Boxes of cereal.

Here's a better comparison:

Boxes of Matchboxes

You wouldn't say boxes of Matchbox, would you?

So if I fire up Blockland on a couple of computers and I'm playing on both, I am therefor playing Blocklands?

OP's logic makes me want to throw chairs out a window. Seriously; it's Legos because you are talking about multiple units (bricks) which someone already stated before earlier in this thread.

No. I am arguing because all of these people that believe "lego bricks" to be the same as "legos" are ill educated.

Lego isn't even a word. It's a name brand, who cares how people say it?

I dont think legos fits that well

1: I have 40 legos.
2: I have 40 lego bricks.

Number 2 makes more sense. But still, you dont say lego if you have multiple lego bricks.
