Here's a guy who done some work in Lego artistry. He doesn't have anything on starships and the like, but has built some mosaics and models and furniture with Legos.

I love his site. I'd someday like to do a model of a Lego Star Wars X-Wing pilot on the scale of his Lego knight. And, to end the debate, from the above linked page:
Which is correct as the plural of LEGO: 'Lego' or 'Legos'?
Neither, actually. The word 'LEGO', when used as a noun, should only refer to the company that makes the product. Otherwise 'LEGO' is supposed to be used as an adjective. Thus, when referring to the pieces, neither 'lego' nor 'legos' is correct... rather one should say: 'LEGO bricks' or 'LEGO pieces' or whatever (using LEGO as an adjective -- and one should really capitalize all of the letters, and put the little 'circle-R' symbol after it (�)). This is all a matter of protecting the trademark of 'LEGO' for the company (using it otherwise degenerates the strength of the trademark). This is not to say that I use the word correctly 100% of the time... but that's the answer to the question (it's always fun/painful to read the near-flame-wars that start at slashdot.org over this topic... and generally, both sides are wrong).

Hot-damn! Alright, that's it - I'm going to dive into my attic and dig up every last brick I can find. Time to relive some old memories.

I think from now on, I'll write the plural w/ an apostrophe: "Lego's". That way, I can claim it's a contraction of "Lego [brick]s".
