If I have a mixed bucket of LEGO bricks and dump it in a pile, do I have a pile of LEGO or LEGOs? The fact that LEGO is plural was revealed to me within the last week, but I don’t know if it’s the same when talking about the individual parts vs ten packs of LEGO. It doesn’t feel right to say that the pile is a pile of 100 LEGO.

It’s a collective noun, like sand. You have individual bricks that make up a pile of LEGO. I don’t like it, personally, and just keep saying LEGOs.
