You might want to tell them how to spell LEGO, then.

If you had two Lego kits would you not have Legos?

If you had one technic and one normal wouldn't that be different Legos?

Or are Lego like sheep?

(Edit: Or is this about the capitalisation?)

Sheep. The plural of LEGO is LEGO.

If you insist on having an S on a plural, it's LEGO bricks (or in your example, sets).

(Capitalisation is a pedantry too far even for me, but "Legos" makes my teeth itch, it sounds like it should be a Caribbean island.)

Lego is singular and plural.
One Lego set
Two Lego sets
One Lego brick
Two Lego bricks

That's correct
But:

Two Legos set?
Two Legos brick?

See, that sounds stupid. 🙂

As in the supermarket belonging to Tesco plc?

How dare you tell me I'm not?

Next you'll be telling me my point isn't valid just because it's not factually accurate.

Without wanting the derail the the thread, what do folk think of the term 'Five Years Out'?

Out of what? Out of work? Out of Lego? Or term as in sentence, so to say cast into the wilderness; five years out [of where so ever you presently are]?

Oh and i think i derailed it ages ago sorry.

The machine is brilliant though.
