The BAM lawsuit against Reckless Ben is on hold again. Here is why both parties are delaying to pursue further mediation.

Reckless Ben has agreed to delay filing a motion to dismiss the BAM lawsuit for the third time. This extension pushes the deadline for a special motion for expedited relief all the way to September 18, 2026.

This development highlights a common litigation strategy where parties pause formal court proceedings to focus on mediation. I break down what this pause means for the ongoing case and why both sides seem willing to keep talking rather than fight in court immediately. This legal analysis provides context for those following the battle closely.

Should Ben have agreed to this extension? Or should he have pressed ahead with filing his motion to dismiss? Let me know in the comments!

Here is the difference:

Ben is negotiating with the aim of an amicable solution and resolution, and doing so in good faith.

Bricks and Minifigs is not.

I agree with the counselor, file it now. You need to not play into BAMS hands.

Should've just have given those Legos back.

BAM must really not want to do the chicken dance 😂😂

I really don’t want to see this end in a settlement.
BAM needs to face legal consequences for what they did and admit their wrongdoing — not just pay some money to make everything go away and let the truth stay buried forever.

I selfishly don’t him to settle. I want all the discovery.

@official_Tratix 4 weeks ago

i wouldn't be surprised if they aren't settling yet because ben is actually asking for the chicken dance and they won't do it

It matters to me that some people are above the law and can just make up any false claim to the police and get away with it.

BAM corporate clearly hold animosity towards Ben & Bryan. Someone needs to give them some comeuppance, whether its Ben or their own franchisees.

Discovery is the kryptonite. Especially when police, courts, and Google stand to lose.

They should file. BAM chose the hard way, so Ben should oblige them.

I think Reckless Ben and his team should assume at all times that BAM is not operating in good faith at any point and will only do the right thing when forced to. Therefore maximum legal pressure early and often

@No_Kings_Allowed 4 weeks ago

I think this is an optics move by Ben and his team to show how willing he has been to negotiate. We know BAM is great at spinning lies, and, to me, this takes the wind out of their sails if they try to lie again regarding how they have been bending over backwards to “do the right thing”.

In order to help franchise owners, as Ben has stated is a goal. This case needs to go to trial. Settlement is Ammon’s life line.

Thanks for your advice. You have no idea how much it helps. The same exact thing happened to me as Reckless Ben but with Barbie LEGO sets and this old lady, and unfortunately I didn't film the investigation and can't get publicity. I can only afford to represent myself now and I've just been following all your advice. 🙏🙏🙏

I feel like Ben will accept every single delay and will allow them to come to the table to mediate as many times as they want, but I think every time he will keep the chicken dance on the table and I think it will just be that for as long as bricks and mini figs wants it to be
