THE FUSE

Bryan Mansell and his father had been collecting Star Wars LEGO sets since 2000. A bounty Mansell estimates is worth $200,000 in value. As his father experienced health complications, Mansell consigned the collection to Bricks and Minifigs, a popular chain of LEGO specialty stores. When the store changed ownership, new managers claimed full ownership, locking the Mansells out without pricey litigation. YouTuber “Reckless” Ben Schneider hoped some Nathan For You-style shenanigans and dressing like the Marvel villain Arcade would help the Mansells out. Instead, it has opened a surreal, cross-state can of Hutts instead.
