Verified Purchase:Yes
As the review title indicates, this build was a blast! Had to really pay attention when installing the gears as the first time it didn't work, but quickly discovered it was user error haha Love how it sounds like a real typewriter after completing. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wow, this was most difficult for me. It took me three times to get all the arms for each letter in its proper place. This is necessary in order to type each letter. So life like that my granddaughter thought it was real and wanted to type a letter!
This is a keeper for future generations and investment.

My set was missing all the letters except the top row. To say this was annoying is an understatement. I had to wait a week for everything to come in and finish it. For the price I expect more.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fun, 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.

One of Lego’s Best

Absolutely terrific set with a great building experience. The sand green was a great choice when translating this set from it’s original variation to the official set. This set is sure to be eye catching wherever you decide to display it in your house. Great sturdy final product with some of the coolest moving features I have seen in an official set.
There are 2 stickers in this build one in the front and the back which is not ideal, but they go in the bottom of the front and back and isn’t too noticeable if you don’t put them on. I didn’t put mine on my type writer because the building instructions, stickers and the cool letter you get to display in the typewriter was bent in their separate packaging in my box. I don’t mind them being damaged, but I sure wish I had a “perfect” one.
Thank you Lego for this amazing set I wish I could build it for the first time again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs more design time
on July 12, 2021
Posted by: Froozen
Overall a pretty good build, however there are several design elements that need improving. First, the bottom plates are very loosely connected, with many parts aligning on the seams instead of across them. This makes the bottom very unstable when moving, as well as allows parts to disconnect under the stresses of the typing. Second, the fake arm assembly is a mess. Either my black band was not long enough, or the design needs work. There is no way to connect both ends of the band and have the spacer and arms go where they should. It’s a tight fit, and connects poorly. The return arm is connected by a flimsy connector that pops out as soon as you touch it with any force, should have been a hard connect point. Finally, the carriage assembly on goes across about half way before you have to push back to the beginning. Fix these flaws and it’s a great product, but right now it seems like it was rushed into production

What an amazing product!!
on July 10, 2021

Honestly, I would start by saying to take any low review with a grain of salt. This build is great and solid, the only weak point is the front under the space bar, don't pull it by that. I also would have liked a full base so you didn't see the table or surface under the keyboard, but those are minor and do not take away from the 5 stars at all.
If you miss one of the steps or don't fully follow directions you can mess up something big time causing to have to back track far to fix it, but my advice on that, pay close attention to all steps.
The typewriter does "work", the paper feed is tricky, mess with the angle of the mechanism behind the paper to make it work, the letter from the owner of the LEGO group is neat, maybe overkill to have 43 of them, but may have been easier than a different one per country.
As you type the paper moves as does a striker and once at the end you can push it back with a satisfying clicking mechanism. Would have been perfect if they found a way to add a bell noise, but not sure how they would have accomplished that. The ribbon looks neat too.
This set is going on my bookshelf and it goes great with the statue of liberty and bansai tree that I already have there. Love these sets that are easy to add to non-LEGO decore!
I would recommend this to a friend!
