The model, commissioned by the LEGO Certified Store, was designed and built by Peter Furstenberg, a South African adult fan of LEGO. The model contains roughly 13750 pieces and celebrates one of Cape Town’s most iconic regions, the Bo-Kaap, characterised by its colourful houses around the district. The model contains an artist’s impression of 5 iconic houses in Wale Street, a block away from the Bo-Kaap Museum.

A dispute over a prized Star Wars Lego collection led to a YouTube crusade. Then came the stalking charges in Utah.​

The feud over an older Oregon man’s Lego bricks has spawned lawsuits, arrests and Utah charges of stalking and trespassing.​


A California YouTuber known for elaborate pranks and internet crusades is facing criminal charges in Utah after police say he targeted business owners connected to a fight over a missing Star Wars Lego collection.

Ben Schneider, known as “Reckless Ben” on YouTube, posted several videos since last week documenting his quest to recover a massive collection of Lego sets and minifigures for an 83-year-old Oregon man and his son, Bryan Mansell. Schneider has alleged the Lego sets and minifigures are worth over $200,000, and were stolen by Bricks & Minifigs, a Lego resale chain headquartered in Utah. Mansell consigned his sets to one of the company’s stores in Oregon.

The videos have garnered more than 2 million views on YouTube, and the Lego resale chain has fought back. In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, the company accused Schneider, Mansell and others of coordinating a harassment and extortion campaign targeting Bricks & Minifigs franchise owners in Utah and Oregon.

In court filings, Bricks & Minifigs alleges the collection was lost while the Oregon store was owned by Chrystal Law. Law may have sold the collection without payment to Mansell, the company said.
