What they will do and what they can do are two separate questions. Basically
they can do nothing about the sales. They can complain about not respecting
their trademark, or of copying of their designs. And they can complain that it
may look like lego is selling the products. I don't think there is anything
else. On the question what they will do - that is anybodys guess. Bottom line
is that if you are serious and objective in your commercials, and mention that
Lego owns the trademark (if you use lego's name), and that the stuff is yours,
then it is a go. Off course you can do much less, and maybe get away with it.
Maybe you can sell them your design or get an approvement? (just a business
thought) Watch out for them stealing your idea!
