Also, on the linguistic point: I think we Brits mentally class Lego as a continuum, like water, or custard. (Having said that, there are some weird Brits who will actually wield the phrase "a custard" with no shame whatsoever. =8oo )

We used to talk about "lego bricks", because when I was kid almost all the pieces *were* bricks. Then "lego pieces", as they started to get more specialised. By the time I was old enough to buy any of my own lego with my own Christmas money, they'd invented the first lego motors (they were huge, but they worked!) and I had a lego trainset! Large biscuit tins were the storage format of choice: One for all the bricks and sloping roof-pieces, one for all the rails and sleepers and other specialised pieces.

My lego lunar module was huge, and blue, and cost *THREE WHOLE POUNDS*! Mum thought this was more than any sensible child should ever spend on one toy, but I begged and wheedled and convinced her I wanted nothing else in the world that January. And ah, the sense of wonder on realising that not only could I build an entire lunar module, but I now had more bricks of the same colour, *with* matching 2*2 roof-pieces (for the lander legs), than ever before! I could big build things with coherent colour schemes! =:o>

Happy days...
