Bricks & Minifigs Parts Ways with Salem, Oregon Franchise Owners Brandon Best and Joshua Johnson
Evidence of negligence uncovered Brian Mansell and Chrystal Law/Gorman jointly valued LEGO Collection at $95,000 - $100,000 relating to their Unauthorized Consignment Arrangement. Corporate takes action and reaches out directly to Bryan Mansell again for informal resolution
Bricks & Minifigs®, an authorized LEGO® reseller specializing in buying, trading, and selling LEGO® products, today announces the permanent closure of its Salem, Oregon store as well a mutual agreement to part ways with franchise owners Brandon Best and Joshua Johnson due to a devastating social media campaign. While fact investigation continues, BAM’s current state of its investigation has uncovered significant evidence of gross negligence in how the store was previously operated by the prior owner, as well as operational gaps during the transition and the subsequent management of document recovery. More importantly, BAM leadership has personally reached out to Bryan Mansell and family to meet, to review documentation revealed in the investigation, and to come to a mutual and positive resolution.
The findings are directly related to the ongoing situation involving collector Bryan Mansell, whose father’s Star Wars LEGO® collection was part of an unauthorized and private consignment side-deal in the Salem location that predated Brandon and Josh’s ownership of the store.
