In 2026, the American retail franchise Bricks & Minifigs (BAM) and YouTuber Benjamin "Reckless Ben" Schneider became involved in a widely publicized dispute concerning a Lego Star Wars collection consigned to a BAM franchise in Keizer, Oregon. The collection belonged to Ed Mansell and had been placed with the store in 2023. Following a change in the store's ownership in 2024, Mansell's family, including his son Bryan, alleged that unsold portions of the collection were not returned. The collection's value was disputed; Bryan Mansell, the franchise, and statements from BAM estimated it at between $150,000 and $200,000, while store records placed its value around $100,000.
