# tactiq.io free youtube transcript # I tracked down the thief who stole the world's largest LEGO collection # https://www.youtube.com/watch/wscQpkcwgNU 00:00:00.160 This man spent his life collecting 00:00:01.920 what's now known as the world's largest 00:00:04.400 Lego Star Wars collection ever. It's 00:00:06.960 estimated to be worth around $200,000. 00:00:10.080 And then the entire thing got stolen. 00:00:12.960 And the police are actively working with 00:00:14.799 the thieves to cover the entire thing 00:00:16.720 up. But the craziest part is that the 00:00:18.800 collector doesn't even know that his 00:00:20.240 collection's been stolen. Yeah. The 00:00:22.720 collector's son, Brian, well, he reached 00:00:24.880 out to me because he has no clue how to 00:00:27.119 break this news to his dad. At this 00:00:28.880 point, my father had a health episode. 00:00:32.640 We can't bring any stress to him. Um, 00:00:36.079 >> the reason he's reaching out to me is 00:00:37.760 because the police are covering this 00:00:39.280 entire thing up. And at this moment, I 00:00:42.239 promised Brian that I would not end this 00:00:44.800 video until I get his entire world 00:00:47.600 record Star Wars collection back. But 00:00:50.239 anyways, the thief of this collection is 00:00:52.079 actually a corporation called Bricks and 00:00:54.160 Minigs. 00:00:54.960 >> Bricks and Mini Figs, the biggest toy 00:00:56.800 store of its kind. is the largest toy 00:00:58.719 store. 00:00:58.960 >> Bricks and Mini Figs were not just your 00:01:00.480 average Lego store. 00:01:01.520 >> For collectors, Bricks and Minigs is 00:01:03.680 basically seen as the best and safest 00:01:05.680 way to sell your Lego collections. 00:01:07.439 >> I'm selling my Legos. So, what I'm 00:01:09.200 planning to do with them is take them to 00:01:10.640 my local Bricks and Miniig. 00:01:11.920 >> Because there's so much positive media 00:01:13.760 about them everywhere, Brian thought 00:01:16.240 that this would be the perfect store to 00:01:18.159 finally sell his dad's Lego Star Wars 00:01:20.400 collection. 00:01:21.040 >> So, I wrote up a contract. In the 00:01:22.960 contract, it says that these are still 00:01:24.560 the family's Lego sets, but every time 00:01:27.119 one gets sold, the store gets to keep a 00:01:29.119 small percentage of each sale. 00:01:30.560 >> This was a store's worth of inventory. 00:01:32.799 So, that store that day, was nothing but 00:01:35.360 my dad's collection, like all the 00:01:37.600 shelves filled. They had to bring in 00:01:39.520 extra shelves and filled the whole party 00:01:41.600 room with shelves. 00:01:42.640 >> But the owner of the franchise, this 00:01:44.560 woman, well, her husband had to actually 00:01:46.320 leave the country due to some 00:01:47.520 workrelated reasons. Uh my husband and I 00:01:50.399 were planning on moving out of the 00:01:52.240 country. I reached out to corporate to 00:01:54.399 let them know, hey, this is something 00:01:56.000 that's coming up in the next uh in the 00:01:58.240 next like four to 5 months. 00:01:59.920 >> She told the Bricks and Minifigs head 00:02:01.520 corporation that she was planning on 00:02:03.119 selling the store. So, the corporation 00:02:05.200 actually was able to find a buyer to buy 00:02:07.040 it from her. 00:02:07.680 >> They let me know that they had somebody 00:02:08.959 who was interested in purchasing 00:02:11.840 a franchise in the area. um he was going 00:02:15.599 to be in town and he was going to stop 00:02:17.200 by and just take a look at it. It wasn't 00:02:20.160 until Brandon got there um that he 00:02:24.080 informed me that they were terminating 00:02:26.319 my franchise agreement. We were getting 00:02:28.720 threats from Brandon and from corporate 00:02:30.480 that if we didn't leave the store 00:02:31.760 immediately, the police were going to be 00:02:33.440 called. I told Corporate I wasn't 00:02:35.519 comfortable leaving that night without 00:02:37.280 the inventory. I was also told I was not 00:02:40.160 going to be able to stay there long 00:02:41.519 enough to do that inventory. But we 00:02:43.440 don't just have to take this woman's 00:02:44.640 word for it. She was actually able to 00:02:46.239 save all the security camera footage 00:02:47.920 from that night, proving that everything 00:02:49.840 she just said is true. 00:02:51.360 >> All the footage and evidence is there in 00:02:53.519 the security cam footage. It's him at 00:02:55.760 the store kicking her out. 00:02:58.480 In that footage they sent us. Is Crystal 00:03:01.120 asking him, "How am I supposed to pay 00:03:03.280 this guy? These are sets he has not been 00:03:05.519 paid for. 00:03:06.560 >> These are ones that haven't he has not 00:03:08.239 been paid his percentage yet. And if I 00:03:11.120 don't have the tickets, I won't know how 00:03:12.959 much I need to pay him. 00:03:15.280 >> That's a business thing and not 00:03:16.720 necessarily yours. If taking on the 00:03:18.959 business, he takes on all that kind of 00:03:21.519 >> his own corporation is sitting there on 00:03:23.360 video saying they're going to take it. 00:03:25.280 >> After this woman got kicked out of her 00:03:26.879 own store, she called Brian explaining 00:03:28.959 how corporate just came down and is now 00:03:31.360 trying to take the world's largest Lego 00:03:33.360 Star Wars collection without paying for 00:03:35.120 it. 00:03:36.879 So Brian called the store to see what 00:03:39.120 was going on. I called the store and I 00:03:41.040 said, "What happened to Crystal?" He 00:03:42.319 goes, "Well, that's kind of a private 00:03:43.760 matter, but uh the corporation's uh 00:03:45.920 taken over the store. There's something 00:03:47.680 I can do to help you with." I said, 00:03:48.720 "Well, yeah. Uh I am the owner of about 00:03:52.239 half your store's inventory. 00:03:54.959 All those vintage Star Wars sets you 00:03:56.799 have in there are ours." And uh he goes, 00:03:59.760 "Huh, I I don't know anything about 00:04:01.519 that." I said, "Well, you better get to 00:04:04.319 learn about it because I have a 00:04:05.680 contract. I have photo evidence, video 00:04:07.680 evidence. like that is our collection. 00:04:10.400 So I went down to the store, brought a 00:04:12.080 copy of the contract. We're like, you 00:04:14.319 need to let me in back and let me see 00:04:16.478 the sets that you still have. All you 00:04:18.160 have to do is let me in back. We can go 00:04:20.079 that route or we can go to court. And 00:04:22.400 the guy just looks at me, crosses his 00:04:25.360 arms, and goes, "Let me tell you what's 00:04:27.440 going to happen. If we go to court, 00:04:30.639 we're going to drag this thing out so 00:04:32.639 long and you're going to end up spending 00:04:34.560 so much more money than your collection 00:04:36.240 is ever worth or what you ever would 00:04:37.759 have gotten out it that it ain't worth 00:04:39.520 it, man. So, if that's the route you 00:04:41.840 want to go and I go, that's really the 00:04:43.199 route you want to go rather than just 00:04:44.320 letting me walk in there and he goes, 00:04:45.680 "Nope, 00:04:49.120 dang. 00:04:49.680 >> What am I to do at that point?" Bricks 00:04:51.759 and Mini Figs knows that this family, 00:04:54.160 especially with the father's health, 00:04:56.000 doesn't have the resources to take them 00:04:57.600 to court. And almost mockingly, they've 00:05:00.720 since flooded all of their social media 00:05:02.880 with tons of pictures of Star Wars 00:05:05.440 Legos. At this point, it seems like 00:05:07.520 they're just rubbing it in this family's 00:05:09.120 face that they stole the world's largest 00:05:11.759 Lego Star Wars collection in the world 00:05:14.320 and they got away with it. 00:05:15.680 >> Everybody is absolutely baffled. How the 00:05:18.800 hell can a corporation get away with 00:05:21.280 doing that? 00:05:23.840 >> Yeah. 00:05:24.960 >> And why are the cops not helping? 00:05:27.039 >> But luckily for Brian, a YouTuber ended 00:05:29.120 up catching wind to this story and 00:05:30.639 created a team of YouTubers to do 00:05:32.400 whatever they could to get Brian his 00:05:34.160 Legos back. 00:05:35.039 >> This is the full inventory of all the 00:05:37.120 sets and minigs. 00:05:38.320 >> We can figure out how to get this guy 00:05:39.680 his money and his and his stuff back. 00:05:41.759 >> But right after they started, they 00:05:43.520 instantly stopped working on this case. 00:05:45.759 So I called one of them to find out why. 00:05:49.199 >> So they were threatening legal action 00:05:51.840 against us. You know, Bricks and 00:05:53.440 Miniigs, which is a pretty big company 00:05:56.240 who probably has way more resources than 00:05:58.479 we can, you know, really put up a fight 00:06:00.800 against. 00:06:01.360 >> Bricks and Miniigs knows that they can 00:06:03.280 just bully anyone that tries to expose 00:06:05.280 them with frivolous lawsuits. And this 00:06:08.000 left Brian feeling pretty hopeless. 00:06:10.240 >> It eats me alive. I've been 00:06:13.919 I had terrible anxiety attacks over it. 00:06:16.319 Got put on medication. I just kind of 00:06:18.560 was like, "Okay, I just have to let 00:06:20.000 these freaking things go right now." Um 00:06:23.840 cuz there was just it didn't seem like I 00:06:25.440 have any path to go, you know? 00:06:28.560 Well, I guess now it's time for me to 00:06:30.479 get involved. So, immediately I went to 00:06:32.639 my car, picked up some friends, and 00:06:34.800 started driving 16 hours to this bricks 00:06:37.280 and mini fig store. And I will do 00:06:39.120 literally whatever it takes. Even if I 00:06:41.360 have to take down the entire police 00:06:42.720 force, I will stop at nothing until this 00:06:45.600 family gets their entire Lego Star Wars 00:06:48.160 collection back. And now 16 hours later, 00:06:51.440 we're finally pulling up to the Bricks 00:06:53.120 and Minifig store. So, I started a pair 00:06:55.039 of spy camera glasses. That's what I'm 00:06:56.800 going to use to film this. And honestly, 00:06:59.280 I kind of just want to hear Bricks and 00:07:00.800 Minig side of the story. 00:07:02.080 >> Hi. How's it going? 00:07:03.280 >> Pretty good. How about yourself? 00:07:04.479 >> It's pretty good. Uh, so basically my 00:07:07.520 friend said that uh you guys have some 00:07:09.840 of his Legos I think and he told me to 00:07:11.520 come here and see if I could pick them 00:07:12.880 up. 00:07:13.520 >> Who's your friend? 00:07:14.639 >> I think they're Brian's Legos. It's like 00:07:17.199 a big like Star Wars collection set. I 00:07:19.120 think 00:07:20.160 >> you could go ahead and leave now. 00:07:22.080 >> Really? 00:07:22.560 >> So you could go ahead and leave now or I 00:07:24.080 will call the police or harass him. 00:07:26.000 >> Well, I'm not harassing you. 00:07:27.280 >> No, you are. Hi. Hi. Hi. You want to 00:07:29.120 watch the cameras? I'm being harassed by 00:07:30.960 Watch the cameras. I am being harassed. 00:07:34.319 you need to leave. 00:07:35.599 >> Literally, all I did was just bring up 00:07:37.280 that my friend has some Legos in their 00:07:38.960 store, and the manager started freaking 00:07:41.360 out on me, but I wasn't going to leave 00:07:43.520 the store without hearing her side of 00:07:45.039 the story. Before showing up, I printed 00:07:47.360 out a copy of the contract the store 00:07:49.039 made with Brian, saying that all of 00:07:50.720 these Lego sets will remain his until 00:07:52.960 sold. Because I have a contract, a legal 00:07:55.520 reason to be here, legally, this does 00:07:57.199 not count as harassment. Instead, the 00:07:59.120 manager should be checking the store's 00:08:00.479 inventory to see if these sets are still 00:08:02.319 in their store. Well, so here's still 00:08:03.919 all of the Lego sets you guys still 00:08:05.440 have. 00:08:05.840 >> I don't have anything to do with that, 00:08:07.120 and I don't want that. 00:08:09.520 You can go ahead and leave. And I'm 00:08:10.720 going to ask you one more time. This is 00:08:12.160 the last time. I do not want that. 00:08:14.080 You're not handing me anything. 00:08:15.199 >> I tried for a long time just to get her 00:08:17.280 to look at this contract, but finally, 00:08:20.000 she gave me an answer of why she can't 00:08:21.840 help me. 00:08:22.639 >> You've been supposed to be getting a 00:08:23.599 hold of corporate. 00:08:24.800 >> Basically, what the manager is saying is 00:08:26.400 that if someone did steal the Legos, it 00:08:28.560 wasn't her, it was corporate. Little 00:08:30.960 does the manager know, I already did 00:08:32.799 this. Yep. I literally went to the 00:08:35.120 corporate Bricks and Mini Figs 00:08:36.479 headquarters. How's it going? 00:08:38.320 >> And this was corporate side of the 00:08:39.760 story. 00:08:40.159 >> You have to talk to the store owner. 00:08:42.080 >> Yeah. 00:08:42.399 >> Like my the locally owned and operated. 00:08:45.040 We can't do anything with it here. Their 00:08:46.800 decisions are their decisions for sure. 00:08:48.480 >> Uh-huh. 00:08:49.040 >> So when they say go to corporate, how do 00:08:50.480 we respond next time? 00:08:51.600 >> I have no idea. You have to take it up 00:08:53.600 with them. It's it's your uh thing with 00:08:56.399 them. It's that doesn't involve us. So, 00:08:58.640 I showed the manager what corporate 00:09:00.240 bricks and minig said. 00:09:01.600 >> When corporate tells me this, I'm 00:09:03.440 supposed to come back to the store, 00:09:04.640 right? 00:09:06.480 And so, it kind of seems like you're 00:09:07.600 going against what corporate's saying. 00:09:09.680 >> That's fine. 00:09:11.440 >> Oh, this is what corporate told us. 00:09:13.360 >> That's what corporate told you. For the 00:09:14.800 last time, I'm asking you to leave the 00:09:16.240 store. 00:09:17.839 >> Can you give me a reason to leave? I 00:09:19.440 guess. 00:09:19.839 >> Have you guys heard me ask him several 00:09:21.360 times? I don't know about you guys, but 00:09:23.440 to me, it kind of seems like the only 00:09:25.920 reason she's asking me to leave the 00:09:27.279 store is to cover up this $200,000 00:09:30.080 theft. 00:09:30.640 >> You need to leave. How many times have 00:09:31.839 you been asked to leave? 00:09:33.279 >> Was there a reason you're asking me to 00:09:34.399 leave? 00:09:34.640 >> You need to leave. I've asked you to 00:09:36.160 leave. You need to leave. You need to 00:09:37.680 leave. I've asked you how many times to 00:09:39.040 leave. I've been asking to leave. 00:09:40.560 >> Eventually, the owner of the store 00:09:41.839 called in and asked if you could talk to 00:09:43.600 me. 00:09:43.920 >> Are you the owner of the the bricks and 00:09:45.360 mini store? 00:09:46.560 >> Yeah. Why? What do you got? So, 00:09:48.560 basically, I just wanted to get some of 00:09:50.399 the Legos back that you guys still have. 00:09:52.399 I think I'm looking for the like the 00:09:54.959 clone turbo tank. 00:09:56.560 >> Why Why do you think you would be 00:09:58.080 entitled to our inventory? 00:10:00.480 >> Well, at least I confirmed the Legos are 00:10:02.399 still here. The only thing is the 00:10:04.560 owner's claiming that he's the owner of 00:10:06.640 these Lego sets. I mean, it's pretty 00:10:08.880 stupid of him to say that considering 00:10:10.480 I'm literally holding a copy of a 00:10:12.080 contract he made with the store that 00:10:13.600 said that this Lego Star Wars collection 00:10:15.680 is not the store's property. It's the 00:10:18.079 family's property. The contract makes 00:10:20.160 all of this very clear. So, I want to 00:10:22.800 give him one more chance to answer a 00:10:24.480 little bit better. 00:10:25.200 >> Well, I I just want to get it back to my 00:10:27.120 friends. He said he couldn't get it 00:10:28.240 back. So, I was just wondering if I 00:10:29.920 could just come pick him up cuz you guys 00:10:31.519 still have them, right? 00:10:33.680 True. Why do you think your friend would 00:10:35.680 be entitled to our inventory? 00:10:37.680 >> What's his? He owns the Legos. 00:10:40.079 >> Huh? He doesn't own the Legos. 00:10:42.640 >> Well, yeah, we have a contract. He He 00:10:44.079 does own them. 00:10:45.360 >> No, bro. Are you an idiot? Are you 00:10:47.600 stupid? 00:10:48.640 >> Uh, you 00:10:50.560 >> Josh, the police the the police are 00:10:52.720 showing up right now. 00:10:54.000 >> Hey, how's it going? 00:10:54.880 >> Well, at least the police are here now. 00:10:56.560 So, once I show them the contract we're 00:10:58.320 in with the store, we can finally get 00:10:59.920 the Legos back. Basically, we have I 00:11:01.920 think it's like $200,000 worth of Lego 00:11:03.839 sets that we just have them in the store 00:11:06.079 and we just like to pick them up, I 00:11:07.279 guess, cuz they were going to sell it 00:11:08.399 for us, but I guess they're not selling 00:11:09.519 it for us anymore. 00:11:10.480 >> Um, but it doesn't sound like they want 00:11:11.839 you here, right? So, they 00:11:13.200 >> Well, but they they have our sets 00:11:14.399 though. Yeah, 00:11:15.760 >> understand that. Right here, the fact is 00:11:18.240 that they don't want you. They're 00:11:19.279 privately owned store and they don't 00:11:20.399 want you on the 00:11:21.680 >> but I don't want them to keep the Lego 00:11:23.440 sets though. 00:11:24.160 >> Okay. So yeah, 00:11:25.760 >> the police officer literally didn't care 00:11:27.519 at all that the store just stole 00:11:29.440 $200,000 worth of Legos. For some 00:11:31.839 reason, he made it seem like I was the 00:11:33.600 bad guy. 00:11:34.320 >> So you are trespass from here. 00:11:36.320 >> Trespass for life. So if you come back 00:11:37.920 >> Oh, for life? 00:11:38.880 >> Yeah. If you come back, you you could be 00:11:40.800 arrested. Okay. 00:11:41.920 >> Oh, so how do I uh get the Legos back 00:11:44.720 then if I can't go in the store? 00:11:46.079 >> We we talked about that. Do you 00:11:47.360 understand the trespass portion? If you 00:11:48.800 come back, you will be arrested. Okay. 00:11:51.760 >> So 00:11:52.959 >> again, Rob, 00:11:54.640 You come back, we're in the cotton or 00:11:56.399 we're going to arrest you. 00:11:57.760 >> Uhhuh. 00:11:58.160 >> Brian did warn me that the police are 00:12:00.480 actively trying to cover this up. So 00:12:02.720 Brian and I are now officially trespass 00:12:04.959 from the store and if we ever come back 00:12:07.040 to ask for his own Lego collection back, 00:12:09.839 then we are going to be arrested. 00:12:12.000 >> Is there I guess a reason why they're 00:12:14.800 able to just take all the Legos and not 00:12:16.480 give it back or 00:12:17.600 >> So we just got to leave. 00:12:20.079 >> I just have to leave. 00:12:20.800 >> So not. 00:12:22.079 >> Okay. Okay. 00:12:22.720 >> I'm not allowed to be in the parking 00:12:23.760 lot. 00:12:24.240 >> No. So, this is all private property. 00:12:26.320 >> Oh, okay. Okay. 00:12:28.639 >> Okay. 00:12:29.839 >> We've been filming for 10 minutes and 00:12:31.360 I'm already trespassed from Bricks and 00:12:32.880 Minigs, which is like the whole location 00:12:35.120 of the video. So, how do I film a video 00:12:36.959 of Bricks and Miniigs now if I can't 00:12:38.560 even legally go back there? So, to 00:12:40.720 continue the video without getting 00:12:42.000 arrested, I went back to Bricks and 00:12:43.839 Minifigs corporate offices. and the 00:12:46.079 Bricks and Minifig CEO, the guy who runs 00:12:48.880 the entire company, Ammon McNe, he 00:12:52.079 personally came out to talk to us. 00:12:53.760 >> So, what's going on? 00:12:55.279 >> So, you guys are holding some of our 00:12:56.560 Legos. 00:12:57.040 >> No, we're not. 00:12:58.160 >> You're not? 00:12:58.880 >> No. 00:13:00.079 >> Is that a lie? 00:13:01.120 >> No. 00:13:02.079 >> That's That's a lie. Uh, you did take 00:13:04.079 the Legos. 00:13:04.800 >> No, you So, we have our our attorneys 00:13:08.320 have visited Well, like again, so who's 00:13:11.360 like 00:13:11.760 >> Brian Menel. 00:13:12.959 >> Okay. And who is that? Uh, he's a guy 00:13:15.200 who had a bunch of He had like $200,000 00:13:17.200 worth of Legos in your guys' store. 00:13:19.040 Nope. 00:13:20.320 >> Never happened. 00:13:22.240 >> I mean, it did happen. Yeah, it it does 00:13:24.399 happen. 00:13:24.720 >> No, we did not. 00:13:25.839 >> Yeah, cuz his Legos were in the store 00:13:27.120 and you guys took them. I know you think 00:13:29.040 lying to us right now is kind of like 00:13:30.800 helping you out. 00:13:31.440 >> I'm not lying to you. 00:13:32.560 >> Well, we both know you're lying, but 00:13:34.560 >> No, we don't know that. 00:13:35.680 >> So, I showed him some social media posts 00:13:37.519 his own company made that are still up 00:13:40.000 that claims that these are Brian 00:13:41.519 Mancel's Lego sets. And these LEGO sets 00:13:43.519 sets are still holding on to are worth 00:13:45.360 $200,000. But all of these claims are 00:13:47.680 from his own company. We just caught the 00:13:50.480 CEO of the entire company red-handed in 00:13:53.519 a lie. Yeah, it's crazy to me that even 00:13:55.920 the CEO is in on this cover up. But 00:13:58.320 anyways, now that we just caught the CEO 00:14:00.079 in this lie, I wanted to let him know 00:14:01.760 that it's going to be much easier if he 00:14:03.519 just gives us the Legos back now. 00:14:05.279 >> If you just want to give it back now, 00:14:06.480 it's going to be a lot easier for you 00:14:07.920 guys. You know, I think you guys would 00:14:10.959 prefer the easy way. 00:14:12.800 um the hard way. I don't think you guys 00:14:14.720 are really going to like it. 00:14:16.160 >> No. Okay. 00:14:16.959 >> But we're getting him back either way. 00:14:18.240 So, it's like you can either 00:14:19.199 >> So, you can leave. If you come back 00:14:20.639 here, we will call the cops. If you 00:14:22.000 don't leave right now, I will call the 00:14:23.279 cops. 00:14:23.600 >> So, you don't want to do the easy way. 00:14:25.680 >> So, you're threatening me. What you are 00:14:27.680 doing right now is illegal. It's an 00:14:29.360 extortion. 00:14:30.720 >> So, catching you guys in illegal 00:14:32.320 activity, that's illegal on me. 00:14:35.839 >> Okay. You've been asked to leave. Please 00:14:37.279 leave. And with that, Bricks and Mini 00:14:40.160 Figs has made their decision. I 00:14:42.320 presented them very politely with the 00:14:44.000 easy way, and they said, "Heck no." 00:14:47.760 Well, they've only left me one other 00:14:49.440 option, which is the hard way. 00:14:53.519 But now it's pretty much the super hard 00:14:55.360 way because the police are protecting 00:14:57.120 them. If I ever go back to the store, 00:14:59.519 I'm getting arrested. 00:15:00.880 >> If you come back, you will be arrested. 00:15:03.120 Okay? You understand that? So, we all 00:15:05.120 regrouped together to re-watch the 00:15:06.639 footage I've gotten so far. And there 00:15:08.320 was one thing the manager said that 00:15:10.320 might be a way forward for us. 00:15:11.920 >> I have not heard anything from the 00:15:13.040 owners. 00:15:13.920 >> So, you need to leave. 00:15:15.279 >> Can I talk to the owners then? Or 00:15:16.639 >> you go ahead and call the owners. 00:15:18.399 >> Uh, do you have their number? 00:15:19.600 >> I'm not giving it to you. 00:15:20.800 >> Why won't you give it to me? 00:15:28.720 >> Cuz isn't that the logical next step 00:15:30.160 before we're supposed to work with the 00:15:31.519 owners 00:15:32.160 >> right there? Right. I I have I have the 00:15:34.320 Lego sets you guys have, but I don't 00:15:35.680 have the owner's number. No. 00:15:39.920 So, yeah, if you give me the if that's 00:15:41.760 what you want me to do, then you give me 00:15:43.360 the number and I can 00:15:44.399 >> No, I want you to leave. 00:15:45.839 >> Basically, she's putting all of the 00:15:47.199 blame on the owner of the store, which 00:15:48.959 is good to find out. The only problem is 00:15:51.759 she's not giving me the owner's number. 00:15:53.680 >> Yeah, if you could give me a number and 00:15:54.880 we could call. 00:15:55.279 >> I'm not giving you anything except for 00:15:56.800 calling the police. 00:15:58.560 >> But you told me to call the owners, 00:16:00.320 right? 00:16:00.639 >> You're absolutely right. But I've asked 00:16:02.000 you how many times to leave the store. 00:16:03.279 >> But you have his number or 00:16:04.480 >> No, I don't have any of their numbers. 00:16:06.480 >> Dang. 00:16:07.199 >> That's why I was like, corporate keeps 00:16:08.720 telling me to contact the owners of the 00:16:10.560 store, but with no contact info. So, I 00:16:12.320 try to contact the store and the store 00:16:13.680 hangs up on me and says I'm harassing 00:16:15.279 him. The manager is really trying to 00:16:18.000 protect the store owner from getting in 00:16:19.519 trouble. So, if she's not going to give 00:16:22.000 me his number, I'm just going to have to 00:16:23.519 find it a different way. 00:16:25.920 >> When she hands me the phone, we might be 00:16:28.079 able to see his name and number. Josh 00:16:30.560 Lego. 00:16:31.279 >> Well, we found out the owner's name is 00:16:32.959 Josh. However, the number was way too 00:16:35.839 blurry on the spy glasses. 00:16:37.440 >> No, it's so blurry. 00:16:39.199 >> So, I checked the store's Instagram to 00:16:40.880 see if it follows anyone named Josh, 00:16:42.639 which it doesn't. So, I checked their 00:16:45.120 business records, but everything got 00:16:47.519 scrubbed. This owner is really going to 00:16:50.160 any length he can to stay fully 00:16:52.560 anonymous. 00:16:54.720 After watching the footage over and 00:16:56.560 over, my final conclusion is, yeah, the 00:16:59.440 manager sucks, but she's not really the 00:17:01.920 mastermind of this whole thing. She's 00:17:03.839 just protecting the mastermind of this 00:17:05.280 whole thing because she's brainwashed. 00:17:07.599 But luckily for me, through my YouTube 00:17:09.280 career, I've infiltrated tons of cults, 00:17:11.359 and I've personally experienced some of 00:17:13.199 the most intense and crazy brainwashing 00:17:15.679 in the entire world. Basically, what I'm 00:17:17.760 trying to say is I'm pretty sure that I 00:17:19.679 could brainwash one of these bricks and 00:17:20.959 minigs employees way harder than any 00:17:23.839 corporate offices could. 00:17:26.559 And yes, that's the plan. 00:17:30.640 Brainwash the Bricks and Minigs 00:17:32.160 employees to be on my side. Yeah, I'm 00:17:34.559 starting a Lego cult. I I mean, a true 00:17:37.280 cult would never actually call 00:17:38.799 themselves a cult. Uh they always 00:17:40.559 disguise themselves as something else. 00:17:42.000 So, yes, I'm actually just starting a 00:17:44.320 regular old Lego club. Yep, that's what 00:17:46.640 we're calling it. My friend Victor is 00:17:48.640 going to be the cult recruiter. I 00:17:50.240 dressed him up to look like a famous 00:17:51.600 YouTuber so he would look powerful and 00:17:53.919 the employees here will have to listen 00:17:56.000 to him. 00:17:57.919 My name's Victor. We're going to Bricks 00:18:00.240 and Minigs. Let's go. 00:18:02.320 >> All right, guys. We are heading into the 00:18:04.320 store right now. 00:18:05.120 >> He was doing amazing, but we had to make 00:18:07.360 sure that these employees know that 00:18:09.919 Victor is the real deal. 00:18:11.919 >> Dude, that's crazy. 00:18:13.039 >> Dang. Let's go. just 00:18:16.160 >> Yo, we got a fan over here. One, two, 00:18:18.559 three. Toys for everyone. Yeah. Real 00:18:21.200 quick pick. Hey, I'll show you that clip 00:18:23.280 later. All right. 00:18:25.120 >> So far, everything we had set up was 00:18:27.200 working perfectly, but now we have to 00:18:29.840 come up with some type of way to get one 00:18:31.679 of these employees out of the store so 00:18:34.160 we can brainwash them. 00:18:36.880 >> Hey, what's going on? So, we're filming 00:18:38.240 a quick video. Maybe you and uh her want 00:18:40.240 to do like some kind of challenge for 00:18:41.679 like a hundred bucks. 00:18:43.600 >> I mean, sure. I'm I'm down for that. I 00:18:45.919 just I don't whatever. What's happening 00:18:47.520 right now? Do they believe it? 00:18:48.720 >> He's doing the challenge. They're doing 00:18:50.640 the challenge. 00:18:52.320 >> 3 2 1 yellow. Go go go go go go go. 00:18:56.640 >> And these employees started their 00:18:58.240 YouTube challenge. 00:18:59.919 >> And yeah, I'm just going to fast forward 00:19:01.280 through this part. Um I'm not going to 00:19:03.039 torture you guys with all this. All you 00:19:05.360 really need to know is that this girl 00:19:06.799 ended up winning. 00:19:07.600 >> High five. Sweet. So now I'm going to 00:19:09.520 call my uh producer. It's going right 00:19:11.520 now. 00:19:13.840 How's it going? 00:19:14.480 >> So, we have uh the winner right over 00:19:16.000 here. 00:19:16.400 >> We're partnering with the local Lego 00:19:18.160 club and we're going to kind of do like 00:19:19.679 an award ceremon. Like the Lego club 00:19:21.120 wants to host the awards ceremony for 00:19:22.559 you. So, uh yeah. 00:19:25.039 >> And just like that, she's in. So, we 00:19:28.320 traveled deep into the woods and waited 00:19:30.799 for this employee to show up. 00:19:40.880 And with that, our new cult member has 00:19:43.520 arrived. 00:19:45.360 You're the Lego queen. 00:19:46.400 >> Yes, she's the Lego queen. 00:19:48.400 >> Before you can brainwash someone, they 00:19:50.240 have to be open to it. And most cults 00:19:52.240 achieve this by making the new recruit 00:19:54.320 seem like the most special person in the 00:19:56.720 entire world. 00:19:57.520 >> Official best employee of bricks and 00:19:59.200 mini. 00:19:59.760 >> The winner goes to California. 00:20:04.799 Lego Queen. Lego Queen. LEGO QUEEN. LEGO 00:20:08.320 QUEEN. Lego Queen. Lego Queen. Lego 00:20:11.200 Queen. Lego Queen. Lego. 00:20:13.840 >> Another thing I've personally seen a lot 00:20:15.280 of cults do is they instantly give new 00:20:17.520 recruits power. 00:20:18.720 >> Manchester has just joined the SE 00:20:21.679 organization. 00:20:24.640 >> If people feel powerful, they're less 00:20:26.640 likely to think that they're the ones 00:20:28.480 that are being manipulated. So, we got 00:20:30.480 to give this girl some power. 00:20:31.919 >> You give me power? 00:20:32.880 >> Yes. 00:20:33.120 >> Yeah. What do you mean power? You're 00:20:34.799 >> queen says jump. I feel like I can do 00:20:37.760 anything I want. Just step on the Lego. 00:20:39.919 >> Oh my god. 00:20:43.120 >> Beautiful pile. 00:20:51.760 >> Lastly, all cults do group rituals to 00:20:54.720 make you feel like one with the group. 00:20:56.880 So now we have to become one with this 00:20:59.120 bricks and mini figs employee. 00:21:01.360 >> Brick by brick. Brick by brick. Brick by 00:21:04.880 brick. Brick by brick. BRICK BY BRICK. 00:21:08.080 BRICK BY BRICK. BRICK BY BRICK. BRICK 00:21:10.559 BY. And now the employee is fully 00:21:14.000 brainwashed. 00:21:15.679 Okay, maybe not fully brainwashed, but 00:21:17.840 we definitely did a much better job at 00:21:19.679 brainwashing her than corporate bricks 00:21:21.520 and mini figs did. So hopefully now I'm 00:21:24.000 finally safe to bring up these Star Wars 00:21:26.000 Lego sets. 00:21:27.120 >> We heard something about like some like 00:21:28.720 Star Wars sets. Do you know anything 00:21:30.400 about that or 00:21:31.360 >> I know some of it. They were going to 00:21:33.200 reimburse him for everything and then I 00:21:35.679 think they did and he's still upset 00:21:37.360 about everything which I get. 00:21:38.640 >> They reimbured him for everything. 00:21:40.080 >> Yeah. Yeah. We don't have any of his 00:21:41.600 stuff on the shelves 00:21:42.480 >> really. 00:21:42.799 >> Yeah. We don't have any of it. 00:21:44.000 >> But just like every other cult member 00:21:45.679 out there, these employees have been 00:21:47.840 told a lie and are now willing to pretty 00:21:50.480 much die to defend this lie. But good 00:21:52.720 thing now she's been brainwashed even 00:21:54.640 harder by our cult. And our cult is now 00:21:57.120 going to give her the freedom to finally 00:21:59.200 be able to think logically about the 00:22:00.720 situation. So we think we think they've 00:22:03.120 been lying to you. So these were all the 00:22:04.720 sets in the store and they're all 00:22:05.919 metadata timestamped. 00:22:07.280 >> Wait, we do have these ones. 00:22:08.559 >> Yeah, those are all his. 00:22:10.000 >> No, some of them I think we do still 00:22:11.440 have. 00:22:11.760 >> Yeah, I know you guys do. You showed me 00:22:13.120 one of them when I asked. 00:22:15.760 >> Wait, your the called on you? 00:22:18.400 >> Yeah, all I did was 00:22:19.360 >> Oh my god. 00:22:23.200 You know what's really funny is after 00:22:24.400 you left, I got a call from my boss and 00:22:26.320 it was like, "How do we get them 00:22:27.200 arrested?" 00:22:28.080 >> Dang. 00:22:28.400 >> How do we get them arrested? 00:22:29.919 >> Now that we have a Bricks and Minigs 00:22:31.440 employee on our side, it's time to 00:22:34.000 finally complete our mission and get 00:22:36.159 Josh the owner's number. 00:22:38.480 >> But you have like their numbers and 00:22:39.760 stuff, right? 00:22:40.240 >> Yeah, I do. 00:22:41.280 >> Oh, do you give me Josh's number? 00:22:45.919 >> Can I take a picture of it? 00:22:46.960 >> Yeah. 00:22:48.000 >> Oh, nice. Well, now that I have the 00:22:49.919 owner's number, it's time to give him a 00:22:52.000 call. 00:22:53.600 >> Hello, this is Joshua. 00:22:55.120 >> Hello. I uh I'm just calling to get my 00:22:58.080 Legos back. I think they told me to talk 00:23:00.640 to you about it. 00:23:03.039 >> Oh, okay. Yeah. What Legos? 00:23:05.840 >> I think it's the Star Wars set. I have a 00:23:07.840 list. I can kind of pull it up. I was 00:23:09.600 just wondering like how we can get them 00:23:11.200 back. Should I like if uh I get You're 00:23:13.600 okay, I can just walk in the store and 00:23:15.360 >> I don't I don't know what Legos you're 00:23:17.360 talking about, dude. What? Lego, what 00:23:18.880 are you talking about? 00:23:20.320 >> I think one of them's called like the 00:23:21.679 super trooper set. I think the 00:23:25.120 We got What else is there? 00:23:26.720 >> I don't know what you're talking about. 00:23:28.159 Keep going. 00:23:29.760 >> You don't? Since Josh was pretending to 00:23:31.919 not remember any of the Star Wars sets 00:23:33.760 that make up half of his store's 00:23:35.280 inventory, I decided to send him over a 00:23:37.760 picture of the contract to store in. 00:23:39.840 >> What? 00:23:40.000 >> What contract is it? I don't I didn't 00:23:41.679 sign a contract. 00:23:43.280 >> I didn't I didn't sign that agreement. I 00:23:44.720 didn't agree to anything in that. And 00:23:46.480 now I finally understand the legal 00:23:48.640 loophole that Josh is using to get away 00:23:50.480 with this. And it's probably the 00:23:52.640 stupidest loophole I've ever heard in my 00:23:54.159 entire life. Josh is claiming that it's 00:23:56.400 not his name on the contract, it's the 00:23:58.400 previous owners, which makes no sense 00:24:00.720 because in the security camera footage, 00:24:02.799 he tells the previous owner that he's 00:24:04.799 going to be the one taking over the 00:24:06.000 contract. Now, if they own the business, 00:24:08.320 he takes on all that. 00:24:10.640 I guess this is some sort of just 00:24:12.240 contract loophole he's trying to use to 00:24:14.400 steal the world's largest Lego Star Wars 00:24:16.720 collection. 00:24:18.080 >> In order for me to be under contract, I 00:24:19.919 have to sign something. 00:24:22.159 >> Or you had to take it over from the 00:24:23.600 previous owner, right? 00:24:25.600 >> Nope. That's not how the law works. 00:24:28.799 >> Yeah, it is. 00:24:30.559 >> It is. 00:24:32.240 >> So, if that's how the law works, then 00:24:34.159 sue me for it. 00:24:36.320 You don't just want to give the Legos 00:24:38.080 back like 00:24:40.720 >> let's go to court. 00:24:42.400 >> I'm calling the police right now and you 00:24:45.120 guys are going to be arrested for 00:24:46.320 harassment. 00:24:48.559 >> It it do you feel threatened right now? 00:24:51.440 >> Yeah. 00:24:52.000 >> I was surprised at how much the owner 00:24:53.760 wanted us to sue him. He wants this 00:24:55.919 because Brian already tried to sue him 00:24:58.000 and it didn't work. We've been to a 00:25:01.120 couple attorneys and they basically 00:25:02.799 spelled it out saying here's the path 00:25:04.559 that's going to happen if you go down 00:25:06.080 each of these routes. They're now in 00:25:07.679 Spain. So, we're getting into that whole 00:25:09.600 international thing just to have an 00:25:11.440 injunction on the store to have them go 00:25:13.360 back and prove what they sold and not. 00:25:15.120 That's like $60 to $70,000. 00:25:17.919 >> Yeah. Bricks and Miniigs knows that 00:25:20.000 Brian and his dad don't have nearly 00:25:22.159 enough resources to sue a company as big 00:25:24.240 as Bricks and Miniigs. 00:25:25.520 >> He's like, "We're going to keep these. 00:25:27.919 uh you're you're going to walk away from 00:25:29.679 this. You're not coming back. And if you 00:25:32.480 choose to sue us, we will drag this out 00:25:34.640 in court till it is well past what this 00:25:36.960 collection is worth. So, let's lay out 00:25:38.559 the puzzle pieces really quick. If Brian 00:25:40.720 and his dad sue Bricks and Minigs, it's 00:25:43.440 going to ruin their lives. And by the 00:25:45.200 way, this Bricks and Minigs company has 00:25:46.799 been treating this family. I only think 00:25:48.799 it's fair if if they're the ones that 00:25:50.640 get their lives ruined. 00:25:52.720 In order to make things right, it looks 00:25:54.720 like we got to do this. 00:25:59.200 Now, Bricks and Minigs has their life 00:26:00.880 ruined. And you can see Brian and uh us, 00:26:04.159 we are the ones now doing the illegal 00:26:05.600 activity. 00:26:06.320 >> So, I told my group the plan. We have to 00:26:08.559 do something illegal. 00:26:09.760 >> I thought you said you didn't want to do 00:26:11.120 anything illegal. 00:26:12.000 >> You're right. 00:26:12.480 >> Well, but the thing is they're getting 00:26:14.320 screwed because of it because they would 00:26:15.760 have to upfront the cost and if they 00:26:17.520 take us to court then 00:26:20.159 I'm down for the illegal stuff. 00:26:21.679 >> And the group is in. So, now it's time 00:26:24.000 to do an illegal business move against 00:26:25.679 Bricks and Minigs. Let's just hope that 00:26:27.679 they take the bait and sue us. 00:26:30.640 >> What I was thinking is what's the 00:26:32.080 easiest way to get them to sue us? We 00:26:34.240 steal their name. 00:26:38.159 >> That's good. 00:26:39.679 >> Oh man. 00:26:40.799 >> Perfect. First, I went to Google Maps 00:26:43.039 and took a screenshot of the sign 00:26:44.320 outside their store. I got rid of their 00:26:46.400 tagline cuz it's boring and I changed it 00:26:48.880 to we steal from old people. And now the 00:26:52.159 tagline's actually accurate. Also added 00:26:54.159 a cute little company logo. And this is 00:26:56.159 my plan of how I'm going to make it into 00:26:58.159 court with Bricks and Minigs for free. 00:27:02.320 Once we're in court, we can finally hold 00:2
