BaM Must Drop All Lawsuits and Charges Linked to the Salem Consignment Dispute

## The Demand

The LEGO community members and consumers, call on Bricks & Minifigs Corporate to immediately discontinue all civil lawsuits and actively request the dismissal of all criminal charges against all non-corporate parties involved in the Salem, Oregon consignment dispute.

## Why This Matters

What began as a localized dispute over a private LEGO Star Wars collection has escalated into an exhausting cycle of litigation, petty criminal charges, and corporate legal maneuvers to shirk accountability. The path of aggressive legal warfare serves no one.

The ongoing legal strategies and criminal prosecutions are draining community goodwill, damaging the brand's reputation, and punishing franchises who only bear the brand name.

## Call to Action

In the interest of the health of the LEGO community and the brand itself, we demand that Bricks & Minifigs Corporate:

* **Cease all pending civil litigation** against independent investigators, creators, and community members related to this dispute.
* **Formally request prosecutors** to drop all outstanding criminal charges against individuals involved in exposing or protesting the situation.
* **Commit to a clean slate**, allowing all parties to move forward and ensuring that people in the LEGO community are made aware of the actions to drop all law suits.

## Corporate Leadership has the sole authority to resolve this situation and heal all parties affected by it.

Bricks & Minifigs Corporate is the **only** entity capable of putting an end to this crisis. No single franchise owner, content creator, or victims in this case can clear the board. Corporate stands alone in this position because:

Bricks and Minifigs and the families behind the brand possesses the authority to unilaterally withdraw civil suits and formally petition law enforcement entities to drop criminal charges.
* **Ultimate Brand Control:** This saga unfolded under the Bricks & Minifigs banner; therefore, only corporate leadership can reverse course and seek to deescalate the tension in the community.

We urge Bricks & Minifigs leadership to be the bigger person, turn the other cheek, and acknowledge failures within the response of all people affiliated with their brand.

A prolonged legal war against your own community will not restore lost inventory or repair public trust. By taking the high road, dropping the litigation, and choosing healing over hostility, Corporate can transform this from a PR nightmare into a defining moment of integrity.

Doing the right thing is imperative whether it's done alone or with the cooperation of others.

**Sign this petition to tell Bricks & Minifigs: Drop the charges, end the lawsuits, and choose community over conflict.**
