You may have read recently that YouTuber Reckless Ben was arrested in Utah in connection with a weird case involving an allegedly stolen collection of Star Wars Lego. If you’re wondering what it’s all about, so were we. Here’s the lowdown. What’s actually going on? The dispute centers around a large consignment of Star Wars Lego that belonged—or belongs, depending on whose side of the story you believe—to one Bryan Mansell of Oregon. As per the Salem Business Journal, a local paper that has reported extensively on the situation, Mansell and his father began assembling a collection of Star Wars-themed Lego sets in the early 2000s. By the early 2020s, they had acquired some 780 sets, all sealed in their original boxes. Mansell valued the collection at somewhere between $150,000 and $200,000. In November 2023, Mansell decided to sell the collection, and—again, according to the Salem Business Journal’s report—signed a consignment agreement with Chrystal Law-Gorman, the co-owner (with her husband, Benjamin Gorman) of the Keizer, Oregon franchise of a chain called Bricks and Minifigs. The store’s Facebook page promoted the collection in a pair of Facebook posts that remain live, one of which reposted Mansell’s own Facebook post about the collection.
