"Lego masterpieces and the giant mechanical Jaegers from Pacific Rim actually have quite a bit in common. For example, both Jaegers and massive Lego projects appeal to kids and adults alike. Both are complex structures built meticulously over time. Both often mean the world to the people making them. Both, obviously, are awesome. And finally, both can also punch monsters in the face—but only if you're as good with Legos as Japenese modeler Moko is…"

Wow, combined with a city of Legos they would open up new possibilities for destruction! |

Hmmm. Is the plural of Lego Legos? I thought it would be Lego in the same way that the plural of sheep is sheep. |

"Lego" is its own plural. "Legos" doesn't exist….it's like "Moose" |

Those figures are amazing. The discussion about the plural of "Lego" is slightly moot since there is also no singular noun. One might might have a Lego brick or a collection of Lego but they do not have a Lego and they definitely do not have Legos. |

Lego is a brand name.
They are made from Lego bricks.
That is the plural right there. |

What Baldlea said… And yes, yes they are. |

Hm, I guess next time I'm in a restaurant I won't ask for a coke, I'll ask for a Coke (r) carbonated soft drink. |

"legos" is slang for "bricks of death"

Spudeus, that's different. A more generic, brandless example is steelwork. I could have a piece of steelwork or some steelwork. I don't have a steelwork nor some steelworks. Bryam, treading on them isn't a problem; kneeling on them is the killer! |

Indeed, such as having some works of art.
Not having some arts. |
| Spudeus | 27 Feb 2014 8:01 a.m. PST |
I guess my point was that some brand names become part of the lexicon – "four Buds please" – in which case they are commonly pluralized. Steelwork is an odd one, but 'artwork(s)' can be used in place of works of art. Gotta love English! |

My entire life I've called the Legos when talking about more than one block and I'm good with that! Who cares what people think of me when I say it. |

The Lego Group asks that people not refer to Lego-brand construction bricks as "Legos" because it helps protect their trademark. If the term becomes generic, they could run the risk of losing it. So yeah, you play with your Lego, not your "Legos." |

Cobi is still the best. Interchangeable, and they deal with subjects Lego won't touch, like Rap Music enthusiast stick up men, and mid east terrorists with dynamite strapped to their chests! |

Gearhead, mom always said "Don't play with your Lego in public" |
