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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

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.

Do. Not. Buy.
on July 26, 2022
Posted by: SlipperyHelmet076
I got this set and build the mechanism. The keys are different heights and some of them dont go back up when you press them. Also instructions are terrible. I built the set 2 times and made sure I was doing everything right. Even after this the mechanism worked terribly and the keys either didnt press, pressed but didn't go back up, or very rarely worked
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unfortunately does not live up to Lego standards
on April 16, 2023
Posted by: RLALEGOLOVER
I have built and played with Legos for 25 years. I do love the advanced builds. When I first saw the typewriter it took me back to when I was a kid. Also I thought it would be a challenging build and was looking forward to its functionality. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The overall look of the piece was disappointing as the bricks did not fit together tightly that resulted in gaps between the bricks. Also I’ve noticed in my last few builds the bricks have a small dent in the center of each making the overall appearance less appealing. It is wonderful that the step-by-step directions showing each piece and exactly where it goes makes this a good build for beginners. However I was looking forward to a more challenging build similar to some advanced technic builds. Functionally, I do like the look of the ribbon and that the cartridge moves, but the feeder does not push the paper through. I had to take a thin tool to manipulate the middle piece that allows the paper to feed. Even when I loosened or tightened the connection, the paper still got stuck and crinkled. I was also disappointed that the handle on the cartridge could not be used to move the cartridge from side to side. Making the handle sturdy would have added a great deal of playfulness. So for someone who loves the experience, look and the playfulness of Legos another set might be considered especially for the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very challenging set
on August 3, 2022
Posted by: Turner
This has been the most challenging and difficult set I've ever had to build. I've been building Lego sets for 16 years and this is the worst time I've ever had building a set. I've had to disassemble and rebuild this set at least 4 times now. It was also missing 2 pieces but I don't think that's common I might have just gotten unlucky. Only build if you have a ton of patience and a very good eye for detail
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awful experience
on June 4, 2022
Posted by: Sadiebaby711
I absolutely love legos and have been building them with my children over the past 17 years. The typewriter set is the worst set I have assembled during those 17 years. The instructions only show one angle so it's difficult to decipher where each piece goes. My poor children have assembled half of the set and had to disassemble and reassemble twice now. The thing that brings my family so much joy is now causing stress, tears, and frustration. For such a difficult set to assemble, you would think Lego would provide instructions that show different angles for a better view of what piece goes where. I'm literally about to throw this set away. Not worth the money or time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
