Beautiful acquisition for writers
on April 18, 2022
Posted by: Anonymous
I didn't grow up with Legos, but I did get to play with them at family and friends' houses a couple of times. This machine was little bit difficult for me (I had to assemble, unassemble and reassemble it), because I forgot parts that were a bit hidden in the fold of the instruction book, or because certain parts were similar, and separating the pieces without damaging them was sort of difficult. While I didn't enjoy the process as much as I'd hoped, it's definitely a great acquisition. I really like how it looks; it has a beautiful mint colour, with red, gray and black details. It's ideal for those of us who love to write (but prefer to write by hand or on a computer, for practicality); it will appeal to those who like to display retro pieces in their spaces, and also, there is always a bit of pride when you have something handmade.
I love that the typewriter was created by a Lego fan, just as the rest of the Lego Ideas designs :)
Congratulations to Steve Guinness and all the team behind this typewriter. It turned out amazing n_n

Great Concept/Defective Set
on August 8, 2021
Posted by: Jen123456789
I am giving this set 3 stars, in spite of the fact that I was unable to complete it and have initiated a return. This is a beautiful set and was fun to build, until bag #5, when numerous missing pieces became apparent, and overall bagging from that point on was out-of-sequence. It was disappointing, as I've never encountered so many issues with a LEGO build. But I chalk it up to a rare anomaly somewhere in production. Had my set been complete and properly organized, I've no doubt this would have been one of my favorite builds!

Can be improved.
on June 5, 2022
Posted by: ReliableChisel047
I had the best time putting it together. The product and the mechanical designs are perfect but the actual execution may can use some evaluations. I realized that at the beginning when you put the arms together on the rods, the pieces that hold them in place can be hard to space. I noticed afterwards that if the spacing is not even, the keys don’t type properly. Then the carriage may just be a tidbit too heavy for the mechanism that carries it below (the spring and the rollers) because I heard it rubbing against the track. When I have a chance, I am going to ‘maintenance’ it to redo a few things to try to test my theories and see if it will get better.

Typewriter Christmas
on January 16, 2024
Posted by: MicroscopicBroccoli085
My grandson, who is 12, has been eyeing and wishing for the Lego Typewriter for a couple of years. Finally gave it to him this Christmas. He is thrilled with it and began immediately building it. Almost finished building it and loves the mechanics of the typewriter. He prefers to "display" his legos versus playing with them.

Horrible building experience
on December 23, 2024
Posted by: Oydoditxtxjtx
Verified Purchase:No
I was super excited to finally get this set until I started building it. It was all going fine until assembling the bottom part of the typewriter. It was extremely flimsy and would not connect well. Later, while attaching other parts the entire bottom fell apart and was impossible to put back together. Other parts such as the front piece under the space bar and other parts that are under the space bar were continuously falling apart. Ultimately, building this set brought me to tears and made me want to stop building legos entirely.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Suprisingly bad quality control
on February 17, 2022
Posted by: Cdiddy
Unfortunately, the poor quality of the pieces detracts from an otherwise fun build. Multiple pieces were just completely the wrong color. The most disappointing is the green pieces that make up the entirety of the exterior are not a consistent green, making the whole project look cheap. I expect better from lego, and for this expensive of a set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For some reason had many issues trying to put this set together- had to go back and redo a couple bags. The keys do not type easily. For this price- I should have spent the money on another tuxedo cat!
