The last piece followed the trucks. This one follows the storage. A reviewer signed “Brandon B” left public U-Haul reviews at three Oregon self-storage facilities across the year of the takeover. One is a close-out complaint at the same Eugene lot named on Best’s October truck contract. The reviews are a paper trail he left himself. What sat in the units, they do not say.

U-Haul customer-review pages for Silverton, Salem, River Road, Eugene, and Gresham, retrieved July 23, 2026. The two truck rentals are Brandon Best’s contracts 12982152 and 15284899, in the second U-Haul. Best is listed as operator of the Keizer and Eugene stores in BAM’s 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit F. The resale record is the Keizer file.
The last piece followed the trucks Brandon Best rented. This one follows the storage he rented. U-Haul lets a customer rate a location after a truck rental or a self-storage stay, and it posts the rating publicly under the customer’s name, with the facility, the date, and the kind of stay. Across the year around the Keizer takeover, a reviewer signed “Brandon B” left three of them at U-Haul self-storage facilities in Oregon: a move-in in Salem in May 2024, a close-out in Eugene in January 2025, and a third in Gresham that March. The Eugene one is at the same River Road lot named on Best’s October truck contract. Read against the timeline, they put the man in rented storage, in the right places, in the right months. Like the truck receipts, they show the container and not what was inside.
Each review is public on U-Haul’s own site, signed “Brandon B,” posted with the facility, the star rating, the date, and the kind of stay. The three are set out below and linked to the live pages so you can read each one in place.
Salem is the county the Keizer store sits in, and this move-in is about five months before the takeover.
This is the same River Road lot named on Best’s October 24 truck contract, in the city where the collection surfaced for sale, about seven weeks after the takeover.
Gresham is in the Portland metro, off the Salem-to-Eugene line the trucks drove. The loosest of the three, included for completeness.
Set the three reviews inside the record already on this site, and this is the order of it.
The reviews are public and they are signed. What they are not is a receipt for their contents. “Brandon B” is not a full name, and it is a common one, so the identification rests on circumstance. It is strongest in Eugene, where the close-out sits at the very lot named on Best’s October truck contract, in the city where the collection surfaced for sale. It is reasonable in Salem, the county of the target store, five months before the takeover. It is weakest in Gresham, off the line the trucks drove, with nothing written. And none of the three says what was in any unit. A move-in review says a unit was rented. A close-out review says it was given up. Neither says what sat inside in between. The limit that applied to the trucks applies here: the record shows the space, not the contents.
In fairness: renting self-storage is ordinary, and a company that runs stores in a state where its operator does not live may keep storage for plain reasons. A review signed “Brandon B” is not proof of who wrote it, and no review here describes Lego, inventory, or anything taken from Keizer. No court has ruled on any of this. Brandon Best, Josh Johnson, and Bricks & Minifigs are entitled to the presumption of innocence, and nothing here is a finding that any of them committed a crime.
BAM’s story put a camper in Oregon before the takeover and a truck on the road during it. The man’s own reviews put rented storage in Oregon on both sides of it: a unit in Salem before, a unit in Eugene closed out after, at the same lot that rented the truck. What moved through that space, the reviews do not say.
Where the trucks went, and what happened to the collection once it reached Eugene, is a separate record. That the collection arrived all at once, that its resale dates cannot be back-dated past the store’s own server timestamps, and that the specific sets match Bryan Mansell’s consigned collection are walked set by set, date by date, in the Keizer file. The trucks are in the second U-Haul.
