BIONICLE!!  Also maybe Ninjago.

I like how they went from $2 to $5 between the two paragraphs.

At $2, $5 for 3 is a deal!

Oh, huh, I read that as "$5 each."  I was like "Way to price increase CF!"    My mistake.

The legality of selling them is questionable, but unless you started a large-scale operation I doubt the LEGO Group would try to litigate against you. At worst, you'd get a cease-and-desist letter and would have to stop making them, but I don't think the LEGO Group would bother asking for the money you made on previous ones. They're too big a company to care about that kind of thing.

I wish the LEGO Group would sell either official buttons like this, or partner with a site like WeLoveFine so fans could submit their own designs. I feel the same way about LEGO clothing in adult sizes. As it is, AFOLs who want LEGO clothing and accessories usually have to get unlicensed products from sites like Etsy, TeeFury, RedBubble, etc. This means that not only does the LEGO Group miss out on what could be some considerable revenue, but they also have no creative control over how AFOLs promote their brand... it should be no surprise that some unlicensed LEGO shirts feature content that the LEGO Group would probably disapprove of.

I would love to have some Ninjago buttons to wear on my clothes or backpack. This would be especially cool if you have some of the Ninjago instruction booklets that feature super-cool illustration.

If you have the option of printing images to use for buttons, here is some specific high-quality character art I would especially love to have as buttons!

Lloyd ZX

NRG Kai and NRG Zane

NRG Cole and NRG Jay

Just having those five characters as buttons would be AMAZING!

I think I'll stick to instruction booklets and catalogs, as opposed to printing out pictures, because the quality of the image is higher. It all depends on what I have on hand, but the visuals you've linked to are pretty cool and things I would use depending on what I have.
