Well, in the LEGO motherlanguage, Danish, we don't say neither LEGOs nor LEGOer.
The normal way in Danish of referring to LEGO in plural is indeed "LEGO
klodser", meaning "LEGO bricks".
But if you think of the word LEGO as a Latin word instead of a Danish word, the
correct plural form should be LEGI...!
