As the Wikipeadia link says, it should be "...Mario animation with these LEGO bricks" or "LEGO sets". There is no plural of the name because there is only one "LEGO" (both the company and the product), but there are many "LEGO sets", "LEGO bricks", "LEGO toys", etc. Similarly, some people incorrectly call Steve Jobs' computers "Apples", but it's only laziness since they really mean "Apple Macs". There are MANY other examples as people simply get lazier, especially if you start looking atgrammar and spelling as well. No doubt some people do, although they’re still doing so incorrectly.
