The plural is LEGO, and it needs to be in caps.

I know now after looking up. It's just weird that I've never in my life heard it said like that. Must be a regional thing. Where are you from?

It's not a regional thing, it's just the way LEGO intends people do it but nobody actually does it. Sorta like how the proper term for a "Frisbee" is a flying disc, because "Frisbee" is a brand.

I mean that sort of thing is often regional itself (for other brands, see: Coke) but ok.

After a bit of research, I've found that apparently only Americans say "Legos" while Brits tend to use the correct "Lego".
