    I wish I really understood it. LEGO is based in Denmark (sorry if I’m wrong here) so it is kind of a weird translation to English. My understanding is that an individual piece is a brick and the collective is LEGO. As far as “sands” is concerned, that is typically used for whole, or regions of, deserts. Once again, I really dislike the usage of LEGO as a collective noun in English. It might make sense in Dutch, but I have no clue how to read that language, let alone speak it.

      Danish, not Dutch.

      I’ve spoken to enough Dutch people to know that no matter how hard you try, nothing makes sense in Dutch.
