There's a new interview with Reckless Ben and he reveals kind of why I think the Bricks and Minifigs thing got to where it is. And I'm going to play it. Episode 4, we're just interviewing other franchise owners that have had their franchises stolen by Bricks and Minifigs. The more people I talk to, the more it seems like Bricks and Minifigs hired Josh and Brandon in their specific roles. So when a franchise makes a franchise, they have to upfront about $200,000 and it's their own company. It's not corporate's business, it's their business. They pay corporate a little 6% fee in order to use their brand because this brand is a, this brand is a trustworthy brand. I am paying them to. Is it a trustworthy brand? I didn't hear about it. Their store they built with their, a lot of times their life savings. So what corporate does is they write in the franchise agreement, if you break any of these rules, we can take your things. So they say, show me the franchise, I'll show you the crime, you know? And they go and be like, oh, you were rude to this customer one time. Okay, we can. Oh, they look for any way to take these people's Legos. So when I'm finding out from this interview, at least so far, is it's not just about the Star Wars collection. I think the Star Wars collection was a coincidence. I think this is a pattern that is happening with every Bricks and Minifigs collection and it's only now getting out because of the Lego Star Wars thing and this YouTuber. I think if this, if it wasn't for that Star Wars Lego guy and this YouTuber, I think Bricks and Minifigs would continue to solicit franchise people to come in, give them 200 grand and then turn around and take all their Legos to resell. So it's a double profit. They get 200 grand from I would say a sucker and then the profit, straight profit from all those Legos that they then resell at their other locations, I guess. Let's see what else he says. Take over your store, you know? And they'll take the whole $200,000 store and steal. How many times has this happened? Many, many, many times. And they say Josh and Brandon, it's always Josh and Brandon that come down. They say, hey, we're taking your store. If you want it back, you can sue us, but it's going to cost you way more than what your store is worth. A lot of these franchise owners are telling me they're like, I wanted to sue them, but I spent my life savings on that store. I couldn't afford a lawyer. And now Of course. Okay, so this is the whole playbook that we saw in his other videos. So they basically drain everyone's funds. Everyone who wants the franchise, they drain their funds and then find a weird reason to take over their store. And when the people say, hey, that's not fair, what are you doing? You're stealing my Legos and you're stealing my life's investment here. They say, oh, do you want to sue us? You got no money now. And you have no Legos to sell to make more money. So people are surprised by this, but this happens a whole lot. And I have other stories where similar things happen. Some people are greedy.
