In today's episode, the girlies break down the viral lego story taking over the internet. Things are only getting messier as time goes on but the core of the issue is an ongoing dispute involving the retail franchise Bricks & Minifigs (BAM), YouTuber Reckless Ben, and a Lego Star Wars collection allegedly worth $200,000 that was originally consigned to a franchise location in Keizer, Oregon. The dispute gained attention in May 2026 after Ben published a series of videos alleging that the collection had been illegally retained following a change in franchise ownership. The controversy has also involved the Police Department of American Fork, Utah, and allegations that they are colluding with Bricks & Minifigs to cover up the scandal. 00:00 Introduction 03:00 $200k Lego Controversy 01:32:19 We Love the Internet We Love the Internets: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBSp4EhT/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXb6_eXgamY/ We hope you enjoyed this episode!
