The article currently reads as follows under the 'History' section:
"In 1958, the modern brick design was developed; it took five years to find the right material for it, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) polymer."
As phrased, this could imply that ABS was incorporated into the modern brick design in 1958. However, this is incorrect, as Cellulose Acetate was the main material used until 1963, which is when ABS replaced it. I'd recommend that the article is updated to prevent confusion.

The lead includes an introductory sentence which presents a concise overview of the product. The lead however, does not include a brief description of all the article's main sections. Overall, the lead section is clear and to the point by giving readers a brief introduction to the article.
Everything in the article appears to be relevant to the topic. I was surprised to learn about the Robotics themes section which was a facet of the company I hadn't heard about prior to evavlutating this article. There was some missing content such as broken links to sources and an excerpt at the bottom of the article which is missing a citation necessary (shown as [citation needed). This article does not address topics related to historical underrepresented populations or topics.
The article tone is neutral. There are no claims that appear heavily biased. All groups seem to be equally represented, including clone businesses.
The sources support the claims within the article. Most links are active, but some are broken and the citation can no longer be accessed. The sources come from a wide array of authors and publications, however not all sources seem to be entirely reputable.
The conversations on the talk page are both respectful and helpful. There is a small stream of conversation about small changes to the article as well as enhancement suggestions. The article is rated C-class and is a level-4 vital article; Additionally it is of interest on multiple WikiProjects.
