Lego vs. Legos: Americanism? Regionalism?

Up around here (Ontario, and in Alberta, where I grew up), I've been
used to Lego as a mass object -- "Let's play with Lego" like "Let's
have rice," or "He made that fighter plane out of Lego." I could
probably find people who use the plural if I were to go looking for
it and talking about Lego more. What I can report is just my own bare
impression, which isn't exactly statistical...

Ciao, James.
