Here's the combinatin of the two. http://www.muenster.de/~bus1503/ This website has almost every mech form Mech Commander and Mech Warrior that you can think of. The guy who created it adds new mechs every month! I'm currently buying the parts to build the Raptor and the Penetrator on brickbay.com I hope to gather up enough parts to build many more mechs. I can't wait untill I get enough parts to build the Chimera, Behemoth, and the Hu Lao. Or was it the Lao Hu......

I can never understand why it is that people feel compelled to speel the plural of lego 'legos'. It just sounds stupid! Lego is like deer, it's plural is the same as its singular! Jeez...

Geez. I'm sorry. I won't "speel" the plural of lego like that again.

Oh that site looks so cool! I'm gonna have to spend a long time looking at it.
I loved playing with my LEGO when I was a kid and kept trying to make a model of the Enterprise but never quite made it. I never knew that you could make such cool models with just LEGO - WOW!

Why can't it be LEGOS? I mean, that's like saying "I played with my G.I. Joe as a kid". No, it's G.I. Joes!

This is the first time I've ever heard that staple of childhood referred to as "legos". I am appalled and disgusted.
"I had 33 Lego"? Wrong. But equally as wrong as saying "I had 33 legos." Because, partly, they're called bricks, but mainly, because no-one would ever say that. You'd say "I've got two boxes full of Lego", or "I have a shit-load of Lego".
And the GI-Joe thing doesn't work, because they were multiple toys. Lego is like one big harmonious unit of love.
"I played with my Scalextrics as a kid"? Doesn't work, does it?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well I and everyone else who is in my room at the time I'm typing this feel that Legos is correct. It doesn't sound right to say lego in certain sentences.

Until now, I've never heard the plural of "Lego" to be anything other than "Legos" (or perhaps it's "Legoes"?). And while I've of course heard them called "bricks", the most common term, to my knowledge, is just to refer to each brick as a "Lego".

As someone who changed my country of residence from one side of the Atlantic to the other in the prime of my Lego-building career, allow me to spread enlightenment.
It is absolutely always-always "Lego" singular or plural on the side that the Gulf Stream flows towards. Being that this is the side on which Lego was invented, I'd be inclined to make this the official grammatical use.
On the side from which the Gulf Stream flows away, the terrible crapulism "Legos" or "Legoes" is indeed in common, albeit non-universal use.
