Hi all,

Are any of you knowledgable of restrictions that would be placed on
including Lego images on a T-shirt?  Can I take a POV rendering of a
spaceship built of Lego, and use it as T-shirt art?  Does any kind of
credit have to be given to Lego?  Does this change if the shirts are
being sold?  Is there a difference between using a model that TLG sold
as a set, and using my own?

(...) I'd take at least two hats, especially if you can get an order of 100, then I might take 4. I'd take some t-shirts as well as long as they could come in XXXL. (26 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
