Thanks everyone for publicly responding!

As for the legal issues, per my request it is being reviewed by LEGO.

Also, today I found out that to get a 18"x24" print done at Kinko's is
$18.00ea. so $9.50 for a print seems reasonable. It also seems reasonable to
offer a bulk discount. Many club members and non US AFOLs are interested in
multiple copies. I'll keep everyone posted.

FYI Kinkos offers a lamination for 18"x24" for $4.50 and its nice!
