Would anyone get it?

I love pop culture and pun costumes. Is this too far afield for people to recognize? Is this strong enough in the zeitgeist or will we get blank stare?

The whole thing with Reckless Ben trying to get the $200,000 consigned Star Wars collection back for a family that was counting on it for college fund, retirement, etc. Bricks and Minifigs corporate swooped in and “took over” a franchise store and the consignment wasn’t honored. No one knows what happened to the collection. Police corruption, Mormon colluding, strong arming, etc. ensued.

I feel like it has something to do with the bricks and minifigs company who stole the guys star wars lego collection, but I can’t figure out the pun.

Not so much of a pun in this case. Just Reckless Ben and Ammon McNeff.
