The Lego Star Wars sets are still released for the original movies, as well as sets for the Clone Wars and there's now sets for vehicles and minifigs from The Old Republic online game.

I enjoy Legos somewhat...

Aaaarrrghhh!! The dreaded "Legos" word again.  :(

Lego's is a plural form and completely legit! LEGO is the company, Lego's can be used to describe many bricks!

Nope.

"Lego's" (with an apostrophe) is meaningless nonsense when used by itself. It only makes sense if you're talking about something owned by the Lego company, e.g. Lego's head office.

"Legos" (without an apostrophe) is also meaningless nonsense and is not the "legit" plural of anything at all - the Lego company even officially disapproves of the word "Legos" and only ever allows "Lego" to appear in things like press releases and advertising. The correct plurals for the products are "Lego bricks / blocks" and "Lego sets".

Except that not every LEGO is not a brick! A lot of mine aren't bricks, they are many different things, and need a way of expression without false referencing. There are some words that have different apostrophe placements to show the difference between plural and ownership, and by default Lego's would be the plural (last I checked, I could be wrong on this one) and Legos' was ownership. There are a lot of ins and outs of English, especially in different versions.

"Lego parts" if you want to be picky.  ::)

There are a lot of ins and outs of English, especially in different versions.

For ownership the apostrophe always comes before the "s", except in words that already end in "s". So "Lego's" only ever has a meaning when used in front of another word, like Lego's headquaters, Lego's financial report, Lego's press release, Lego's new product. (A plural itself never has an apostrophe, unless you're talking about something owned by all of them.)

"Legos" is a completely non-existant word made up, as usual, by lazy Americans. It is not an official word and doesn't appear anywhere on the official Lego website (or on Lego's website if you prefer). If you're a Lego employee and you use the word "Legos" you'll be sitting in the naughty corner for a month ... if you use it a second time you'll probably be fired.

Wow, you seriously lost all respect from me. "Lazy," is THE last word I'd use to describe just about everyone that I know, and you're just being insulting now.

I have a lot of LEGO stuffs, my little brother got a lot of them when he was a kid and so we have a good sized tub full of 'em. Also, in reference to this ridiculous argument about whether it's LEGOS or LEGO, I'd say you can't really blame individual Americans for saying it incorrectly because that's how they've always been referred to in the U.S. I, for example never knew until now that it was simply LEGO and that LEGOS was inappropriate, and so I've adjusted accordingly. So Buzz_Bumble, you really shouldn't get so mad about it because it's really not our fault that we don't know. And danflorreguba, you really shouldn't be defending yourself because there's nothing you've done wrong, and you shouldn't defend America's habit of butchering words. I went to a British school when I was in Elementary, or Primary, school and so I learned to spell words like favourite and behaviour with the 'u'. when I went to an American school for middle, or secondary, school I got points off my essays and spelling tests because of it, and that's simply not fair. Nevertheless, this whole thread isn't supposed to be about spelling, and has nothing to do with pro-British, or pro-American views on word spelling, because we all just want to hear about LEGO creations, because they're awesome. On another note,

I tried, however I couldn't get the videos to work, mayhaps you ought to try pictures as well as videos. However from what I could see of them from the little thumbnails of the videos they looked pretty cool  ;D
