No it isn't, everyone says legos. Language evolves and what is being used becomes the norm, not "how it supposed to be" when someone decided what the plural is for their company blocks.
I think it is mostly Americans that say that. I've never heard anyone say it outside of reading it on American centric forums.
I love playing with my Lego plastic bricks!
I love playing with my Lego!
I love playing with my Legos!
So everyone you know in person says the second one?
"I play with my Lego often"
Mostly the second one, yes. Lego. Lego bricks. Lego pieces. Boys of Lego. Never Legos.
Lego bricks. Lego pieces. Boys of Lego
Is not Lego plural
Like a kid would say "Do you want to go to my house and play with my Lego?"
Use it in a sentence where it's plural and makes sense
Yes, that's what they would say. I'm not sure if you are disagreeing with me? No one I've ever heard says Legos here in Australia. I'm playing with my Lego. Check out my Lego. I'm missing some of my Lego pieces. Pick up your Lego.
Nope, plenty of people say legos over here too.
