Actually, both are incorrect -- "Lego" is an adjective, and isn't to be used
as a noun in either singular or plural form. The example the LEGO Company
uses is: "For example, say 'MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS'. Never say 'MODELS
BUILT OF LEGOs'." A lot of people seem to misinterpret this and conclude
that the problem is the S.
Anway, if you're gonna be pedantic, don't use either. If you feel like still
using "Lego" as a noun, I suggest you go easy on the "Legos" faction, since
you're not actually very morally superior. :)
