Well half of the question is could one sell it. (assuming anyone would want
it.) I am thinking of making a feature length film. (~2 hours) I have over
20,000 US$ worth of Lego elements. My question is could I use that as the
medium of the film but not actually point out that what it is. On the flip
side would TLC prefer that it was pointed out for free advertising. I am just
guessing that only Mr. Justus or another person of sorts could anwser this.
(Can one use the new queen minifig change the hat to a brown hair piece give
her a new name and use her as an "actor." What about the rest of the figs?)
