Awesome!

I bought this for the nostalgia factor. I spent years in newsrooms, and there's just something about a typewriter that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
This build was just plain cool. There were a lot of fiddly bits and the occasional feeling that I wouldn't be able to finish it. That all came to a head when one of the pieces popped off and fell into the depths of the typewriter just as I was starting the last bag. Trying to retrieve it gracefully made it fall in deeper and get stuck in the mechanical works. Argh! I finally had to take the whole thing apart, retrieve the piece (which I gave a stern talking to), and then figure out how to put it back together again. Of course, just as I was putting on the last element, I noticed 2 little round spacers lying on the table. Ah, well. Pretty sure they weren't important. 😬
This was an extremely difficult build, but it was very satisfying in the end. I've had friends tell me that can't believe it's LEGO. That says a lot.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cool working typewriter! (well, sort of)

This was a really unique set and fun to build. All of the keys actually make the corresponding arm move. Most of the other functions you would expect to move and make noise do, which is pretty neat. It doesn't actually type of course, but that doesn't take away from the cool factor. If you like unique builds, then this one is for you!

Challenging and fun

This was my first "hard" build - worth every second. I made some mistakes and had to go back a few times, it was a great learning experience. I am an accountant/CFO for a small company, and I tell my husband all the time - if someone comes to me with a resume, and lists Lego building as a hobby? They are getting special attention - because I KNOW they can follow instructions, focus, problem solve, and think outside the box.

Spellbinding Set

I am nearly brand new to building with Legos (having only dipped my toes in with botanical sets about a month ago), and this was a euphoric step up for me. Building the mechanical components and understanding over time how the typewriter was going to work was so rewarding. This was honestly the most fun I have had in a long, long time. I only wish I could do it again for the first time.

Good product, but not an excellent

To be honest, I didn't really enjoy assembling this model. It is 80% of small parts and mechanisms, like Technics series. But I don't like this series( I like the visual component in the assembly more than painstakingly labouring over the assembly of single mechanisms. Maybe I didn't underestimate this model because I started building it right after the grand piano. Most likely it was some fatigue from these two models being assembled one after another.
I would recommend this to a friend!
