The Eugene sale

Two weeks after a U-Haul ran two round trips between the two stores, Brandon Best’s Eugene store advertised its biggest used-set sale of the year. The party room, it said, would be “packed with used sets.” This is the store where Bryan Mansell’s consigned collection was catalogued and sold.

On November 29, 2025 — Small Business Saturday — the Bricks & Minifigs store in Eugene held what it called, on its own Facebook page, “OUR BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR.” It was a used-set sale. The store said its party room would be “packed with used sets,” discounted more steeply as the day wore on, and its bulk tables would be half off. That is an ordinary thing for a used-Lego store to do. What is worth setting down is when it happened, and which store it was.

The store’s own flyer PRIMARY SOURCE

The store posted this to promote the day. Every word on it is the store’s.

In the store’s words: “USED SET SALE ON SATURDAY… PARTY ROOM WILL BE PACKED WITH USED SETS,” at “10% OFF 10AM–12PM, 20% OFF 12PM–2PM, 30% OFF 2PM–4PM, 40% OFF 4PM–8PM,” with “BULK TABLES ARE 50% OFF.” The caption underneath: “SATURDAY ONLY! USED SET SALE! From 10% rising to 40% as the day goes on! OUR BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR!!! BE THERE!!!” with hashtags #starwars #legostarwars #legocastle #legomodular.

The store’s own video PRIMARY SOURCE

It ran a hype reel for the sale as well. It closes on the storefront.

The reel ends on the words “780 BLAIR BLVD!” over the storefront. That is the Eugene store, and in BAM’s own 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit F, the operator of the Eugene store — and of the Keizer store the collection came from — is the same man: Brandon Best.

When it happened CONFIRMED

Set the sale against the truck.

Sat–Mon
Nov 15–17, 2025
The third U-Haul. Out of a Eugene storage lot at 12:19 a.m., back by Monday. The paid invoice works out to about 305 miles — two round trips between Eugene and Keizer. On the middle day, a customer filmed the owner behind the Keizer counter, saying he had been “at Eugene earlier today.”
Sat
Nov 29, 2025
Twelve days later — the next big retail weekend, Small Business Saturday — the Eugene store runs its biggest used-set sale of the year, the party room “packed with used sets.”

Two round trips of a truck between the stores, and then, the next sale weekend, the receiving store empties its used-set room at up to forty percent off. The record does not say what was in the truck. It does say the truck ran, twice, and it says what the store did two weeks later, in the store’s own words.

Whose used sets CORROBORATED

This is the store that took in Bryan Mansell’s consigned collection. That is not new to this page; it is the subject of the Keizer file, and two of its findings are worth showing here, because most people have not seen them.

First, the collection did not trickle in the way walk-in trades do. It landed in a burst. On a single two-day sitting, December 23–24, 2024 — thirty-nine days after the November 14 seizure — the Eugene store’s own online catalog logged twenty-three used Star Wars sets at once, against a normal pace of about two a day.

Chart: a single tall spike of 23 used Star Wars sets catalogued at the Eugene store across December 23-24, 2024, far above the roughly two-per-day baseline, 39 days after the November 14 2024 seizure.
Used Star Wars sets catalogued per day in the Eugene store’s own online listings. The lone spike is the December 23–24, 2024 sitting: twenty-three sets, 39 days after the seizure. Computed from the store’s public catalog. Full method: the Keizer file.

Second, the collection has a shape no ordinary resale inventory has. A store buying used Lego on the open market ends up with mostly one of each set. Mansell’s consigned lot held the same set over and over — one set thirty times, another twenty-one times, a third nineteen — the fingerprint of a single collection built and handed over as a whole, not stock bought one box at a time.

Bar chart titled The copy-count signature no reseller can fake: set 75125 held 30 copies, set 9488 held 21, set 75126 held 19, and a long tail of sets held four to ten times each in the seized lot.
Copies of each set number in the seized lot. Thirty of one set, twenty-one of another: a collection, not open-market stock. Source: the joint forensic reconciliation. Full method: the Keizer file.
The full record The Keizer file How Bryan Mansell’s consigned collection was catalogued at the Eugene store, set by set and date by date — the intake burst, the copy-count fingerprint, the resale timing that cannot be back-dated past the store’s own server clock, and how roughly half of it never surfaced for sale at all.

In fairness: a used-Lego store running a used-set sale is ordinary retail, and the flyer and the video advertise the store’s used inventory in general, not any named person’s sets. Nothing on the flyer, in the video, or on this page shows Bryan Mansell’s specific copies changing hands at this sale, and nothing here is a finding that they did. The dates, the discounts, and the store are the store’s own facts; the collection’s presence at this store is established in the Keizer file. Brandon Best and Bricks & Minifigs are entitled to the presumption of innocence, and no court has ruled on any of this.

A truck ran twice between the two stores. Two weeks later, the store at the receiving end held the biggest used-set sale of its year and told its customers the party room was packed. Both of those are the store’s own account of itself. What sits between them — the collection that came up the road from Keizer — is walked set by set in the Keizer file.

Sources. The promotional video and sale flyer were posted by Bricks & Minifigs Eugene on its official Facebook page on November 29, 2025; the video is reproduced here downscaled for the web (original post). The two charts are computed from the Eugene store’s own public online catalog and from Bryan Mansell’s consignment records, and are documented in full in the Keizer file: the December 23–24, 2024 intake sitting of twenty-three used Star Wars sets, and the per-set copy counts of the seized lot. The third U-Haul (reservation 98444165; out November 15, 2025; about 305 miles / two round trips by the paid invoice) is in The third U-Haul. Brandon Best is listed as operator of the Keizer store (3670 River Road N) and the Eugene store (780 Blair Boulevard) in BAM Franchising’s 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit F. The wider record: the map.
