This was made for a friend, so I just charged for the bricks I used. It was a
pretty quick build, I prototyped it in only about 8 hours. It measures about 10
inches tall and is comprised of mostly basic brick and plate. And if anyone is
curious, there is NO cheating!

Looks great--if the piece count (and hence price) is low enough, that would
probably be a big seller for you.  Of course, that's just a guess on my part,
for all I know you wouldn't sell a single one!

Thanks Derek! The piece count isn't too high. The majority of the bricks are
from the brown brick service pack with some brown plate from Legoland
pic-a-brick thrown in. But unfortunately I can't sell them. With copyrighted
images I can make them for my own personal use, but cannot sell them for profit.
With the Taz sculpture, I made it for a friend for the cost of the bricks only,
no profit....

If I were to sell it on my ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/Brickcreations
(shameless plug, I know, but also for point of reference). I would need
authorization from Warner Brothers (or AOL/TimeWarner I suppose). If you look at
my ebay stuff it is all copyright free (except the Honda maybe, but I did that
for a guy at Honda, so I figure it is OK).

At some point I may try to contact these different companies to see if they
would allow me to use the images on my website once I get it finished. I suppose
brickshelf is OK, since it isn't a commercial venture. Whereas my website is
specifically there to generate business for me!
