Bryan Mansell full Interview
This is the first time I've ever talked to Bryan Mansell, and he lays out the entire story and all of the facts involved in the Lego case before I got involved. This was the phone call that made me decide to take on this case, hearing about how crazy this entire thing was, I knew that I HAD to get involved and solve this!

his cat is everything
WOW!!
So, Crystal WAS selling on the side and not paying the Mansels? She’s milking this story as well.. so she wasn’t innocent in all of this? Wait.. scratch that.. it wasn’t her employee.. it was actually McNeff himself claiming BAM “doesn’t do consignments”.. I see it all so clearly now.. sorry Crystal..
In hindsight: The collection as a whole, as one unit, might be worth more than selling the parts.
no more delays where the hell is part 4?
Your content is definitely worth at least $10 a month! Keep doing what you’re doing bro!! You got my support every month! Just subscribed to your patreon!
Why did these videos stop????
Someone should start a company named "MiniBricks & Figs" (MAF) or simply MF.
I’m so happy that Bryan Mansel has been made whole with the settlement agreement. Whatever he was paid was not enough for the pain and suffering he went through. I hope Ben doesn’t settle until Ammon Mcneff, Brandon Best and Josh Johnson are all doing the chicken dance for Ben’s channel. In addition to the fat cash offer.
Awesome, Bryan beat BAM...got his compensation...Good job Ben and team !!!
damn Bryan is incredibly well-spoken and good at laying stuff down clearly. This is INFURIATING to hear how he was treated.
... and Josh McDonald's head and brandon uncle fester need prison too for what I'm sure well find out soon are child porn trafficking empires. becZuzd no one throws 10s of dollars away and steals old man shit only to risk 400 million buckeroos
Brick by brick. These thief have to fall down. Good job Ben at pulling those bricks from under their feet. Can't wait till entire thing comes tumbling down.. Go Ben You're doing great job my man !!!
I love Bryan's cat
Ben, please don't undermine us as subscribers, I subscribed to support you but also so I can get content early, when you just dismiss this as a platform then what is the point for us to subscribe?
Even when I know the whole story, seeing the footage makes my blood boil again. Those smug bastards need to be taught a lesson. Good luck Bryan and thank you, Ben.
Provo Canyon video was an absolute BANGER. I wonder if you saw they have been ordered to close down by literally tomorrow. Crazy stuff keep going Ben doing good work 🔥🔥🔥
Dude, Ben idk if you know this but the chick Yvette from the “I Infiltrated the Scariest Cult in the World” has been pretty active on YouTube commenting some pretty disturbing stuff on some of your videos. Like trying to get back into the cult type shit. Seems like a good opportunity to reach out and offer her some real help. https://youtube.com/watch?v=18JxwNKb5Zs&lc=UgxwAqKNgv7CfFf76xt4AaABAg&si=6zsEm5BHh9hJVvMf
Man, i just want updates….. I don’t really care about stuff that’s already happened unless it moves the needle. This is the type of content I’d expect to be free, and I’m disappointed that you didn’t release the Provo canyon school video here for us first. Doesn’t feel like the sub is worth it besides to support you. Just being based
Brick by brick
Why didn't he release this sooner. I feel like I'm paying too much for this patreon I only pay for two patreon's Anna Elise and Reckless ben. I get like 10 notifications with hers every month. I love this channel but I'm not too keen on the patreon. I'm going to give it another month, but I feel like we should be getting things before everybody else gets them. We were promised the episodes before they went live on YouTube. But we've been getting them at the same time. I mean I love the behind the scenes stuff. I just feel like give us the episodes first. Before you post it on YouTube. What am I paying for if I'm only getting a couple behind the scenes things every couple weeks.
$8 a month for this, isn’t worth it
Link to buy their hoodies they got arrested in so Tyler can get some money to replace his cameras! Ben and Tyler Signed them! https://www.ebay.com/itm/236986272635?var=&mkevt=1&mkcid=16&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=e4dh88vkrpy&ssspo=e4dh88vkrpy&stype=1&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
why does his room move like that?
Adolf McSnuff is a paedophile no doubt. no one risks $100k for 250 mil without there being a huge scandal under the radar. no doubt this is some child porn machine
This just reinvigorated my anger at this bullsh*t company! At this point I need these people to see jail time. This also needs to be seen on the main YouTube channel. It’s so much worse than I thought!
Damn, this conversation really summarizes the whole thing. I am truly impressed how much Ben and his team could carry Bryan's and all his work forward. And the worst thing that BAM could think of has now happened the world knows.
If his wife and brother are attorneys I wonder why they couldn’t take bam to court ect. That’s sad. I can’t believe BAM is so corrupt and I can’t believe he would give them so much commission to consign there lego set.
If Bryan's wife is an attorney, why wasn't she able to represent him, or use her connections to find a lawyer who would?
Religion is often used as a cloak for evil. I would never trust religious people or anyone from the state of Utah.
I despise Bricks and Minifigs more every day. Corruption at the top is poisonous to the entire chain. I know that Ben makes light of Ammon's accusations, but Ammon was setting those kids up to be physically & emotionally injured. As a mom it turns my stomach to think about what could have happened. Bricks and Minifigs needs to be shut down. The McNeff brothers, Josh Johnson and Brandon Best need to be in prison.
Have people who ordered their we steal from old people shirts gotten them? I ordered mine June 11 and it still says it hasn’t shipped.
It angers me how much the cops obviously believed whatever lies that Josh and Brandon Best were spinning...
Has the handwritten inventory of the Mansell LEGO collection ever been properly reviewed or digitized? From what I remember, Crystal never completed the full inventory, especially the figures. It would be great to turn this into a public, browsable list so the community can help crowdsource more accurate valuations.
I have a tier 1 membership does anyone know how we access the weekly Q&A That is promised ?
I’ve been waiting too long for episode 4.
Craziest story of 2026
hey, did anyone else see the way that the Buc-ee's convenience store brand has been harassing small business owners & making them change their logos. with lawsuits. and one of them is Mickey's the moose in Ohio. I think I heard that Ben was from Ohio. I wonder if he heard about that
Don’t forget that Ammon told Brandon to do this, said in exchange for stealing the store Brandon could have whatever was in it (knowing full well it had this collection)
The cats wondering who are you talking too😆😆
You would think the cops would get tired of being lied to from BAM but it seems to me like BAM made a donation with money they got from the collection to that precinct. There is no other explanation. Not even their all Mormon and have each others back.
When is part 4 dropping?
Cam we get a date for this? For the timeline
McNeff was the redditor who left that comment
This is just fucking incredible
What I find suspicious about this random ex-employee messaging Bryan on Reddit that Crystal is selling his Lego on the side, which is stealing, is that they knew the consignment was unauthorized. Wouldn’t that be a red flag in the first place, and they’ve been selling these LEGO for almost a year? You’re telling me that at worst, a high schooler that’s an employee, and at best the most experienced Lego person Crystal can hire, read the franchise agreement, read the BAM operation manual, and to this day it’s debated if consignment is allowed…and this person knows for sure BAM corporate’s policy to tell Bryan consignment isn’t allowed? And this employee knows she’s selling/essentially stealing and committing a felony, and doesn’t tell anyone but Bryan in a Reddit message about it?
Commenting and liking all comments to bring justice for tattle.
Shouldn't the collection be more valuable as is? Instead they decide to break it up... Don't understand that...
Look at these two little cuties just trying to figure out what to do. Little did they know that shit was about to get WAY more wild. It's so crazy to see the humble beginnings.
BRICK BY BRICK!
Yo I'm curious why there's a MCR record on the wall, Bryan said he worked in music in that chief of police video didn't he?
Good GOD! with the whole first interview. It pisses me off MORE!!! BAM really just wanted the Gorman's to be the fall guys 🤬 cops SUCK!!! As always 🤷♀️ just OMG!!!! Please 🙏 DON'T ANY of YOU guys! DROP the lawsuits! and let BAM get away with this BS!!!!! They are diabolical the LOT of them BAM choose the HARD WAY! take them down!!!!! 🦆uck BAM!!! And the cops!
From day one of this saga I see Brandon as the most evil charachter in the story. There is something deeply disturbing in that man's stare ...
Can we all just talk about how cute 🥺 the Kitty is 😻🖤🌸🖤
There's someone on YouTube stealing your patreon content and reposting it - https://www.youtube.com/@Islamic123-b-y1y
Thank you, the link has been forwarded directly to Ben's team. Please let us know if you find any others. Cliff
We need a series: "To Catch a Conspiracy Theorist" where we get a Chris Hansen like figure to make up total horseshit conspiracies and get high profile figures to believe them. Then at the end of the season there is a giant reveal of how people like Candace Owens chose to believe total made up nonsense. Reckless Ben, I feel like this would be a good series for you after the Lego Saga concludes. Think Sacha Baron Cohen meets James O'Keefe
B and M SHOULD BE SHUTDOWN OR RAN BY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT ARE HONEST AND COMPETENT. NOT THE BABOONS RUNNING IT NOW. THEY SHOULD BE JAILED ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE WHO BROKE THE LAW AND LIED TO TRY AND RUIN AN INNOCENT PERSONS LIFE.
Ben, some Youtube channel called Islamic 123 ripped and reposted this.
This should defo be uploaded to YouTube as just hearing the story from Brian before you helped take it on really pulls at the hearts and makes me want BAM to pay even more!!
Heads up: this channel is stealing your Patreon content https://www.youtube.com/@Islamic123-b-y1y
Part 4?
this is absolutely incredible
I think BAM misunderstood. His last name is Mansells, not Mangetsstolenfrom
I think the original store owner crystal is probably good; the thing driving Brian’s original thoughts on them are probably rumors started by BAM corporate.
Daaang
damn. I have been wondering why Mansell didn't go above the cops straight to the DA. This is crazy. He did and they even snubbed him. Cops don't know the law. That's fine they aren't lawyers. However, the DA definitely knows the law. Also hearing how deep the distrust in Chrystal was sown. I wonder if he still feels doubt in her story??
It is so nice to have confirmation that although Ben is truly reckless he nevertheless is not quite as foolish as the version of himself he plays in his regular videos.

Loving this series so much. Ben, please keep it up with the frequent updates - even the tiny updates are great!
Hey thanks for the new episode
Oh THIS pisses me off! Brandon and Josh can just fuck all the way off. I hope bam is destroyed and individual franchisees can strike out on their own.
brick by brick
I knew those bloody cops were paid off as soon as I watched minutes into the first ep. Thank you Ben (and friends) for putting your own freedom at risk to cover this story and exposing so much rotten corruption. Sending love to Brian and his family from down under 🐨🇦🇺
This is so messed up. Brandon Best, Josh Johnson, Ammon Jeff should serve a prison sentence.
What a lovely cat. He's worth more than any legos. I'm jealous. All the good people are cat lovers for some reason. God is on your side. This will end well.
I love these behind the scenes snippets! Cant wait for more! We need an update also!!!
That ‘random call’ was definitely Josh and Brandon. Period.
I can’t wait for justice to be served!!! BRICK BY MF BRICK YALL
Dude more and more stuff u put out worse it gets for BAM
I hate that crystal got so much heat for this :/
and they would have gotten away with it too.
Loved watching the exact point where you start seeing the whole story and the excitement on your face. You're kicking ass and making us proud ! Good work, everyone!
Omg, 15 Minutes away!! I didn't even realize that. Of course the UHaul time matches up. Easily!
“The bald dudeeee” hahahahaaaa
"you're my only recourse" He was so close to saying " Help me Reckless Ben, you're my only hope". So close! 😆🥰
"Only 15k worth" Hey, count your blessings. I wonder how much this all cost to begin with. Really.
I think Brandon probably just used his wife's login to get in and spy. Which why he was begging to leave her out of it. Cuz he pissed her off and put her on blast himself. These guys are real selfish geniuses.
Scourched Earth. I love that term. It's a good thing we didn't go that route. Lol
Poor Crystal. Using someone's past against them when they've clearly done everything they can to clean their life up and be good people is just evil. They are pure evil. Take. Them. Down.
Not to olive to police! I hate autocorrect
Wait! They lied about Chris right? Was she convicted of identity theft or did Ammon and Josh lie to Olive about her as well. I know about her shoplifting charges when she was 19 ..but identify theft??
The identity theft is 100% a lie.
So many more lies exposed. This story just keeps giving.
BRICK BY BRICK
Crazy Keizer police is willing to charge Bryan with phonic harassment but turn the other cheek to THEFT
Honestly Ben, i’m really disappointed you’re trying to money grab at this point. The series has gone on long enough and you only seem to be interested in putting up a video after you retain the people who are willing to pay another month. I’m not saying we need 5 - 6 videos but damn. Before it was bc of the TRO but what’s the excuse now?
Where is part 4 !?!?!?
So unbelievably invested in this story; never downloaded patreon until this series
Same
Hey ben if i got you a trophy that said "Benjamin Schneider saved the day" 🏆 would you keep it?
This puts that Kaiser police interview in better context, the police report, the DA’s office
I love how that 'employee of the store' gave the same lies about BAM not doing consignment.' Pretty sure the 'store employee on reddit' was one of the corporate thieves and Bryan believed them.
Wow - Possession really IS 9/10th the law.
this shows you that the most honest person is sometimes the ex convict and not the suit wearing executives
That is the most honest version of the story I have heard yet. It is just plain disgusting how it went down. I would have to assume that Bryan has now changed his mind about the Gorman's stealing any of the collection?
Despite catching corporate in lie after lie he still got suckered by the 'employee' lies and the police talking about her criminal history.
josh Johnson and amon mcscammon and Brandon best need to go to prison for felonious larcenies
watch his interview with Last Podcast on the Left. henry asks great questions and i am pretty sure they are buddies now. but from that interview it is obvious that Ben was completely unaware of mormon culture and he dove headfirst into, and pissed off, one of the largest cults in the country
That cat is everything
I really hope you don’t settle and let them get away with this
so glad that this tip of the iceberg has revealed to the world how much evil hides under just children's toys --from mormons running half of utah churches to the police
GO BEN GO! THE COUNTRY IS FOURSQUADE BEHIND YOU BRO
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... maybe you can hire The Reckless Ben Team.
"I love it when a plan comes together."
Scammon McTheft and his minions are trash.
It would be interesting to dig into the 'former employee' claiming Crystal was selling on the side. It sounds like BAM on a spoof account trying to create false doubt.
the side stuff was just probably the convention stuff she was doing where she was selling legos with books outside of the store so technically she did do that. But we already know of that
Who is the other voice?
I think maybe it’s Bryan’s friend who initially contacted Ben ?
Let’s go Ben 🔥🔥🔥 keep the content coming, can’t wait for part 4!!!
BAM had chosen the “hard way” long before RB showed up.
Makes me angry just listening to Brian’s story man,BAM are so disgusting for doing this and I truly hope you guys win this case/cases.They proved through their actions that they are a trash company.
Man, you have to release this on your main YT channel. It is just sooo infuriating to listen to that whole story again. Hearing the whole story direct chronologically also shows just how much shit Bryan and his family has had to endure! Brick by brick!
I want to know more about the Chrystal Gorman identity theft allegations 👀👀
Coffeezilla interview. Said cops pressured her to a plea deal or something like that
Ben you truly are a legend of a man. You've done a great job laying this all out. The amount of patience you've had to release it so slowly is amazing. Thank you for helping these people. Do not settle! Force them into court and expose everything.
they planned to steal it from the start. take them for EVERYTHING they have now, No Mercy
My thoughts and feelings too
Please keep uploading raw footage!
To me, aside from all the video evidence of what Ben has experienced directly, it seems very clear that Bryan had the exact same government corruption issues that Ben has.
This is sick
Break by brick
"Are we in good old boy country?" No. You're in Mormon country.
Wow! Did you guys ever get the Kaiser police report?
Wait. Who is this “employee” that called Bryan? This is a plant for sure. Employees are legally not allowed to see the OPs manual, how tf do they know the “consignments are allowed lie”?
This employee new too much, for low level employee. He even spyed on Crystal at her home? Or was it public knowlage Crystal did it :D
Obviously, Bryan’s father was screwed over. I feel bad for him. However, at retirement age, why is he relying on his son consigning his toy collection? That was his retirement plan? Why the toys and no apparent medical insurance? Also, not sure why Bryan decided to consign the collection at a local store. Could have safely auctioned the entire collection.
i am curious, are you not from the states or something? i highly doubt that was his retirement plan. he is dying and probably used all his money on hospital bills. it does not surprise me at all that someone might have to sell off valuables to pay for medical care. not to mention a growing number of seniors unable to live on their retirement, or have none at all. this family does not seem well off. otherwise they wouldnt have been desperate enough to get a youtuber involved.
Such an innocent time when it was just the Keizer police being the bad cops.
Scammon McTheft and the goons
this is so terrible, glad you got involved
Omg the full story is a trillion times worse than I thought. Those straight up liars.
The cops and BAM knew from the beginning. I am so angry and this company isn’t even in my country lol
insurance was the thing i wondered the whole time.. time to put in the claim it seems
Dude it's so crazy how big pieces of shit these f*cks are. They're evil. I hope Lego has truly parted ways with BAM and I hope they never come back from this.
I don't want the franchise owners to pay for corporate's vile mf ways and I believe Ben does not want that either. It would be awesome if Lego forced corporate to dissolve and then Lego dealt exclusively with the franchise owners - or something that benefits the franchise owners but destroys corporate!
Kinda funny his last name mansells his lego

Hey peeps if you want quality merch from Reckless Ben pop over to his website. I just got my t-shirt and it is high quality thick material. :) thx Ben
Wait you have lawyers in your family and didn’t sue them knowing you are in the right and that you can pay your relative lawyer back after you won or have them talk to a colleague to help or something
Because here are 100 types of diffirent lawyers, Lawyer who do murder cases can't do civil cases.
Crazy to see everything before the American Fork arc now. Nothing beats how rough that acid trip of abuse got. It was outrageous in the beginning, now it is obscene.
The Prequel dropped before the finale 😁
The one I was waiting for
Justice for the LEGO Scam

This whole story has been a wild ride. Thank you for sharing.
