Is it only Americans that pluralise lego, or is it everyone but me?

I only pluralize it if I'm talking about more than one individual block.
The company is Lego. (Singular)

Being as Leg Godt (Play Well), thus Lego, can not be pluralized, I stand corrected.
From now on, Lego blocks will be my pluralizsd version.

I realy should have known better.

My daughter play Lego Batman and Lego Indiana Jones on the PS3. The love the game. These two games are fun to play. You have to build things withe Lego to accomplish certain things. It is very creative. The Indiana Jones game is very popular.

There's a Lego MMO now? There's been so many Lego games that it is hard to keep up. The only Lego game I have ever played was the very first - Lego Island. I think it was released way back in 1995 or 1996. Now that was fun.

Legos (yes, I am pluralizing it ) were my favorite toys as a kid. I had all sorts of sets (still have them boxed away). Just about anytime I got a few bucks I went and bought a Lego set.

My favorite was Lincoln Logs. Yes, I dating myself.



I loved building villages. Then I discovered gasoline, matches and plastic army men. My villages were never the same once my crack team of plastic army men took the town.

Lego was my favorite as a kid, and even a little past childhood. I built some really fantastic stuff with those stupid little things.

You all are talking about Lego video games, which I have seen. But, is there a Lego program that lets you build things freely in 3D?

EDIT: Nevermind! I found it. It is called Lego Digital Designer, and it is FREE! Oh boy, I'm going to have tons of fun with this one!

When I was a kid I loved Lego's, Lincoln logs, tinker toys, and K-nex. I'd see a plane or something of that sort, in a show and be able to recreate it in one of those mediums. (Back when you had to use your imagination to make whatever you wanted instead of the sets where you just follow instructions.)

Although the Lego Games have never really been my thing.

What I love about Legos, is they have adult sets.
Like This Death Starpriced at 440 dollars.

Lincoln Logs.
Definately cool!

The best Lego sets ever were the space series from the early eighties.
They just don't make them anymore like they used to.

[Jimbuna]

My kids seldom played Lego when they were younger (unlike their dad) so I sometimes feel I missed out on something

Damn goldorak, I'm from that time, and remember those! And also remember how crazy I was when saw the first space legos with helmt glass/visor!

That must make for some interesting pillow talk

Ah, nostalgia.....

I never got around to burning my Lincoln (linkin'?) logs but my dad, my brothers and myself had great fun using them to construct trenches and bunkers in mom's garden, much to her dismay. Then we'd have a battle royale where the Germans (me) and the Japanese (my dad) would confront the Russians and the Americans by throwing dirt clods that counted as HE shells at the enemy lines. Whomever destroyed the most enemy troops, vehicles, and artillery pieces before it was time for dinner was the victor. Dad and I always won because we were older and could throw better, despite having fewer troops and vehicles. I've still got about two battalions' worth of Airfix 1:32 scale German ww2 infantry, a panzer platoon, and an artillery battery around here somewhere.... probably in storage.

My bros and I used legos in much the same way, but the theatre of war changed to a desperate and absurdly unlikely three-way struggle between Lego Pirates, Imperial Guard, and Knights. We had a fairly complex turn-based set of rules governing the game, with factors like range, cover, armor, and different artillery types being taken into account, but those matches always ended with one of us simply dropping something heavy (like a rollerblade, or in one instance, a brother) on the others' units after a dispute over said rules. Such is the nature of war, I suppose.
