PRIMARY SOURCEthe store’s own flyer and video

This is the plain-language version of the cited update, written to be read out loud. Nothing here is a court ruling, and everyone named is presumed to have acted lawfully.

On Small Business Saturday, November 29, 2025, 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. A used-LEGO store running a used-set sale is an ordinary thing. What is worth writing down is when it happened, and which store it was.

The store’s own words

The store posted a flyer and a video to promote the day, and every word on them is the store’s. The flyer says the party room would be “PACKED WITH USED SETS,” discounted more steeply as the day went on, ten percent in the morning rising to forty percent by evening, with the bulk tables at half off. The video is a short hype reel that ends on the storefront and its address, “780 BLAIR BLVD.” That is the Eugene store. And in the company’s own 2026 disclosure document, the operator of the Eugene store, and of the Keizer store the seized collection came from, is the same man.

Set it against the truck

Two weeks before this sale, over one weekend, a moving truck ran two round trips between the Eugene and Keizer stores, and on the middle day the owner was filmed behind the Keizer counter saying he had been at Eugene that morning. Twelve days later, on the next big retail weekend, the Eugene store emptied its used-set room at up to forty percent off. The record does not say what was in the truck. It says the truck ran, twice, and it says what the store did two weeks later, in the store’s own words.

Whose used sets

This is the store that took in Bryan Mansell’s consigned collection, which is the subject of the Keizer file. Two things from that file are worth repeating here, because most people have not seen them. The collection did not trickle in the way ordinary walk-in trades do; it landed in a burst. On a single two-day sitting just before Christmas 2024, about five weeks after the November seizure, the Eugene store’s own online catalog logged twenty-three used Star Wars sets at once. Nothing here claims this sale moved his particular sets. It sets down, side by side, a truck that ran twice between the two stores and a store that held its biggest used-set sale of the year two weeks later.

This is a plain-language retelling. The flyer, the video, and the exact words are in the full update. Nothing here is a finding of law.
