Of course you could just scale everything up I guess...
The advantage is in the "large" dungeon that can be built on almost any table. Of course, normal Lego scale has a lot more eye candy to offer--at a cost. Check out this example.

Yeah, It always annoys me when people (typically from North America) use Legos as a plural instead of Lego.
Then again, it also annoys me when they use "sports" instead of "sport" and "math" instead of "maths", and other such.
Noah Webster is largely to blame. Being as American spelling reformer, he sought to simplify what he saw as some of the more confusing British spellings.
Lego vs. Legos can't be blamed on any dictionary guy, however, as these variant plural usages apparently came about informally. The official plural used by the makers is "Lego bricks"-- I looked it up. Not that that really changes how we feel.

It's much like the Oscar Wylde quote really.
I'm not that well read. What quote is that?

I think it's ten times worse that you put an apostrophe on a plural than pluralising an already plural word.
Exactly.
[Decipher may have been the victim of a spelling prompter. When I typed in “Legos” on my smartphone using Google, it was automatically changed to “Lego’s”, much to my chagrin.
by the way, shouldn’t the US plural be spelled Legoes, like heroes or tomatoes? Apparently, the Internet didn't pay attention in school. -edit]
