My friend just the the lego book of 10 commandments. it's insane!
also I asked her and she refers to legos in the plural with the S.
I think that if you are referring to the brand (like in the book title) it should be singular, but if it's to a box of legos it should be with an S.

Re: lego concentration camp
ahem... The plural of LEGO is LEGO.legos sure have changed.
you made me google! http://www.ericharshbarger.org/lego/faq.html
still I think most people will just say legos.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).

I am in the Legos camp, along with all of the six year olds I know who love them, dream of them and dress like them for Halloween.
