Lego retailer and Reckless Ben steer defamation case toward mediation in Utah

Bricks and Minifigs, a Utah Lego reseller, and YouTuber Reckless Ben (Ben Schneider) have agreed to mediate their civil defamation dispute in Utah County after Schneider’s viral videos accused the company of stealing a Star Wars collection. The parties filed an agreement to pause a hearing on temporary orders and relax a prior posting ban, while outlining restraints against threats, stalking, trespass and doxxing; the court must still sign the new order, and Schneider says he intends to file a claim against Bricks and Minifigs as the case progresses. He has also faced criminal charges tied to his video series.

Missing LEGO Empire: Oregon Star Wars Collection, Franchise Feud, and Reckless Ben

A Star Wars Lego collection owned by Bryan Mansell and valued at up to $200,000, consigned to the Keizer Bricks and Minifigs store, became the focus of a protracted dispute after the store changed ownership in 2024. Mansell says the inventory was mishandled or not accounted for, the new owners dispute the consignment and deny knowledge of the agreement, and he terminated the deal in April 2024, demanding the return of his sets. The case has spawned lawsuits, with inventory still unaccounted for and the corporate party claiming no responsibility. Popular YouTuber Reckless Ben amplified the saga, leading to his arrest in Utah amid complaints from the store’s new owners, though litigation and questions over missing items continue unresolved.
