Some manufacturers produce goods for that purpose. Other's don't. In the
past, Lego have been extremely jealous of their name and their products and
have refused to allow companies to "associate" their product with Lego in
the way you are suggesting. Now that certain of Lego's patents have run
out, their attitude may have softened.
