Bricks & Minifigs Determined to Find Amicable Resolution with Mansell Family
Bricks & Minifigs®, an authorized LEGO® reseller specializing in buying, trading and selling LEGO products, today reaffirmed its commitment to assist in resolving the private dispute surrounding a customer's LEGO collection at a former franchise store in Salem, Oregon, strengthen its operations, and support its franchisees and employees. Subject to its ongoing investigation, Bricks & Minifigs believes and alleges the following facts, among others, may be relevant to claims made in recent weeks.
The Mansell Family Collection
Ed Mansell built the collection at the center of the issue. When the family decided to sell it, Ed’s son, Bryan Mansell, who was apparently new to the LEGO resale world, visited the now-closed Salem Bricks & Minifigs store around September 2023 and asked its former owner, Chrystal Law-Gorman, for help.
Bricks & Minifigs’ investigation found documentation estimating the realistic highest retail value at approximately $95,000 to $100,000. That estimate seems to align with Bryan Mansell’s public statements on an April 2025 Collecting Weekly podcast and with the roughly $80,000 in products or cash he allegedly sought when he is believed to have visited the store around Nov. 21, 2024.
