    No, but this is:

    Hehehe sorry for the cheesy-ness! I guess I have always used Legos and the plural. I never thought about if it was the proper term or not.

    I post on another message board and they had a survey about this (kinda lame I know)

    And it turned out the majority of the people who refered to them as Legos where from America and Canada.

    I will always call them legos. I cant help it.

    Nice find. Thanks for posting. Unfortunately, all I have are the under 3 friendly Duplos. I'm hoping they release some LRB mini-figures and instruments at least.

    Figured it might be regional. Always just called it all Lego back home in Kiwiland.

    How you refer the pieces. As Lego bricks?

    I think I will do the same poll on this site.

    Well I guess it fits, I am American and southern as well (so technically they could be pronounced Lay-go's by me ) so the survey data holds pretty true. So what is the plural of "Lego" in other nationalities? Or do you just say "Lego sets" or "Lego bricks"?

    I have boxes and boxes of lego under my bed (my brother was a legomaniac growing up). I bet i could find all the pieces neccessary to build it - cool!
    RBN is the greatest invention known to man! (Aside from RB3)

    Check this out, I found this on some Lego fansite:

    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

    I have never been to one of the Legostores before so when you mentioned this I did some checking via the trusty ol' internet. With the build your own minifigs option (looky here) does that mean you can build your LRB band members? That would be pretty freakin' awesome. It looks like we have one about an hour away from us so I may need to check that place out as well

    Very interesting......
    I guess you should also hold your pinky finger out while assembling your "Lego bricks" as well
    Like you though Ehfahq, I know I'll never really stop referring to them as Legos
    I guess for me proper and Lego just don't go together.
