I like these ideas, I can try to set aside some time next week and mock some
of these up.

From my conversations with them, I understand that the minifig is pretty
vigorously defended, and I think the specific shapes of individual heads,
arms and hands are also protected. (I mean my conversations with LEGO, not
with minifigs.)
On the other hand it has also been my impression that they've gotten a lot
more tolerant over the last couple of years about personal-use applications,
so I suspect we could get away with putting a minifig on a t-shirt that was
for in-club use only. Using a minifig in the group logo will probably be
frowned on though, and of course using the LEGO logo is off-limits in just
about any application.

How about dice interacting with bricks? Something like those cannonball d6s
blasting through a wall of bricks or something.
