you just want to give it back now, it's going to be a lot easier for you guys. You know, I think you guys would prefer the easy way. The hard way, I don't think you guys are really going to like it." "No." "But we're getting it back either way. So, it's like you can either..." "You can leave. If you come back here, we will call the cops. If you don't leave right now, I will call the cops." "So, you don't want to do the easy way." "So, you're threatening me. What you are doing right now is illegal. It's an extortion." "So catching you guys in illegal activity, that's illegal on me?" "Okay. You've been asked to leave, please."
And with that, Bricks and Minifigs has made their decision. I presented them very politely with the easy way and they said, "Heck no." "Yeah, just give us this stuff back. It's really simple." Well, they've only left me one other option, which is the hard way. But now it's pretty much the super hard way because the police are protecting them. If I ever go back to the store, I'm getting arrested.
So, we all regrouped together to re-watch the footage I've gotten so far. And there was one thing the manager said that might be a way forward for us. "I have not heard anything from the owners, so you need to leave." "Can I talk to the owners then?" "You go ahead and call the owners." "Do you have their number?" "I'm not giving it to you." "Why won't you give it to me?" "Talk to the owners." "Okay. What's their phone number?" "You can't have it."
Like really, what the [ __ ] is this? Yeah, I don't know why. Guys, I'm totally on board with what y'all are saying. Where is the lawyer? There should have like the first three minutes of this video should have been, "And I talked to an attorney." Maybe it is. Isn't that the logical next step?
Basically, she's putting all of the blame on the owner of the store, which is good to find out. The only problem is she's not giving me the owner's number. "Yeah. If you could give me a number, we can call." "I'm not giving you anything except for calling the police." "But you told me to call the owners, right?" "You're absolutely right. But I've asked you how many times to leave the store." "But you have his number." "No, I don't have any of their numbers."
That's why I was like, corporate keeps telling me to contact the owners of the store, but with no contact info. So, I try to contact the store and the store hangs up on me and says I'm harassing them. The manager is really trying to protect the store owner from getting in trouble. So, if she's not going to give me his number, I'm just going to have to find it a different way. When she hands me the phone, we might be able to see his name and number. "Josh Lego."
Well, we found out the owner's name is Josh. However, the number was way too blurry on the spy glasses. "No, it's so blurry." So, I checked the store's Instagram to see if it follows anyone named Josh, which it doesn't. So, I checked their business records, but everything got scrubbed. This owner is really going to any length he can to stay fully anonymous.
After watching the footage over and over, my final conclusion is, yeah, the manager sucks, but she's not really the mastermind to this whole thing. She's just protecting the mastermind of this whole thing because she's brainwashed. But luckily for me, through my YouTube career, I've infiltrated tons of cults, and I've personally experienced some of the most intense and crazy brainwashing in the entire world.
Basically, what the. I never... this is the first video I've ever seen of this guy before. I didn't even know... Oh my god. What I'm trying to say is I'm pretty sure that I could brainwash one of these Bricks and Minifigs employees way harder than any corporate offices could. And yes, that's the plan. Brainwash the Bricks and Minifigs employees to be on my side. Yeah, I'm starting a Lego cult. I mean, a true cult would never actually call themselves a cult. They always disguise themselves as something else. Yes, I'm actually just starting all this over. Yep, that's what we're calling it.
My friend Victor is going to be the cult recruiter. I dressed him up to look like a famous YouTuber so he would look powerful and the employees here will have to listen to him. "My name's Victor. We're going to Bricks and Minifigs. Let's go. All right, guys. We are heading into the store right now." He was doing amazing. We had to make sure that these employees know that Victor is the real deal. "Dude, that's crazy. Dang. Let's go. Yo, we got a fan over here. One, two, three. Toys for everyone. Real quick pick. Hey, I'll send you that clip later. All right."
So far, everything we had set up was working perfectly. But now we have to come up with some type of way to get one of these employees out of the store so we can brainwash them. "Hey, what's going on? So, we're filming a quick video. Maybe you and her want to do like some kind of challenge for like a hundred bucks." "I mean, sure. I'm down for that. I just... what's happening right now?"
He's doing the challenge. Oh, yeah. The balloon challenge. "Three, two, one, yellow. Go, go, go, go, go, go." And these employees started their YouTube challenge. And yeah, I'm just going to fast forward to this part.
Wait a minute. So, they invented all of this. This is crazy. So, they invented this entire narrative just so they could get contact with the employees. Holy [ __ ].
All you really need to know is that this girl ended up winning. "High five. Sweet. So, now I'm going to call my producer. So, we have the winner right over here. We're partnering with the local Lego club and we're going to do like an award ceremony. The Lego club wants to host the award ceremony for you."
And just like that, she's in. So, we traveled deep into the woods and waited for this employee to show up. There's no way this is real, right? And with that, our new cult member has arrived. "The Lego queen." Yeah, she's the Lego queen.
Okay, wait a minute. Can we just talk about... yeah, you want a competition and what you have to do is you have to meet us out in the middle of the woods. I'm sorry. This is crazy. How do you get somebody to do this? I thought that the people that would believe this got removed from natural selection like 3,000 years ago, right? You would assume that this would have kind of worked itself out many, many moons ago. But how is this still happening? It's a woman. Yeah.
One, they have to be open to it. And most cults achieve this by making the new recruit seem like the most special person in the entire world. "Best employee of Bricks and Minifigs. The winner goes to this queen. Lego Queen. Lego Queen. Lego Queen." Another thing I've personally seen a lot of cults do is they instantly give new recruits power. "Man United has just joined the organization." If people feel powerful, they're less likely to think that they're the ones that are being manipulated. So, we got to give this girl some power. "You give me power." "Yes." "Yeah. Give me power." "Queen says jump. I feel like I can do anything I want. Just step on the Lego. Beautiful dock pile."
This is so ridiculous. I don't even know if it's real. This is insane. What the. Bro, just wait. I don't know.
Lastly, all cults do group rituals to make you feel like one with the group. So now we have to become one with this Bricks and Minifigs employee. "Brick by brick. Brick by brick. Brick by brick. BRICK BY BRICK." And now the employee is fully brainwashed. Okay, maybe not fully brainwashed. We definitely did a lot better job at brainwashing her than corporate Bricks and Minifigs did. So hopefully now I'm finally safe to bring up these Star Wars Lego sets. "We heard something about like some Star Wars set. Do you know anything about that?" "I know some of it. They were going to reimburse him for everything and then I think they did and he's still upset about everything which I get." "They reimbursed him for everything?" "Yeah. We don't have any of his stuff on the shelves. Yeah. We don't have any of it."
But just like every other cult member out there, these employees have been told a lie and are now willing to pretty much die to defend this lie.
It worked. The thing is this is so ridiculous that I can't even believe it. Really? What the [ __ ] is this?
Oh, she's been brainwashed even harder by our cult. Our cult is now going to give her the freedom to finally be able to think logically about this situation. "So we think they've been lying to you. So these were all the sets in the store and they're all metadata timestamped." "Wait, we do have these ones? Yeah, those are all his." "No, some of them I think we do still have." "Yeah, I know you guys do. You showed me one of them when I asked." "Did I? Wait. Thought the cops called on you?" "Yeah. All I did was..." "You know what's really funny is after you left, I got a call from my boss and it was like, how do we get them arrested?"
How do we get them arrested? Now that we have a Bricks and Minifigs employee on our side, it's time to finally complete our mission and get Josh the owner's number.
She's completely... she's been totally bamboozled. I don't even... Holy [ __ ]. This has to be fake or something. How's this even real?
"Yeah, I do. Did he give me Josh's number? Can I take a picture of it? Oh, nice." Well, now that I have the owner's number, it's time to act. "Dude, this guy rolled like four nat 20s in a row. This is crazy. Give him a call." Who is this guy? "Hello, this is Josh." "Hello. I'm just calling to get my Legos back. I think they told me to talk to you about it." "Oh, okay. Yeah. What Lego?" "I think it's the Star Wars set. I have a list. I can kind of pull it up. I was just wondering how we can get them back. Can I just walk in the store and..." "I don't know what Legos you're talking about, dude. What Lego? What are you talking about?" "I think one of them's called like the Super Trooper set." "I don't know what you're talking about." "You don't?"
Since Josh was pretending to not remember any of the Star Wars sets that make up half of his store's inventory, I decided to send him over a picture of the contract. "What contract is it? I didn't sign a contract. I didn't sign that agreement. I didn't agree to anything in that."
And now I finally understand the legal loophole that Josh is using to get away with this. It's probably the stupidest loophole I've ever heard in my entire life. Josh is claiming that it's not his name on the contract, it's the previous owner's. Which makes no sense because in the security camera footage, he tells the previous owner that he's going to be the one taking over the contract. "Taking on the business, he takes on all that."
I guess this is some sort of just contract loophole he's trying to use to steal the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection. "In order for me to be under contract, I have to sign something." "Or you have to take it over from the previous owner, right?" "Nope. That's not how the law works." "Yeah, it is." "It is?" "So, if that's how the law works, then sue me for it. You don't just want to give the Legos back? Let's go to court. I'm calling the police right now and you guys are going to be arrested for harassment."
I was surprised at how much the owner wanted us to sue him. He wants this because Brian already tried to sue him and it didn't work. "We've been to 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 in Spain, so we're getting into that whole international thing. Just to have an injunction on the store to have them go back and prove what they sold or not. That's like $60 to $70,000."
Bricks and Minifigs knows that Brian and his dad don't have nearly enough resources to sue a company as big as Bricks and Minifigs. "He's like, we're going to keep these. You're going to walk away from this. You're not coming back, and if you choose to sue us, we will drag this out in court till it is well past what this collection is worth."
So, let's lay out the puzzle pieces really quick. That's insane. If Brian and his dad sue Bricks and Minifigs, it's going to ruin their lives. And by the way, this Bricks and Minifigs company has been treating this family... I only think it's fair if they're the ones that get their lives ruined.
In order to make things right, it looks like we got to do this. Now, Bricks and Minifigs has their life ruined. And you can see Brian and us, we are the ones now doing the illegal activity. So, I told my group the plan. We have to do something illegal. "That's why you said you didn't want to do anything illegal, right?" "Well, but the thing is they're getting screwed because of it because they would have to upfront the cost and then if they take us to court then... I'm down for the illegal stuff."
And the group is in. So now it's time to do an illegal business move against Bricks and Minifigs. Let's just hope that they take the bait and sue us. "What I was thinking is what's the easiest way to get them to sue us? We steal their name." That's good. Oh man.
First, I went to Google Maps and took a screenshot of the sign outside their store. I got rid of their tagline cuz it's boring. And I changed it to "We Steal From Old People." 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. Once we're in court, we can finally hold Bricks and Minifigs accountable for stealing the world's largest Star Wars Lego collection. Of course, they're also going to try and get me in trouble. But this is where I'm going to make my grand reveal. You see, this entire time my company name was actually called We Steal From Old People. Yeah, the words 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. So, I'm just allowed to do this.
This guy. What's so crazy is that this dude goes from like 200 IQ to 2 IQ back and forth, but the two IQ moves that he makes work. And so I don't know, maybe he's going from 200 IQ to 400 IQ and I just can't even comprehend it. This is insane.
And now, because I'm actually not stealing their name, it's going to be so easy for me to win this court case. And Brian's going to get his entire Star Wars Lego collection back. So, I registered We Steal From Old People as an official Oregon company. And now that my company's legally approved, I made a website and you can visit us at www.westealfromoldpeople.com. You can help support us by buying some of our We Steal From Old People merch or give us a call. And as you can see, we have great reviews.
And so now to promote this website, I'm going to put my company logo directly over top of the Bricks and Minifigs company logo. So I ask ChatGPT what the dimensions of this billboard is. Sick. I'm making my logo the exact same dimensions. Oh my god, it looks exactly the same.
This is where we started to realize we are taking this way further than just a bad business practice. I'm pretty sure putting my logo over their logo is actually criminally illegal. Luckily for us though, if we go back to the beginning of the video, Bricks and Minifigs actually gave us a solution of how any company pretty much can get away with this. "They're all locally owned and operated. We can't do anything with it here. Their decisions are their decisions for sure." "So, when they say go to corporate, how do we respond next time?"
So, basically, if you put all the blame on your lower franchises, you're safe. So, I registered five franchises under my We Steal From Old People company. "I'm supposed to be the owner of the first company." "Ooh. I want to be an owner." "Congratulations. You're a franchise owner. If you choose to put a bunch of banners on their store, I can't get in trouble for anything."
Yeah. Every one of my friends is now a legal franchise owner of We Steal From Old People. Brick by brick. This is so ridiculous. The smartest retards ever. Each of my franchise owners is allowed to make their own decisions of how they want to run the company. And what they've decided is that they're getting two pumpkins and they're going to use these pumpkins to support this tarp and they're going to climb up the Bricks and Minifigs building and they're going to hang our logo over top of their logo. And I basically just sit down here.
Dude, he just doesn't give a [ __ ]. He just doesn't give a [ __ ]. Yeah. "Have my franchise owner. And we did it." And the sign is way too small. What the heck, ChatGPT. Yeah, I miscalculated the size. So maybe it'll work for now.
So we're still going on with the plan. Two. One. Let's go. We're setting up a Bricks and Minifigs We Steal From Old People company booth right outside of their entrance. If anyone wants to walk into the Bricks and Minifigs store, they have to get through me and my merch. I have all the court papers already filled out if they want to sue me. Hopefully, they take the bait. "What up? You want to buy some merch?"
So he's trying to get the... Wow. This is two IQ again. There's like no way this is going to work, right? This seems like the worst idea ever in like five different ways. Trust the process. Okay, I'm going to trust the process, guys.
"Yeah. We also got some We Steal From Old People barf bags because honestly, what they're doing in this store is so gross. It's probably going to make all the customers throw up. You want a large?" We stopped a customer from going into Bricks and Minifigs and he left with our merch. It was going pretty good and I was stopping a lot of customers from entering the actual Bricks and Minifigs. Okay, I might just be out here all day. It was almost going too well.
It's basically the end of the day now. They haven't really seen me because these windows are tinted, I guess. In order to get the store's attention, my friend Jay is going to walk into the store just pretending to be a normal customer and ask what's going on. "Is this the main store or is it the one that's out front?"
I am in awe. You guys were right. This is so good.
"What are you... is this the main entrance?" "No, no, no. I'm saying like the counters. There's two. There's one here and then one outside." "Yo, there's a guy selling stuff out in front. I don't know what he's selling." "Wait, what?" "Hello? You want to buy a shirt?" "You can't be out here doing this." "If you want to buy one, I give you 50% off if you want." "No, you cannot be out here doing this." "Why not?" "Were you the guy that was just trespassed out of here?"
She's calling the cops right now. Uh-oh. The police are here. This is a problem. The police told me yesterday that if I ever come back to the store in my lifetime, I'm getting arrested. "If you come back, you will be arrested. Okay. You understand?"
But as you can see, they still haven't sued me. I can't just give up on the plan before being sued. So, I did a switcheroo with this guy. He's wearing my exact same clothes. His legal name is also Ben.
They just don't give a [ __ ]. These guys. Oh my god. Find out that they caught the wrong Ben. I'm going to be super far away. It was so cold. Okay, I couldn't get that far away. The water was freezing, but I think I got far away enough at least.
But anyways, back to the store. The police instantly tried removing our booth because us stealing their name is very illegal. But if we want to get away with this crime, all we have to do is copy Bricks and Minifigs. We have to put all of the blame on an anonymous corporate person. And then when they ask who corporate is, we just don't tell them. "Police wanted to speak to the corporate." "Oh, hello. This is corporate. We Steal From Old People. How's it going?" "You do what?" "Well, the corporation's called We Steal From Old People. And our tagline is Bricks and Minifigs. We're a legitimate business." "What? Who am I talking to?" "This is corporate." "I know it's corporate, but who are you?" "Corporate. We Steal From Old People." "No, I know who you are. I mean, who are you the person?" "Oh, I'm just the owner that runs it." "Who am I talking here?" "This is the owner of We Steal From Old People. It kind of seems like a civil matter, doesn't it?"
And now Bricks and Minifigs finally gets a taste of their own medicine. They're now in a situation the police can't help them with. The only way this will ever end is if they sue us. How are you kidding me? How did these things... I... What?
So I went back to the Bricks and Minifigs corporate offices to see if the CEO of this company would sue me. "Going about things the way that you continue to do this is not the right way. Do you understand that?" "So what's the right way then?" "Do you understand? The harassment style that you have conducted and bragging to people that you've vandalized the store and done other things along those lines. That's not the right way." "Well, I never vandalized the store, but..." "People have told us that you have." "I mean, whatever my franchises do underneath me, I guess that's... I can't really control them. I'm just corporate, I guess."
Oh my god, bro. Really? You actually went and set up five companies just to uno reverse this random [ __ ].
"Are you a registered franchise? You guys have FDDs and everything else in various states. What states are you registered in?" "Oregon." "You're a registered franchise?" "Yeah, I'm actually a franchise owner of the franchise, too."
The CEO of this company knows pretty much better than anyone that he can't get us in trouble for what we're doing because we can always just keep passing the blame onto our lower franchises. We're just doing the exact same thing he's doing. "Brick by brick by brick." "Okay. Okay, dude."
That is a defeated man.
"But yeah, it's like a legal organization. We have legal franchises and everything. It's 100% by the books." "I get what you're doing. I appreciate that you think you're being very clever and that you think that you can do all sorts of..." Is this about to be the villain monologue? "...stuff this way. But you have no business being here." "Well, we do have business. You guys have a bunch of our Legos."
Well, if Bricks and Minifigs is not going to sue me, then I guess we have to settle this outside of court, which is going to be hard because right now Bricks and Minifigs has somehow convinced the police that they aren't criminals. They just participated in a bad business deal. I mean, Josh has literally already exposed their entire plan to me of how they're planning on getting away with this. "That agreement is not criminal. That agreement is now civil. So, it's a civil matter. It's not criminal. And I have extensive legal..."
Basically, a civil crime is just the legal way of saying a business deal gone bad, which if this truly was just a business deal gone wrong, you would have to settle this through the court. The police aren't able to do anything. We have the police to solve criminal crimes such as stealing from a lottery. That's a criminal crime that the police would have to investigate. So, here's the plan. "What if we do a lottery?" Yes. First, Brian donates one of his sets to a lottery. Someone wins the lottery. And then if Bricks and Minifigs keeps the prize for themselves instead of giving it to the winner, they have now just stolen from a lottery. Now it's not a business deal.
At this point you just have to trust the plan. That's clearly entrapment. Entrapment only works when you're law enforcement. You can't entrap somebody if you're not law enforcement.
They're actually interfering with a state regulated lottery scheme which is now a criminal offense that the police would have to investigate. He's loving this. That's interesting. It turns out this is completely legal for us to do. "You still own the Legos, correct?" "Technically, we own all of those." "So, it would be legal for you to auction your Legos off, right? If you still are the owners, right?"
To make sure everything was legally legit, I registered for a gambling license, which... yeah. It actually takes a long time to get one of these, which sucks. But on the DOJ website, it says that if you're a nonprofit or religion, you actually don't need a license. It'd be cool to use my new We Steal From Old People company, but I already made my first dollar when I was selling stuff outside the Bricks and Minifigs store. And then I used that money to buy food from a robot. Luckily for me, I'm already the leader of a religion. Called Scientology Sucks.
Let me guess, this is the last episode of him doing this same thing to Scientology. There are like levels to this.
Officially approved in California which is another problem. I guess technically I need to register in Oregon for this to work. So registered for a PO box which cost $3. Okay. I'm pretty sure I lost everyone, but all you need to know is that I put a lot of work into making sure that this is a legal legit raffle. That means that if Bricks and Minifigs decide to steal from this raffle, they have now committed a criminal crime, which the police are required to investigate. They should have just given the Legos back.
"I want everyone's attention. We're doing a Lego raffle. This Lego set is worth $1,000." Pretty much instantly, we were a hit. And everyone wanted to win this Lego set. But there's a problem. Under ORS 167.17, each participant must pay something of value in order for this to be considered an official lottery. We're about to charge lots of people money just to maybe be the next victim of Bricks and Minifigs, but we have to charge them money. And if we don't, then it'll actually disqualify our lottery. And the plan we came up with to get the Legos back won't work.
But then we realized, wait, we're filming this entire event. We can just give each person $1 as their appearance release fee. "A dollar for you on camera. There you go." So now when they buy a $1 ticket, the transaction cancels out and each person lost $0.
An appearance release fee is a dollar. The entry is a dollar. This is a masterwork. I am just truly... I'm really impressed. This is incredible. It really is.
"You get a dollar for being on camera and then the raffle is a dollar though. So, would you like to pay a dollar for the raffle? Okay. Awesome. So, here's your ticket." "So, what's your business?" "We're with the Church of Scientology Sucks."
Finally, it was time to pick our winner. "We are about to see who the winner is right now. We have the winning ticket right here. 5 3 9 7 7." "Is that mine?" "You won."
"Are you aware?" Well, this family legally won this prize. So now if Bricks and Minifigs doesn't get them the prize, they're committing a criminal crime which could land them in jail. "The Lego set is in a place called Bricks and Minifigs. It's right down the street and we can pick it up."
We drove to the store as fast as we could. We met up with the family and went inside to help them claim their prize. "I'm here to give these people their prize of a Stormtrooper speeder set." "Well, actually..." "These people, my sister, he won." "From who?" "I'm conducting this raffle. And you guys have the prize here." "I don't know anything about that."
To inform Amanda of the business deal her store is in, we showed her all of the raffle paperwork and the family who won this Lego set. "Like, I can't leave without it." "Um, yeah, you can. You can have a good day."
Amanda has just made it very clear. Instead of giving this family the Lego set they legally won, her company is going to steal it. "You're stealing $1,000 from a little girl." "Yep." "Stealing money from a kid. Do you find that evil at all or that's just how you want the business to look?"
Amanda now has to cover up this crime her store committed. So, she thought the best way to do this was to kick everyone out of the store. "That guy is not supposed to be here."
Wait, she's not going to give him... But good thing for us, this isn't a civil crime anymore. Amanda just stole from a lottery. Now that they have officially committed a criminal crime, it's time to get the police involved. "This company just stole the prize from our lottery."
And now the police are here, but for some reason I think they thought that I was the criminal. "Is this typically how you treat victims if they get their prize stolen? Do you have ID or anything on you?" "No." "What's your date of birth?" "12/30, 1995. Did we commit a crime?" "Figure that out right now."
The police were very confused on who the actual criminals in this situation were. So, we explained everything to them. "I'm supposed to be getting this prize from here. And they're not going to give it to me." But the police don't just have to take our word for it. I'm carrying all of the legal raffle paperwork. "Of course you are. Of course you're carrying it. Why wouldn't you be carrying it?" Plus the Oregon law book that specifically states this is a criminal crime the police are required to investigate.
Sovereign citizens could never. A DOJ approved raffling scheme is a criminal offense which the police have to investigate.
Now that the police have seen the law, they actually agree that a crime has been committed. They're now finally going to do a police investigation on this Lego theft. The investigator started by taking some notes. "They're selling stuff cuz they're thieves and stole stuff. A raffle. Okay. And we need to investigate some sort of raffle thievery."
He actually got the police guy to... It actually... this is crazy. Brick by brick. He started taking notes until another police officer came and whispered in his ear. I don't know what he said to him, but whatever it was, it made them all completely change their attitude. "And you're trespassing the property for life. Okay? Come back, you're going to go in handcuffs. Go to jail." "Would they trespass you?" "But we're just trying to claim our prize." "You guys have no right or have no connection to the story." "Well, yeah, we do. They have our prize, so there's a connection." "That is a civil issue, please." "No, it's not."
This officer is trying as hard as he can to cover up this crime, but I wasn't going to let him. But eventually he said if I don't let him cover up this crime I'm... arrested.
Somebody in chat said you should get his body cam to see what he said. Yeah, that's a good point. I wonder what he actually said.
"We really want to dive down this deep. We're trying to get some... Okay, we're going to start looking at you guys falsified a raffle. Whatever raffle looks like." "Well, here's the thing, it's not a falsified raffle. We have all the legal paperwork." "You don't have authority to give out a prize. We're just going to get to the point that we're not going to have these conversations. We're just going to put you in handcuffs. Are we all on the same page?"
Yeah. I'm not going to let the police just cover up this crime. I'm going to get this Lego set to the rightful winner. "First off, we do have the authority to do this raffle. So, we are legally done for the night." "No, we don't." "It's actually required by you guys to investigate this. And it's not civil. It's criminal." "Just so we don't... we're talking in circles, right?"
"Do you understand at least what we told you?" "Oh, we're talking in circles. That's the first thing we call." "Answer my question. Do you understand what Officer B has explained to you, kind of what's going to happen? What's going to be the next steps?" "I think yes." "Uh no, I'm not understanding." "You don't understand. What part don't you?"
I was pretty confused on what they were going to arrest me for. I mean the Fourth Amendment in our constitution specifically states that the police can't arrest you if they don't have a reason. Using the ancient text. I keep asking him for a reason, but they can't tell me anything that I'm doing that's illegal. "Well, I don't think we broke the law." "I want your opinion. That part doesn't matter. It's pretty black and white cuz right now you guys said the law we broke is the falsifying the raffle."
"Let's just call it and we'll just go from here. All right, guys. Please, you guys are going to... We are trying to keep you guys out of handcuffs. We don't want to go that route. We got that for you guys, but at a certain point, we can't keep doing this." "All right, so we're good, guys. I think we're good." "We're not good at all. Made pretty clear. You go on the property, you're going to get arrested."
When I came up with this plan, I was under the assumption that the police are supposed to follow the law. Yeah. So, they just simply didn't follow the law. Holy [ __ ]. This is insane. How is this even real?
Wrong. In Kaiser, Oregon, the police don't follow the law. And because of this, another family got scammed by Bricks and Minifigs. I felt pretty bad. So, I just paid this family what this Lego set was worth myself.
What do you do when there's just corrupt police? Should you go to the police department? So, we went to the police department to tell them that some of their police are corrupt. And then we realized we're literally just telling the police that they are corrupt. Of course, they're not going to do anything about it. Yeah. They just sent us home.
But this is when we realized that this raffle might have actually accomplished something pretty big for us. Josh ended up giving me a call. "You guys keep coming to the store. You park out front. You do fake raffles. You're threatening my business, you [ __ ]."
Josh seems pretty scared, and he should be. Eventually, I am going to end up solving all the police corruption that's going on. And once that happens, Josh is no longer going to be in civil trouble. He's going to be in criminal trouble. It wasn't a fake raffle. It was a real lottery scheme according to Oregon state law. And it actually is a class B felony up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The loophole he's been using this entire time, just hiding behind the fact that it's a civil case, isn't going to work for him much longer.
"I... let's not argue that. It's just better to just say, hey, you're not a thief. You know what I mean? Definitions of whether it's stolen or not, I don't know. Anyways, it's not stolen."
He got him, bro. You could have just given the Legos back, man. You should have just done it. It was so easy.
But for some reason, Josh still decided not to give the Legos back. I think he might just need one more push. Here's the plan. Take a picture of every single sign that's outside the Bricks and Minifigs store. And now I'm going to redesign every single one to make them way better. For example, I changed "turn at the light" to "turn and go home." In "buy, sell, trade," I changed it to "steal, sell, trade." I'm printing all of them out to scale. And nope, I didn't use ChatGPT this time. This time I'm using a much better method which is a tape measure. I measure the exact dimensions of their actual sign that they have up right now.
Now it's time to put our signs directly over top of their signs. But before we had time to do this, Josh gave me a call. He's still trying to convince me to sue him so he gets charged with a civil crime, not a criminal crime, which could land him in jail. "If you think it's illegal, why don't you sue me? It's a civil matter. Tell Brian to put his money where his mouth is. Let's go to court." "Okay. You want to do double or nothing?" "What are you talking about? Are you stupid?" "If you're wrong, you pay us double. If I'm wrong, I pay you double." "Bro, are you dumb? You're obviously..."
He's [ __ ] maxing. He is. He's doing it right now. It's happening as we speak.
"Kid, you don't know how this works." "I think you're scared. Double or nothing. Let's do it." "You're so dumb, bro." "I think you're scared." "Okay. I'm not scared." "Let's do it." "Okay, let's do double or nothing." "I'm not doing..." "If you lose, you pay us $400,000. You're scared. You're a chicken. I'm calling you out. You're scared." "Okay. Do you want..." "Put your money where your mouth is." "Are you just going to be a [ __ ] or you going to..." "I'm putting my money where my mouth is. You put your money where your mouth is." "Okay. Let me talk."
Is he going to spill the beans now? After all of this, is he finally going to just simply admit what happened? Finally, here we go. "When Brian first came in, we identified anything that was on that list that would have been his that Amanda didn't sell and we set it aside and it's still sitting there. We're happy to give you your stuff back. I just don't want any more damage."
I guess Josh has finally realized he roached out. He roached out, bro. So that whatever he's going through right now will literally never end for him unless he gives the Legos back. "I'm happy to give you the inventory. It's only bringing me harm because you guys are doing wacky crap trying to attack us."
Well, it looks like we won. Brian is finally getting his Legos back. I mean, did they just win? Is it over? I feel like it's not over if the video is longer, right? "We had some really good ideas." I love how they're almost disappointed because they're like, okay, then we're going to do this and we're going to do that. And they're like, wait, what do you mean you're giving up?
"Well, what do we do for the next couple hours if it's raining?" Bowling. Go bowling. Let's go bowling.
We waited a few hours for Brian to get off work and now he's off work. So, we showed him our entire conversation with Josh. "So, what can we do now to work with you guys to get the sets back?" "Okay, this is what I need done. I need a written apology from Brian. I need all the negative comments taken off. I need positive reviews on there to make up for the damage and then I'll give them back." "So, you're holding my sets hostage."
Oh, you thought we were getting the Legos back already? That's what I thought. Yeah. I was like, wait a minute. How is this going to work? We're not even halfway through the video yet.
So, basically, before Brian can get his Star Wars Lego collection back, 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 being up because in this Facebook post, Brian calls Bricks and Minifigs out for stealing his Lego Star Wars collection.
Apologizing for [ __ ]. I agree. But it sucked. "But here's where we're at, right? If you can just write the letter, we can get the Legos." "I walked in there with the best of intentions. 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... I've gone through 9 months of anxiety, stress, hospital, medication, types of burden."
I mean, you got to keep in mind this is just an average guy and it's $200,000, right? That's like half a house. If it's a shitty house, that's a house.
"No, I am not apologizing to these [ __ ]."
It sounds kind of crazy that Brian would be saying this, but I see where he's coming from. Apologizing would be a mistake because it would be admitting fault and he could probably use that in a later court case to establish that you knew that you were doing something wrong, but you continued doing it anyway. You should never apologize for that.
"I've gotten to personally see a tiny bit of how this company bullying his family has just torn his entire life apart. I just want to say thanks guys. I have a gnarly panic attack right now."
But at the same time, if Brian just writes this apology letter to Bricks and Minifigs, he'll get all his Legos back. "I get it. You're asking me to swallow my pride and write this letter. I get it."
But then Brian told us a bigger reason we shouldn't write this apology letter. Brian told us that this apology letter is really a trap. Yeah, this is Josh trying to trick us into giving him a get out of jail free card. What I mean by this is if Brian makes an apology letter to Bricks and Minifigs, then Bricks and Minifigs can now use this letter as written evidence in court that they're not the bad guys. Brian's the bad person. Brian told us that if we give them this get out of jail free card, then they have absolutely no reason to ever give the Legos back.
I just want to say if this is actually what Bricks and Minifigs' plan is, then that's insane.
But I really wanted to find out if this is what their plan was. So, I decided to tell Josh that Brian is going to send him an apology video. "He makes the apology, then we can get the Legos back like today or tomorrow, you think?" "No."
Just in case Bricks and Minifigs has evil intentions with this apology video, I wanted to give him something that they couldn't use in court. So, I went back to the beginning of the video and took a screenshot of Brian's face and put it into this website. I also uploaded this video of Sheldon. "Hi, I'm Brian Mancell." He's going to deepfake it now. It now looks like... "Hi, I'm Brian Mancell."
I knew it. That's exactly... cuz it wasn't him. That's the only way you could do this.
"And I apologize sincerely for accusing you guys of stealing my Legos. I was wrong and you were right." This is the ultimate test.
This guy's channel name is Reckless Ben. I have never seen a more accurate advertisement in my life. This dude just goes in like this. He's like, you know, back in the day the Viking Berserkers that would just show up to the battle with no shirt on and they would just throw axes at people. That's this guy. So I have such a massive blind spot for that. Cuz I can meticulously plan out, okay then you can do this and then you can do that, but what do you mean you're going to set up a lottery and a table in front of there and they're going to tell you that you can't leave but then the police are going to let you stay there. There's no way that's going to work. And then what do you mean you had a guy that's there that you're going to swap places with that you're going to run out into the river and then wait there and then call and pretend to be corporate? I'm like there's no way you could do this, right? This isn't going to work. Please give this video a like. Please give this guy a sub. This guy is a virtuoso. He's an artisan. I'm in awe. It's so good.
Is Josh being sincere or was this all just one big trick? "I want to give it back to him. That's the long and the short of it. We got to win Amanda over, right?" "Apologize to Amanda?" "Okay. I guess Brian's a little worried that you guys are just going to keep postponing it until..." "You're going to get him. You're going to get him. I'm not going to screw you. You have my word." "Who am I?" "I promise you. I swear to God."
Go apologize to her. Say sorry. Sorry. We did a fake raffle.
The Legos back, Josh made up one new thing I have to do. I have to apologize to Amanda for my raffle being fake. Even though I put in a lot of effort to make sure my raffle was actually real. I don't know. It almost feels like another trap. The employee we brainwashed from before told us that the owners are coming up with schemes to try to get us arrested. "After you left, I got a call from my boss and it was like, how do we get them arrested?"
Maybe Josh is saying this to trick me into going back into the store so Amanda can call the police on me and have me... But I had to find out for sure. "Do you give me permission to go into the store to apologize to her, to make peace?" "Sure. Yeah."
"Hi, Amanda. How's it going? We came to make peace. We talked to Josh. He told us to come back and make peace with you."
It turns out I was right. This was a trap. Bricks and Minifigs doesn't care about giving us the Legos back. They just want to get us arrested. But now that he gave prior consent, they can use the recording to tell the police and then the police can't actually arrest them because they gave consent, which overrules the trespass.
"There is a gentleman who was trespassed off the property maybe four or five days ago and he's literally standing right in front of the store right here in front of me." We only have a very small amount of time before the police arrest us. So, we decided to use this time to see if we could finally convince Amanda to make peace with us. "Well, I guess before they get here, we just wanted to talk to you civilly if you would like to have a like a peace treaty with us. Not in a harassing way, in a very peaceful way. Would that be okay with you?"
But making peace with us did not seem like a priority for Amanda. Her priority was to get us arrested. "It's just a regular peace treaty, a one-page document." "What is that?" "If you need to go over it, you take your time."
They have the papers they're trying to get me to sign. It literally just says peace treaty. I don't know who this other guy is. He's apparently the treaty guy. He has some kind of treaty on a sword.
"Well, do we stick around for the cops?" And they never showed up. They're just like, bro, Bricks and Minifigs again. Yeah, we're going to be right over.
So, barbecue or tacos? What are you thinking? What do you want to get for lunch?
I guess it makes sense right there. The last time the police showed up, I was fully prepared with the Oregon law book. The Oregon law scared the police so much that they had to run away. I think they're scared to come. Where the heck are these cops?
"Hi, Josh." "Ben, how's it going?" "It's good. So, we walked in. We were like, hey, we're sorry. We have permission to come back here and apologize. And she's like, I'm calling the cops."
Josh now realizes that his last ditch plan to get me arrested, that plan didn't work. "I'm sorry Amanda did that. Thank you for doing that." It looks like Josh has no other choice than to give Brian his family's Legos. "We apologize and it's up to Sam to accept. So, let's cross Amanda off that checklist. Let's get this done."
And now that our work here is done, we decided to head back to Los Angeles. It's too late to pick up the Legos today, but tomorrow they're finally going to give this family their Legos. Okay, great.
Now it's tomorrow, but the store has Brian's phone number blocked, so he can't call them. So instead, I called the store to see how Brian could pick up his Lego sets. "I was wondering if you guys are still down to get the Legos back today." "Um, I think... I just want to make sure everything's properly..."
The guy I'm on the phone with was trying as hard as he could to stall. It turns out that this is actually the same guy in the security camera footage that kicked the old owner out of the store. Google says his name is Brandon Best and apparently he's co-owner of this franchise along with Joshua Johnson, but for some mystery reason, they weren't able to give the Legos back today. "They said they'd give me an update on Monday type thing."
Now it's Monday. Today is Monday. And they were so reasonable. They were like, okay, yep, you had a delay. You need to get the inventory. It's going to take you an extra day. That's totally fine. Okay, we're going to wait until then. And let me guess what it's going to be this time. "Hey, I was just calling to see if you guys are still down to get the Legos back today." Finally.
This is the way that I put things off, bro. And if it's anything like me, they're not getting these Legos back. That's it. It's not happening. "I don't have a quick update, unfortunately. I still don't have a really good update." "Yeah, you bet. Thanks for... thanks for your patience. Sorry, it's kind of crazy."
He said, I probably won't be able to talk tonight. Why do they keep postponing this? And then it goes from phone calls to text messages to no response on the text messages. "Call has been forwarded to voicemail." Yesterday he said he would call me today. "Call forwarded to voicemail."
That's a lot of spaghetti and meatballs. It's been over a month now. And yeah, I've gotten no answer. And finally, after a really, really long amount of time, they finally answered my call. "I'm not going to distribute those things at this point. We've kept them on hold for this long."
So, I've just been told that Bricks and Minifigs is no longer going to give Brian his Legos back like they promised. And at this moment, I finally realized what I did wrong. Josh said we could get the Legos back once we make peace with Amanda, but we never actually really made peace with her. "Well, he acknowledged that he had them and it wasn't his. And I'm not signing nothing from anybody."
Now it all makes sense. Unless we can somehow find a way to make peace with Amanda, we are never getting these Legos back. Now it's back to [ __ ] maxing. So I printed out a more official looking peace treaty and traveled from Los Angeles all the way back to Bricks and Minifigs in Oregon. Hopefully I can get Amanda to sign the peace treaty this time and we can finally get the Legos back. "Hello." Oh, she's mad already. "You're not allowed here." "Oh, no. Josh told me to come back. I think we didn't get the Legos back because you didn't sign the peace treaty." "You want to call Josh?" "No, I'm calling the police."
Bricks and Minifigs is still doing the same thing they've always done. They're still trying to get me arrested just to avoid giving the Legos back. The problem with their plan though is Bricks and Minifigs is never going to be able to arrest me because I have a get out of jail free card. I've actually had this card the entire video. I just haven't used it yet. Let's rewind all the way to the beginning so I can show you what I mean. "So, basically, my friend said that you guys have some of his Legos..." Nope. It was even before this right here.
I made a contract with Amanda that says I, Ben Schneider, should not be trespassed. And all of these legal words, for any circumstance whatsoever, and for literally any reason, they cannot trespass me. And it's effective for the next 10 years. But this only really works as a get out of jail free card if I can get a manager to sign it. But how the heck am I going to do that?
Yeah. I mean, you can't.
"Hi. Sorry. I got a delivery. Can I get a signature?"
For some reason... I don't think this is going to work because she's not the owner of the property. It's Josh that can still trespass him. I don't know if this is going to work, guys.
Amanda just started signing our contract without even reading it. "Thank you so much." "You're welcome." In America, we have a duty-free contracts law which states that you have to read a contract before you sign it. And if you forget to read it or you just choose not to read it, it's your fault and you still have to do everything the contract says. So even though Amanda didn't read it, she signed it. So she has to follow everything, including a clause that says for every police officer she calls on me, she owes me $5,000 in liquidated damages.
So let's fast forward and see how much Amanda owes me. We got 5,000. Keep going. 10,000. 15,000. 20,000. 25,000. 30,000. 35,000. $40,000. Okay, I think that's all the times Amanda called the police on me. But if I'm going to be honest, even though Amanda's been helping cover up this giant theft, I still kind of feel bad for her that she owes us $40,000. I mean, that's a lot of money.
So, I'm going to stop continuing to trick her, and I'm finally going to come clean about the contract. Once Amanda sees the agreement she's in, she'll finally realize it's not worth it to continue racking up this $5,000 debt. Instead, a much easier option would be we team up together to convince corporate to give Brian his Legos back. "I'm calling the police cuz you've already been trespassed off the premises." "Well, you don't want to owe $5,000 more dollars, do you?" "I don't owe anything. And I'm asking you for two weeks. You did say that I'm allowed to be here. You signed a document." "I never once said you were allowed to be here." "And now here's... whose signature is this then?" "That is not my signature." "It's not?" "Why do you have anything to do with signatures here?" "Cuz you signed this, right?" "No, I did not." "Is that not your signature?" "No, it's not. And I'd like to know how you guys got a signature that's even close to mine."
"Well, it says every time you call the cops, you owe $5,000 for punitive damages."
Why was she following the contract? She knows.
Now that Amanda knows she can't call the cops on me just for being here anymore, I decided to call Josh to update him on how making peace with Amanda is going. "Hey, I just went back to try to apologize to Amanda."
And what Josh said next, I was not ready for. "Dude, when we took over that store, there was nothing in that store. The shelves were empty. Why do you guys think we're the bad guys?"
Josh's story has now completely changed. Now he's saying even if I'm able to make peace with Amanda, they still won't be able to give me the Legos back because they never even had the Legos to begin with. Well, if Josh is telling the truth, then why did Josh say this to us last time? "We're happy to give your stuff back." I mean, what stuff of ours would you be giving back if none of our stuff was even ever in his store? "Like, what about this? I'm happy to go open that stupid cupboard and you can have all the sets in there. I want to give it back to him. I'm happy to give you the inventory. Get the inventory to Brian. I'll give them back. I'm not going to screw you. You have my word. I promise you. I swear to God. I promise you on everything."
I mean, Josh is on video swearing to God and on everything. That's a lot of things. But now, for some reason, he never even had the Legos. This makes no sense. The shelves were empty. So, I decided to remind him of all of these examples where he claims they do have Brian's Legos in the store still. And this was his response. "[ __ ] you. I never said that." "Yeah, you did." "I don't give a damn." "No. No. Nope."
"It's wrong. And if you want to test your opinion, let's go to court. Who enforces the law? The court. Exactly." "So, basically what you're saying is I'm wrong, but you can sue me for it is what you're saying." "Yeah. No, that's the long and the short of it." "So, you know you're wrong. So, you know that you stole the Legos then." "Why would you say that on camera?" "Why would you say this over the phone? You know you're being recorded." "I mean, I don't... I would like to just get the Legos back. But if that's what you want, it seems like this is what you want. I'm giving you every out that I can." "I just want to get the Legos back. They're Brian's Legos coming back. It's pretty easy."
It's kind of funny that this entire video Josh has just been begging me to sue him. But the second I agree to it, his attitude completely changes. It's almost like Josh doesn't want me to sue him. And the only reason he's saying that is because he knows that by saying it, he can get away with his crimes. But now that Josh thinks that there's a chance I might actually sue him, he's getting scared.
In fact, he said if I do sue him, he's going to tell the world that I'm the one that stole the Legos. "You go yourself. You stole them, [ __ ]." "I stole the Legos?" "Yeah, you're a [ __ ] thief." "Shut the [ __ ] up. It's over. It's over."
Like he's totally crashed out. He's hallucinating. He's freaking out. This is totally done.
"That's your choice." "It's over." Brick by brick.
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. So what's the alternative? I can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars somehow and then maybe spend 3 to four years in court fighting them and somehow if I win then we can finally get the family their Legos back. 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 except it costs basically nothing and you get a judgment pretty much instantly. So I gathered my friends around a campfire to tell them about option number three. "One of the thoughts you had was taking them to small claims court, right?" "No because it's way too much money to take to small claims court. You can't take someone to small claims court, Ben, for $200,000." "Yeah, it's $12,500 at the most, right?"
Everyone hated option number three. Why didn't he just itemize every single thing inside of the Lego collection and then do it individually? Makes sense.
We ended up looking it up and you can actually only sue for $10,000 at the most. So if we go with option number three, Brian actually could win $10,000 pretty easily, but then this is what would happen to his $190,000. "I'm not giving up. Just creative."
"Theoretically, if you wanted to, could you take it to small claims court? If you wanted to limit it..." "But you would at least get $10,000 out of that though, right?" "We could, but it would be giving up $100,000 more, you know?"
So, here's the pitch. What if we have 10 people sue 10 different times for $10,000 and we get $100,000? "Well, why not?"
The reason that this will never work is because of a legal term called claim splitting. Yeah. So, it turns out my idea is called claim splitting, which is when a civil plaintiff splits one lawsuit into two or more lawsuits, and that is illegal. Yes, if 10 different people sue and win money for one crime, then that is illegal. But we have already established that if one person sues for this crime, it is a very easy win. So, what if this exact scenario just so happens to happen 10 different times?
Think about it. If 10 different people get their Lego stolen by Bricks and Minifigs, all 10 people can individually sue. And it turns out that that is actually not considered claim splitting. So basically, if I can find 10 different victims of Bricks and Minifigs, my plan will work. And maybe I don't have to find 10 victims. Maybe I can create them. Starting with myself.
First, I signed up for a credit card and then used that credit card to walk into the bank and take out a $10,000 loan. I then used this $10,000 to buy a few Lego sets from Brian. Specifically, these.
Itemizing. Yep, there it is. I knew it. Here we go.
And according to the legal paperwork, there's still Brian's to sell to me. But just in case Bricks and Minifigs tries to argue that for some reason this wasn't a legal sale, I hired a public notary to officially approve the purchase. "We have a public notary approving it. I own these Lego sets now, right?" "Once I stamp it, it's all yours." "Wow. Congratulations."
It looks like I legally now have $10,000 worth of inventory inside this Bricks and Minifigs store. So, I wrote a very stern demand letter to Bricks and Minifigs demanding that they give me all of my $10,000 of Legos back, and they never got back to me. Oh, wow. What a surprise.
So, I'm going to sue them in small claims court, completely separate of Brian. Now that there's two crimes committed against two completely separate victims, this is not considered claim splitting. So, this is when I thought, if the plan works this well for me, it should also work this well for all my friends. So, I signed up for a ton of more credit cards, took out a bunch of more money, and each of my friends bought $10,000 worth of Brian's Lego. "That's $10,000 for your..." "Here you go." "Just to be sure."
This is when we realized there's actually a big problem with our plan because we're now all $10,000 in debt and if we don't pay the banks back soon, the interest is going to destroy us. "Dude, what's the problem?" "We're $10,000 in debt." "Well, how do we solve this, dude?"
We just ask our friends if they have money to loan us. "Tell me, I'm in a lot of debt and I just wanted to know if you have $10,000 to loan me." "No." It was worth a try. "Michael, do you have $10,000 to loan me?" "I literally do not have $10,000. Period."
But this is when we remembered that our friend Brian just made about $100,000 from all the Lego sets he just sold us. I bet he has extra money he could lend us. So, we gave Brian a call. "So, we're in a really weird pickle right now."
Is he going to take out a loan and then have it leveraged against these things and then pay them?
"I just need $10,000. That's all. I'll give it back." This is weird. I know. It's crazy.
Brian legally gave each of us a $10,000 loan, which allows us to now pay back the banks to avoid interest. And it says in the paperwork that once we win these court cases against Bricks and Minifigs, we'll pay Brian back. "And we promise once we win this lawsuit, we'll pay you back."
And if you're thinking, wait, how is all of this legal? There has to be some type of catch. And you're right, there is. It's called sales tax. But luckily for us in Oregon, there is no sales tax. It's one of the only states that doesn't have it.
I didn't even know that Oregon doesn't have sales tax. Holy [ __ ].
This means that we can just keep selling Lego sets back and forth to each other over and over with no fee. "Well, I think everyone's in. Should we start?" "You're going to go to the top. Start filing."
But I haven't even told you guys the best part yet. The best part is that all of this is another flashback. Yeah, all of this happened a month ago. So, now let's fast forward all the way back to present day where I'm still talking to Josh on the phone.
What? What do you mean you did this a month ago?
And yeah, Josh has no clue that we've been preparing all of these court cases against him for the last month. He's about to be in for the surprise of his life. "You have like, I guess, until the store closes to get the Legos back if that's the way you want to go. But if not, I guess we'll start the papers today and then go to court." "Are you going to serve the papers today?" "I don't... figure it out." "That's not how it works. Are you young? That's not how the world works." That's not how the world works. Well, we're going to do it. We're going to make the world work that way today.
Well, Bricks and Minifigs knows the deal. Get the Legos back before the store closes or they get served court papers. And now we wait. And then waiting got kind of boring. So, I'm going to spend the rest of the day promoting my We Steal From Old People company. Go to www.westealfromoldpeople.com for some awesome merch. And if Bricks and Minifigs calls the police on me for doing this, then they owe me $5,000 more dollars.
Jesus.
I've been advertising my company for a pretty long time now, and I've gotten no reaction from Bricks and Minifigs. So, I'm sending in a secret undercover agent to see how they're handling the situation from the inside. Dude, they sent them down to section 8. This is some projects level ghetto. Cash only. Well, they closed early on us. I think they're afraid of my lawsuit, so we decided to go bowling again.
It's the next day now. And you know what that means? It's go time. The funniest part about yesterday was when I was talking to Josh on the phone, he totally thinks that I just made all of this up in the moment when the actual reality is we've been planning this court case for months. But I'm not complaining because if Josh thinks it's fake, then he probably won't show up to court. And if Josh doesn't show up to court, we just win by default.
Before I serve him any court papers, I'm actually first going to confirm Josh's beliefs and do something super duper fake, like give him a world record for the most amount of Legos ever stolen. "Not everyone can say that they're the best in the world at something." "Exactly. The most Legos ever stolen." "You ready?" "Hi." "Hello. I am Ryan with the Guinness World Record Association and I think you're expecting this actually. This is an award for most Legos stolen by any company in the world." She's so mad. "Stolen by a single franchise." "Is that what it says?" "I am definitely not hanging that out." "You don't know anything about this?" "I have no idea about that." "I guess manager call." "I am a manager." "Oh, really? And you weren't expecting it?" "I was not expecting it."
Success. Anything that gets delivered to the store now, Bricks and Minifigs will probably also think it's fake, which is now perfect timing to serve all of these real court papers.
I didn't realize the goal was to have him not show up to court.
But to do this, I need a lot of people. So, I started recruiting some people with a game of hacky sack. "Here's your legal paperwork. You have been served." The first lawsuit has officially been served. Good luck, guys. "Here's my resume." Okay, that was funny.
Everything was going exactly to plan. Well, until this happened. "Yeah, Mark, hurry. Hurry." "Yo, can we just talk real quick?" They're closing the store. They're roaching out. Josh told this employee to close down the store early to avoid any more lawsuits coming in. She closed like as soon as she saw us. So, for the rest of the day, I'm going to continue to advertise my We Steal From Old People company at www.westealfromoldpeople.com. I'm not getting many sales yet, but hopefully if I keep up all this advertising, people will eventually start believing in my company.
"Yeah, we had to close early today. Open tomorrow, though. Maybe, I don't know. So, there's been some guy harassing us cuz... well, a lot of the Legos that we sell here are actually stolen Legos. It's like we just steal the Legos."
Anyways, we ended up getting the rest of the court papers served and now I'm just going to fast forward a few months. And Bricks and Minifigs hasn't responded to a single court case we submitted against them. So, I called the court to see what the next steps were. "Okay. So, I don't see that there's been a response from anybody in the case. Since they didn't respond, you can move forward with a motion for default judgment." "Okay. Awesome. Well, thank you so much."
It's over. Yes, the Oregon special. That's right. It's like if you can prove that you've served the paperwork and they don't respond to it and there's like two or three outs that you can have. Other than that, you have to be there. You have to do something.
Didn't respond. Looks like we win by default. "Congratulations. You won the court case." Wait, what?
They really thought it was fake. We did it. That's crazy, dude. No way.
Well, I think now it's time to go all the way back to Bricks and Minifigs and collect our money. And I got a cute little piggy bank here. They get to put the money in. I traveled all the way back to Oregon to finally collect my money. It truly is a beautiful ending.
This entire video, Bricks and Minifigs has been begging me to sue them. "If you think it's illegal, sue me. Let's go to court. Sue me. Let's go to court." Now, when I finally followed their instructions, they were too scared to show up. There is no more legal loopholes and there is no more postponing the problem. Now Bricks and Minifigs finally has to deal with the consequences for their actions.
"So what if theoretically it went to court?" He's just stunting on them. "Turns out you were wrong. Would you then admit you're sorry for everything?" "Yeah, sure. Of course. I give him the inventory and the judge says I got to give it to him, I got to give it to him. I'm not going to go against the judge's orders."
I bet he does. Roached out. Temporarily closed. Oh my god.
I couldn't believe it. Literally one day after we filed motion for default judgment, they permanently closed down the store. At first, it did feel kind of cool that our plan worked so well, it completely shut them down. But pretty quickly, it sunk in that we are not the winners here. The only winners today is Bricks and Minifigs. Now there's absolutely no way to hold the store liable for what they did.
I guess Bricks and 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: temporarily closed. Bricks and Minifigs didn't even notify any of the kids' parents who booked birthday parties here. So when all the kids would show up, they would just have to sit in an empty parking lot for their birthday.
If Bricks and Minifigs is too scared to show the world that they're closed, then the only way to let the world know is for me to give them an official closing ceremony. We put up an entire sign. Someone driving by happened to take a picture of the sign we put up and posted it on social media. Oh my god. And pretty much immediately we started going absolutely viral. The entire world has now seen this crime that Bricks and Minifigs has committed. And because of this, they finally marked on Google that their store is permanently closed.
"This Bricks and Minifigs in Salem, Oregon has got this sign out in front of it." It's been over a week. The sign is still up and people have been traveling from all over just to come. "If you drive through Kaiser, you may have noticed a mysterious sign appear recently outside the closed Bricks and Minifigs store. Permanently closed. We stole a family's life savings. They sued. We lost. By closing the store, we got out of having to pay the family what we owe them."
Wow. Just closed down his entire place of business. Roached out completely to not pay you $100,000.
I don't know. We didn't get the Legos back, but we shut down an entire business. That's almost... We still got to get the Legos back. Which is why even though Bricks and Minifigs closed down this store, I am not stopping until we get this entire Star Wars collection back to its rightful owner.
Yeah, cuz now you got them on the ropes. Now they're running. You can't stop now. Now it's only getting started.
This video is going on for so long now. Yeah, I bet you wouldn't believe me if I told you that this is still literally just the beginning of this Lego story. And if you want to watch part two, it's live right now on my Patreon at Reckless Ben. And part two gets insane.
Everybody just chill. I like how the Lego video became the craziest video.
Also, by subscribing to Patreon, there's the movie I've been making for the last year. Dude, there's a cop car every 50 feet just surrounding us. We are completely surrounded. It was supposed to be for streaming services, but they all said it was too gnarly for TV, so Patreon is the only way I can release it. But also, by subscribing, you'll get lots of behind the scenes, full interviews, and way more. Also, if you happen to work at Bricks and Minifigs and you want to see corporate do the right thing, send me an email here and I could really use your help. Lastly, if anyone knows any Utah lawyers, I definitely need a lawyer because I am in some serious legal trouble right now. And lastly, just know that I will not stop this mission until we get every single Lego back to its rightful owner.
I think this might be the best video that I've seen. I don't remember the last time I saw a video that was this good. This is truly amazing. This is a masterwork. I don't even know what to say. This is just incredible.
So there's follow-ups to this. And he just does this. He's just a thorn in the side of annoying people. This is incredible. He's a professional problem.
Part two's wild. I'm not going to watch it today, but we'll watch it. Help him at all with advice... I don't know what his plan is. I think that really what will probably happen, this is what I think the outcome will be, is that the corporate will probably give the Legos back because it's going to put so much public pressure on them. He's made this video, this video's already got two and a half million views. This could legitimately kill their company. It could, especially with all the bad stuff the CEO said directly. I actually think that it's over for them.
Modern day Robin Hood. Some of the stuff that he did, I would have never done that, but some of it's illegal but he just did it. And he got away with it. He got away with all of it.
He's been recently arrested. I don't want any spoilers, okay? This is such a good show. I want to know what happens next, raw and live. So, don't tell me what's going to happen. We will watch it either tomorrow or the day after. This is insane. Raw. You have to wait for the third expansion. Let me subscribe to this guy. I'm going to link you guys this video again. Oh my god, this is so good. I don't even know how do you even respond to any of this?
It's shocking to me that they thought this was a good idea at all. Everything about this was bad.
