Reckless Bricks took its bus to a Tucson craft fair on November 14. The bus, seen at the end of Reckless Ben’s Part 4, opened on November 11.
Reckless Ben released Part 4 of his series on Bricks & Minifigs on November 10, 2026. In its last minutes it shows a shuttle bus being painted, over a card with a Tucson address. At noon MST on November 11 the bus stood at that address with a tent beside it and LEGO sets, other toys and shirts for sale. On November 14 the shop set up at the Saguaro Trails Vendor & Craft Fair, and Total AFOL streamed both days.
PRIMARY SOURCETotal AFOL’s live streams from Tucson on November 11 and 14, 2026, and their listings; the website of Reckless Bricks & Toys, which gives the addresses, the dates and the hours; and Reckless Ben’s Part 4, uploaded November 10, 2026, whose last minutes show the bus and the address.
AS REPORTEDWhat Part 4 says about the lease on the original store is its makers’ account, relayed from the store’s owner and his landlord.
UNRESOLVEDWho sent the locksmith to the original store on September 23, and whether BAM holds the lease there. BAM’s newsroom has no item on the video or the bus.
At noon MST on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, a shuttle bus painted with the words Reckless Bricks stood in the parking lot of Ben’s Bikes, a bicycle shop at 7431 S. Houghton Road in Tucson. A canopy and folding tables stood beside it, with LEGO sets, other toys and Reckless Bricks shirts for sale. Besides the name, the bus carries painted scenes of a desert and a forest and lines about the dispute. They name no company.
How the bus got to Tucson
Part 4, reported here on November 13, runs 56 minutes. In its last minutes Reckless Ben says the plan is to “get TJ a bus” (TJ is the owner of the original store), and that the theater premiere in Los Angeles, set for November 4, doubled as a search for a second driver: “an elaborate ruse,” in his words. A man from the audience volunteered. The video then shows the bus being painted, over a card that reads “Ben’s Bikes: 7431 S Houghton Rd, Tucson, AZ 85747.”
What the store says
On November 11 the store’s own website, recklessbricks.store, was headed Grand Reopening, with this announcement.
Join Reckless Bricks & Toys at our new Tucson home, located in the parking lot of Ben’s Bikes, 7431 S Houghton Rd, Tucson, AZ 85747. We can’t wait to welcome you back! Doors open at noon (12:00 PM MST).
The craft fair
On November 13 the store’s website said rain might limit setup at the bicycle shop that day and announced the next stop. On Saturday, November 14, Reckless Bricks set up at the Saguaro Trails Vendor & Craft Fair, 9925 E. Drexel Road, and Total AFOL streamed it live from 10:04 a.m. MST. The stream’s listing put the shop’s canopy and tables “on the baseball field” and the bus “parked separately at the event.” The stream opens on the bus and then walks to the booth, where LEGO sets stood on wire shelves and Reckless Bricks shirts hung on a rack.
From the store to the bus
BAM’s store locator lists two Tucson stores, Tucson Central and Tucson Northwest, and no Southeast Tucson store.
Part 4 also gives an account of the original store’s lease. It relays that the landlord told the store’s owner “corporate has assumed the lease,” and says BAM is paying the rent on a closed store. That is the video’s account, at third hand. BAM has not said in public whether it holds the lease.
The fair reading, and its limit. A bus in a parking lot is a promotion as well as a shop, and both streams were made by a supporter. The lines painted on the bus are one side’s words in a dispute, and they name no company. No court has ruled on anything that happened at the Tucson store. The police dispatch record logs the owner’s 911 call of September 29 as a civil issue, and a franchise agreement can give a franchisor rights over a location when a franchise ends. The right of reply is open to BAM, to the landlord, to Reckless Ben and to the store.
