QPQ done (only one required). No image. Article is NPOV, new enough, and long enough. Hook is interesting and inline cited to Business Insider which, for these purposes, is probably fine. Technically, the article says Mark Stafford (a Lego designer) considers it the biggest failure, though the hook doesn't universalize the claim, so I think this is fine. The article is NPOV. Earwig returns 5.7% on a copyvio check (violation unlikely). Good! Chetsford (talk) 03:06, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
