You are right Petrarch, Lego is the brand name, brick is the descriptive verb, the plural of Lego Brick is Lego Bricks, not Legos Brick.
Makes me want to scream too

Hippo: no. Lego means nothing here but plastic bricks.
You build would be "jij bouwt". Or in German, if that's what you mean "du machst" (not sure on spelling there, though.)
