Average rating5out of 5 stars5.0Great set! So much fun to build! A+++
I would recommend this to a friend!
This is definitely one of the coolest Ideas sets I’ve ever owned. It is extremely detailed and looks amazing once it is completed. Pressing on the keys does make a lever click, but for some reason, the thing holding the paper does not move when you press a key. Also, the paper was a little hard to put in the slot. As for the building experience, there was almost no repetition and it had some colourful pieces on the inside of the typewriter. Overall, this set is definitely worth the investment.Play Experience4.0

Average rating5out of 5 stars5.0Fun, beautiful, and challenging

You guys, I knew I wanted this set the minute I saw it and I received it from my boyfriend for my birthday. The set arrived yesterday and I started building it right away. I love LEGO so much and right now I’m really not doing any bigger builds until we move (no space)… but the minute I had the box in my hand I knew exactly what had to be done. I had so much fun building this set. I loved it from start to finish. You get to start playing with the typewriter on like bag 3 or 4. Everything about this set is brilliant. Congratulations to Steve Guinness too… what an amazing accomplishment. I’m so glad you were able to share this set with us. Thank you LEGO for giving us the platform to share our ideas too. This build is very special. If you are on the fence about purchasing, I would highly recommend getting it.Play Experience5.0Building Experience5.0Value for Money5.0Was this helpful?

Average rating5out of 5 stars5.0Really beautiful build.
I would recommend this to a friend!
I've been sitting on this for a good while waiting to build it and I was not disappointed. It's intricate, the mechanics are amazing for Lego and it's really beautiful overall. I love the little touches like the paper feed or the return bar. I personally would have liked to have seen the keys be a little more springy but that's not something that takes away from the overall awesomeness of it. If you like mechanical heavy stuff like the NES, or BB-8, this will be right up your alley.Play Experience4.0Building Experience5.0Value for Money5.0Was this helpful?

An iconic triumph
I would recommend this to a friend!
Hats off to the Lego engineers for turning a great idea into an excellent kit. It really captures the spirit of a typewriter, feels authentic and is thankfully a lot lighter but still looks solid. The build was great, and I love the really clever escapement mechanism that advances the carriage. I did find the choice of arm connector a bit unusual along with the instruction to push the carriage back to avoid the arm popping off. So I changed it to a 135 degree connector (I think a 32192). It was just strong enough to withstand the force, and bends a bit but then feels a lot more authentic. I'm a typewriter fan and have many machines, and it feels right, it looks right, and its green! Great choice of colour. Overall a great kit with a good balance of implied functionality, and an excellent build. I would have given 5 stars but unfortunately found a bent brick in the set, which Lego has now replaced.Play Experience5.0Building Experience5.0Value for Money4.0Was this helpful?
