Contact TATA corporate head quarters with your idea with lots of info, and give them the idea they could sell them through the dealer networks world wide or through there on line store if they got 1. Do you got it copy right protected?
Problem is Lego have copyright on the bricks. They will want to use the LR logo which LR have copyright of. For sales to be viable for Lego the set would need to be on sale with all other Lego sets in shops peeps normally frequent regular. Not many go to LR dealers. LR dealers are more interested in selling barbour clothes. There is an online shop but LR would want a chunk of the profits and the prices of stuff on there int at the cheap end of the scale.
 
Hello, although we are not allowed to sell anything for 3 years to do with the models we put on the Ideas website we are able to give the instructions away for free! Therefore rather than waiting 3 years this is what we have decided to do. We have created a website 4x4bricks.com where we hope to have the LEGO parts list in the next week followed shortly after with the instructions as just finishing them off. I'm afraid this is the best we can do but we were determined not to just let it go after all the support we had.
 
thanks for the update and its a shame it didnt make it through to production:(

just one question -- are you sure that should be a b in the web site addy? --- and not a P:eek::oops::D:D:D

Hope we all build one to sit on the dashboard :cool:

Edit - nice web site too:)

Does that mean you will be able to sell kits for the Garage and any "new" model designs you come up with? (Maybe ones say that are twice the size?)
Would people like "Brickowl", "Bricklink", "The daily brick" or "Brickshop" not pay for advertising linkies to your parts lists? or a commission on sales from traffic directed through your website? Its not gonna make you a millionaire (I know that wasn't the point) but might help cover the hosting costs etc while you think about your next move with the project.
Wish you all the best, and can't wait to get my hands on your sets.

Thanks for that information - quite useful, something for us to think about anyway. It would help us buy more bricks to build all the things we have ideas for! :)

Yes we are able to sell instructions for other models and a new garage (when we build it!) or even do commission builds but we just want to get these instructions done so people can at least have something from us.
