LEGO brings a nostalgic piece with a typewriter set to our homes.
Do you still have a typewriter in your office? Probably you do not have, however, I have no doubt that many of you like these nostalgic pieces. LEGO announced a new set which will make happy both typewriter and LEGO enthusiasts.
It is always a pleasure to write articles about LEGO for me, for example Pieces Come Together: History of LEGO is another article that I wrote about history of LEGO, but in all honesty, LEGO typewriter set has been the most exciting LEGO model for me. Let us take a closer look at the LEGO typewriter.
I hope it will bring nostalgia to adult fans like me, and wonder and curiosity to younger fans who might not have ever seen a real typewriter!

The model for adult builders was inspired by the idea of a British LEGO fan, Steve Guinness. The brand produced this set to bring wonder and curiosity for those who have never used a real typewriter before. The 2,079-piece typewriter set features a center typewriter bar that rises with each keypress. Moreover, it also features a real roller into which real can be fed. The typewriter model measures over 11 cm high, 27 cm wide and 26 cm deep. The model features a black and red ink spool ribbon which is a new fabric element for LEGO. With its mint green color, the model is reminiscent of a vintage typewriter from the 1950s. Furthermore, every key has a printed character, no stickers required.
The typewriter set is inspired by LEGO founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s original typewriter and sounds like a real typewriter. As a bonus, the typewriter model comes with a letter Thomas Kirk Kristiansen in 43 languages.
Federico Begher, vice-president of global marketing at the LEGO Group, explained in the press release: “Here, we have a LEGO set that combines these two worlds seamlessly and like its real-life counterparts, is something LEGO fans will be proud to display in their homes.”
