/toy/ — The weirdest thing about all this drama is finding out there

>>11810215 (OP)
Fuck off spammer, we already have one french pedo ruining the catalog

>>11810215 (OP)
It's not that weird. When a product is really popular, really collectable, and potentially really valuable there's obviously going to be tons of people buying and selling it on the secondhand market, enough that you could open up a store just for that.

>>11810215 (OP)
Surely, we needed another thread about this...

Clean it up.

>>11810215 (OP)
It's not surprising when you've seen all the dedicated pop vinyl stores out there.

>>11810215 (OP)
I just can't believe there are so many adults who play with lego and are willing to spend so much money on it and commit crimes over it. The lego section at my target has all the product locked down and alarmed. None of the other toys are like this.

Walmart has their collectible toys in the electronics section, in their own little metal caged jells, behind locks and keys, with the locked electronics.

Only the cheap plastic kiddie shit is on the shelves.

Damn this controversy has gotten out of hand

>>11811518
I remember the ancient times when you could walk in a toy store and find aisles full of action figures and their play sets, both original and licensed IP. What do you see now? Walls of funkos and have baked chinese rip offs that break in two seconds.

>>11813619
My kid is turning four soon and I wanted to take her to an actual toy store so she could pick out her own big gift, but there just aren't any around worth going to. It saddens me that she's excited to go to Target of all places because that's one of the few places left that physically sells actual toys.

.....she also loved going to our local BAM, but I question whether it's worth going back to a place that shady.

Target has like two isles of toys, but back in the day you had like 10 isles dedicated to 5 different age groups. And a toy store was jammed backed. I remember when terminator judgement day came out they had a whole isle dedicated to it. You'd also get weird shit like this TMNT knock off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18IQcEqc1zo

>>11813931
>Target has like two isles of toys
...The hell kind of area do you live in? Even the most out of the way Targets I've been to had an aisle and a half for Lego alone. Which I have to assume is standard because they're a big corporate department store with constant and consistent merchandising guidelines being sent out.
>>11813635
It is still really fucking sad that Target is basically the best thing left outside of small local toy stores, though. Especially with Macy's falsely advertising the good name of Toys R Us like Buffalo Bill slinking around in his girlskin dress.

>>11814066
Yea, every target basically has the same layout these days, especially the toy section. They always have their large Lego/Building/learning section toys, then one of cars and nerf guns, one and a half of action figures, one and a half of dolls and then the toddler toy section.

As soon as TRU fell, *every* target essentially gutted their toy sections to fit more clothing aisles in, since cloths offer them way better returns. You can cram dozens of shirts on one rack, they costs pennies to produce and purchase but can be sold for absurd prices and still fly off the shelves. Toy sections are just there so moms have someplace to toss the kids while they spend hours looking for *that* shirt in their size.

>>11813704
Its unironically over. Dick and minifags are dead as a franchise, ben is going to jail and the money will be confiscated, while the ceo and owner will weasel out and go on to leave consequence free in another company

>>11815725
Just luigi both

>>11815725
Nah, Ben will just get some fines at the worst, he never actually committed any real felonies. Now that he's actually be served, that order against him will have to stand trial and any half decent lawyer will point out the worst claims made against him were entirely false and that order will get tossed right out the window. Meanwhile he's got hours of video evidence and plenty of documentation showing BAM and police corruption, while the first owners who are also suing BAM will be easily able to prove they did nothing wrong, were illegally forced out and that the whole thing was orchestrated by the corporate office right from the start.

If Ben was really in that much trouble, this whole thing wouldn't have blown up so much. Nobody cares if some internet nobody gets tossed in jail. But because it's a massive corporation pulling some incredibly petty stunts with a paper trail that clearly shows their wrongdoing, combined with viable evidence that also implicates massive police corruption, this entire situation will go places.

>>11815798
Nobody is going to do that, Luigi only did what he did because he had serious medical physical health problems and high medical bills. Luigi was backed into a corner of either dying painfully while broke or taking his pain out on someone else.

>>11816352
So then just murder them like a normal person.

>>11816439
Honestly nobody, even the crazies are going to jump to extremes yet. Reckless Ben still has a trial to win. If he loses, there probably still won't be someone crazy enough to "get even" with the Bricks and Minifigs Ceos. And if they is a slight chance of someone willing to risk a prison sentence over Legos, they will never be competent to actually achieve what they want

The McNeffs are trying really fucking hard to pass the buck to Chrystal.

>>11816857
That actually looks uncanny...like it was created with AI.

Important highlights from the Coffeezilla video:
>Ammon and his brother are saying Chrystal stole the legos
>the consignment contract says that most of the collection would be held in an (unspecified) off-site storage location for security reasons; Ammon says this proves they weren't in the store that night
>Chrystal says that after they got safes for the store they just started putting the collection in the safes, and has photos of the legos inside a safe
>an employee of the Eugene, OR BAM location (owned by Brandon and Josh) told Coffeezilla that he spent 4 hours unpacking legos from a u-haul truck that Brandon Best drove from Salem
>Brandon allegedly told this employee that Chrystal "stole a ton of legos and fled the country"
>Chrystal says she saw a u-haul outside the store on the night she was driven out
>Matt McNeff (the CEO, Ammon's brother) says there was no u-haul, just a regular rental car, and that he saw security footage from that night and is certain there was no u-haul in the parking lot
>Coffeezilla found a u-haul very plainly visible in security cam footage from that night, just outside the store's windows
>Ammon, when confronted with this, says two things: Brandon had previously driven a u-haul containing unrelated legos a few weeks before the store handover and the employee was confused about the dates, and Brandon was driving a u-haul on the night of the handover because his rental couldn't tow the trailer he was camping in
>Ammon provides a photo Brandon took of the odometer when he returned the truck to the rental place, timestamped only 3 hours after he left the store and apparently containing a valid geolocation
>Ammon says they have been working with Bryan to resolve this for months but he has refused to provide any paperwork... except the inventory list and contract, which is just "a start"
>Ammon claims they had no point of sale data (the spreadsheet was hosted on corporate's google drive account)
(cont)

>>11817091
>there are lots of sold legos in the POS system that perfectly match items in the collection, but were not marked as part of the consignment deal - it appears huge numbers of legos WERE sold before Chrystal handed over the store, but Bryan wasn't compensated for them
>Chrystal is on camera on the night of the takeover saying that she needed to take the sales data with her so she could pay Bryan for already-sold legos, so corporate knew about this
>there were an insanely high number of layaway sales that were never fully paid off
>apparently layway is extremely rare for BAM to do
>Josh claims there were only 2-3 layaway sales on record when he took over the store, but Chrystal says there were way more, supported by the POS records
>the total value of the legos is around $105,000, with Bryan only being compensated for the sale of around $21,000 worth
>>Bryan made a private sale of around $15,000 that was previously said to be from a separate part of the collection, but every item in photos of the sale matches something on the spreadsheet, so it may be necessary to deduct this from the total

>>11810215 (OP)
You didn't mention the fact that pricks and minidicks shut down the gofundme for Bryan mansells family and a corrupt utah judge served a court order to silence reckless ben and deliberately refused to listen and read the irrefutable evidence he provided for pricks and minidicks? Kill yourself.

>>11817115
>deliberately refused to listen and read the irrefutable evidence he provided for pricks and minidicks
Ben couldn't provide anything to the court yet, the hearing is June 30th where Ben will give his side and the gag order will either be stopped or extended. If the restraining order is extended there'll be no choice but to nuke utah

In other entirely unrelated news, the residents of American Fork are getting a 9% property tax hike this year, in anticipation of the unprecedented number of lawsuits being aimed at the police, and the locals are starting to speak out about the bullshit

>>11817091
>>11817095
Chrystal has a record of theft and is a liberal TDS patient (complete with side-cut). It's clear her and her basedboy husband stole the legos.

>>11817126
I looked into this and the tax hike was proposed about a week before Ben's first video went up. The city claims 100% of the new revenue will go to a specific firehouse.
It sure does make you think, though.

>>11817141
>Chrystal has a record of theft
I forgot to include this in my summary but she has a conviction of theft from 25 years ago when she was 19 and no record, that we know of, since then.
>and is a liberal TDS patient (complete with side-cut)
Why would this make her more likely to steal the legos, Ammon? You're trying way too hard to fit in here.

>>11817143
>I forgot to include this in my summary
convenient
you also forgot to mention the shoddy bookkeeping by Chrystal and how she had paid out only half of the amount listed as sold and had no explanation for it. Also that Chrystal and her husband were late several months on rent of the store, too, which sparked the whole takeover.

>>11817151
>you also forgot to mention the shoddy bookkeeping by Chrystal
I implied this but probably could have made thiit clearer.
>and how she had paid out only half of the amount listed as sold and had no explanation for it.
I did mention this:
>>11817095
>it appears huge numbers of legos WERE sold before Chrystal handed over the store, but Bryan wasn't compensated for them

>Also that Chrystal and her husband were late several months on rent of the store
That's not new information.

You know what I've noticed? An awful lot of anons come into these threads defending BAM while attacking both Ben and Chrystal, and sometimes even Bryan, and an awful lot of those posts include talking points that would appeal to the average /pol/golem, like rambling about Jews or accusations of TDS. None of these posts seem to be critical of mormons. None of the /pol/golem posts seem to be anti-BAM.
Just something curious. Really gets the noggin joggin.

Sounds like the Gormons have underpaid Brian whether intentionally or unintentionally. But that is not Brian's issue - she was still working for BAM and regardless of where the Lego went, it is up to the company to make up for that. Instead Ammon talks about some bullshit "documentation" like it's Brian's responsibility to do a full scale investigation and provide a full inventory of sold and unsold Lego. No dipshit, that's your job.

Then he goes on to explain the uhaul with some bullshit story that I tuned out completely cause he's talking like he was there that day with Brandon sucking his cock on the uhaul. Based on what the store employees said, it's pretty obvious Brandon stole a bunch of the Lego and moved it to his other store.

There's apparently newspaper clips that show Joshua has been missionary buddies with Ammon for decades, and Joshua told the police he is longtime missionary buddies with Brandon. So its likely these three are in on the coverup together, which is why Ammon is so adamant on defending Joshua and Brandon and putting the full blame on Crystal despite the fact that she was also part of his company. Can't wait to see what more the Internet digs up on this whole story.

>>11817159

There's one piece of evidence from the u-haul thing that's worth thinking about: the photo of the truck's odometer. The EXIF data seems to show that this was taken at the rental place, 3 hours after he left the Salem store. If he drove to Eugene, emptied the truck, then drove back to Salem... well, Google says Eugene to Salem is a little more than an hour, so that would leave less than an hour to empty the truck. The employee says it took 4 hours to empty the truck. This doesn't match up.
It is possible that the EXIF data was edited. I'm not sure if it was embedded in a timestamped text that might add some credibility. It's also possible it was faked, perhaps even with the intention of falsifying evidence in case of a lawsuit.
This is a big unanswered question. Hopefully, someone subpoenas the rental company for their records.

>>11817156
that fun is in the old thread >>11808044

>>11817170
Don't think the 4 hour thing is even a big gotcha to the employee's testimony because it could've just taken maybe 1 hour to actually take the Lego out of the truck and then another 3 hours to move into some storage in the store.

>>11817183
>it could've just taken maybe 1 hour to actually take the Lego out of the truck and then another 3 hours to move into some storage in the store.
You know what, that's a very good point.
Though another thing that stood out is that the employee made it sound like after the 4 hours were up, it was around 11 PM. Brandon left the Salem store around 9:45 so it would've been nearly 11 when he arrived. This is, of course, assuming the photo timestamps are accurate.
On the other hand, the employee said Brandon was saying that Chrystal stole legos and fled the country. If this was really an unrelated event several weeks earlier, why would he bring up Chrystal? And why would he say she fled the country when she was still in Salem?

>>11817170
>It is possible that the EXIF data was edited.
Exif data can be modified if you know how, but it's imperfect. Digital forensic experts can tell if that kind of shit has been tampered with. if this case actually makes it to trial, they need to examine ALL the files for this kind of chicanery.

The other thing that got me thinking, was that BAM claimed the uhaul full of merch came from another store in the area that recently went out of business, entirely unrelated to the other 2 stores. Seemed a little odd to me that they would have so many franchise locations so close together to begin with. But it should be pretty easy to see if there was another store, within a 1 hour radius, and identify the exact location, and former owner (s) listed on the public records.

>>11817156

>>11817143
She also clearly mentioned she still had to pay the original owner from sales of the sets when the store was being taken over. If she was trying to steal money, telling the people taking control of your store "i still need to pay someone" is probably the worst way to do it. The takeover was sudd3n, unexpected and entirely unusual, so it could have easily been a case of her having sold sets but not actually having delivered the original owner's share yet because she didn't think she'd be kicked out that day.

Also, she was very directly told those debts were no longer her concern and that the new owners will cover it...and she was told this by corporate while said new owner was right there. So it seems she didn't even try to steal anything and any sets that were sold but never compensated for falls squarely on the new guy's shoulders.

>>11817095

can Ammon prove he sent notices to them? Because as far as I could tell they pulled this out of their ass as soon as they heard Crystal was moving out, and she even gave them a heads up.

here's Ben's legal strategy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGAOYmWuyMQ

>>11817214
If anything, she can prove that corporate wasn't fulfilling their end of the contract by withholding paperwork needed to actually process payments to BAM. The old owners wouldn't be suing BAM if they didn't have a case, because it's an actual financial burden to them.

I have to wonder if he has a real lawyer or if he's such a narcissist he would only hire a simpering yes-man. There's no way his lawyer told him it was a good idea to do all these interviews.
