I have a feeling that legos are too "low-res" for sketching out software design. However, I use them sometimes before attempting a more detailed 3D model or illustration, to build a sort of sketch reference. I use this most when thinking about perspective, sight-lines, etc. It helps me avoid getting stuck in the minutia of my digital tools (Sketchup or Illustrator), where I can get distracted trying to make the tool do what I want.
