>>9919908500 years ago these kinds of accusations got people hanged or burned alive. Today they still can and do ruin lives; even if the accusations turned out to be baseless the seller's name has been dragged through the mud, there's been a lot of high emotions and mudslinging which (particularly in a fandom filled with autism) doesn't fade away easily. There certainly have been sketchy things happening in the world of Lego, hell their entire existence is based on IP theft from KiddieCraft and vicious litigation to suppress competition. However, the kind of malicious whispering campaign exemplified by posts like
>>9919620 and
>>9919582 is no better than that one girl who accused half of Salem of being witches (and got many of them put to death for it).
I went and re-read his comments about the Florida minifig parts and it seems to me he added on that part like it might account for some of the Joker figs in his total but without being certain about it. He states that he amassed them through Bricklink buys, which is consistent with his claim of buying out a bunch of sellers. He never claims to have bought 500 Joker figs from Legoland Florida - that's been inferred from his mentioning the "500 torso, legs, heads, hair parts and accessories" for about $200. To me that sounds more like about 40 complete minifigs which is more consistent with Build-a-Minifig practices eh. Again since neither of us have been to Legoland Florida we can't rule out that they may have had a promo or something and those minifig parts were available by that means - they aren't TLG outright and presumably have some differences in how they operate.
He claims multiple times to have receipts for everything which really should settle the matter conclusively, if the BL admins will ever respond to it.
