I love the sound it makes. That was a thing that would either make or break this set for me. If it didn't have the clicking of the keys and the sliding noise I wouldn't feel it's worth it so I'm very happy to hear it has those features. I'm sure the haptic feedback must be spot on aswell.

Just to put your pithy pseudo-intellectial attitude on display for everyone? Well done, you. Take that one to the bank.

[@LantanaLiz]

@@UnitSe7en lol, you seriously think people read the dates on comments.

[@AlasdairGR]

YES! So much of the fun in building this set is seeing how exactly the mechanism works and testing it as you go along and assemble it. Thank you for saying this, since so many of the other “Brick-tubers” I’ve watched have been focusing more on the aesthetics and keys and less on the actual build. I’ve also heard others gripe about the build being repetitive, but that’s only the case for the first part of the build for the keys. After that, you’re building the main part of the body, the different mechanism components, and the carriage. And those, to me at least, were very satisfying and not repetitive or boring at all.

[@killwalker]

Ha. Lol. You want repetitive? Empire State Building..

[@RicardoOliveira-nv5dr]

How hard is it to build ? For someone with no experience ?

[@AlasdairGR]

@@RicardoOliveira-nv5dr Not really hard, in my own opinion. There are just a lot of repeating steps for pieces of the mechanism and the keys. But once you’ve done the slightly more tedious parts, the assembly of the mechanism and the body of the typewriter is so much fun.

[@user-ke1gn3ql1g]

@TeamgeistLet people do what they want with their money the joy of lego sets is building them then seeing the the final result and how it works.

[@AlasdairGR]

@@teamgeist3328Actually dying of laughter over you thinking real typewriters are less expensive than this LEGO set. As someone who collects typewriters and uses them, trust me. They're not (at least not anymore). Especially if you want some of the more desirable or best quality machines. Also, why do you care so much about what people spend money on? I'm willing to be assumptious and bet you've spent a lot of money on things that aren't necessities or very practical over the course of your life.

[@HansSiemons]

I am in the middle of the build. And must say that I never had a better repetitive build. The joy of putting bag two together is wonderful to see it all combine

[@koenjanf7958]

2:48 this is actually a simplified version of an escapement, the same mechanism used in clocks and watches.

[@maverickmonk]

Yup! I got part way through the build and had a really enjoyable moment of "what the heck am I buil....waaaaait a minute!" I'm now convinced someone with a much larger collection than me, and much more patience, could build a fully mechanical lego clock, or at least a mechanical clock where the "mainspring" is replaced by a drive motor

[@lizflynn2262]

Thank you for showing how to put the letter into the typewriter! I couldn’t quite figure it out and had decided to display the set without the letter, but now it is completely complete!

Currently building it! Just finished the first three bags and i still have no idea how someone came up with the internal mechanisms of this set. Its brilliant and definitely the most fun and challenging build ive had! 😀

[@jardex2275]

Looks like a great build. One thing that would have added to it would be a cover for the keys. My Grandpa's old typewriter had a cover held by a couple latches. It looks like the forward facing studs above the top row of keys would have served that purpose. On the other hand, I doubt anyone would display the piece with the cover in place anyways.

[@lundsweden]

Fun fact: the return key on Apple computers refers to the key on a typewriter to return the "carriage" back to the left after it has travelled all the way to the right.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

The carriage return key also advances everything up, one line... and you don't need to wait until the carriage is all the way at the right margin to press it. Whenever you're done with a line is fine.

[@marityla]

100% agree!! I bought this without watching any video reviews and I really enjoyed the step by step discovery of just how far the functionality went. That being said, love your video and glad to find others nerding out about this kit (my favourite too!)

[@Furthewthebeast]

I watched this video a while back. I wanted to have one for a while. It was just given to me for Christmas and it’s been one of my favorite builds of all time! It works perfectly!

[@Derelictos]

I’m halfway through my Lego typewriter build at the moment and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. It’s my first lego purchase as an adult, with the exception of a small grave digger monster truck I built for my son. It was a bit hard to justify the $199.00 but what sold it was that my wife, who’s not into legos or anything toy/game related, approved of the purchase simply because it would display well in our home office. The green color compliments the brass decor and green succulent plants we already have on display. It’s something that guests will surely be intrigued with while they wonder around our home. Very happy

[@abelnemeth4346]

It is quite nice to see the letters printed. I was hoping they would go with prints, but I worried that they might just want the builder to place all those circle just in the right posiotion and angle.

[@subraxas]

Towards the ends of your reviews of these larger sets, could you please compare them size-wise against a few other large sets? That would quite help.

[@SoilentGr33n]

I started this build and when I was almost done stacking up the key arms I noticed some were sticking so I decided to take it apart and redo that section of the build. The key here (get it) is to not make the key arms too tight and just stack the spacers and lockers deep enough for the arms to move freely. I have no idea how long they will have this one into production but it was out of stock on the lego store so I had to get one from Amazon which was the same price. It is a mind blowing set.

[@astrothunderingforever2203]

Had the same problem 😅 But has been a great build (so far) and I just love the mechanics. Made me fall in love with Lego once again!

[@brickanizor839]

Thanks for the nice review Tiago, the set is definitaly on my must buy sets' list, however the problem is; the list is already too huge and too expensive!... LEGO needs to slow down on releasing such wonderful sets all at once, or at least have them available to purchase for extra additional years.

[@user-ke1gn3ql1g]

@Teamgeist Bruh. Again?

[@eliotlong5184]

I love all the intricate motion and the realism, but I feel like maybe a little bit more could have gone into the keys. Maybe have just three, one straight in and two at 45° angles. I feel like that would set it over the top in playability, though the one key works fairly well still.

[@HappySmiley23]

I know why your center type bar is higher - we just finished bag 6 and I realized what's causing this issue. Look at page 130, the final move of step 178. If you separate the pieces a bit, meaning they shouldn't be pushed into each other all the way, maybe 1-2 mm less, then the center key rests lower. It's possible to slide the pieces without disassembling anything. The project is pure delight! We're taking our time over calm evenings and enjoy every moment. Still some way to go, just wanted to comment on this issue :)

This Lego typewriter looks most like a 1920s or 30s Remington portable. 249 is kind of high, I’d be interested at more like 75.

When I saw those sand green 32-stud axles, I had a small nerdgasm. Those are rare pieces and even though I would rather they came in black for more general use, I must admit that making them in sand green is one heck of a flex on LEGO's part. Plus those gold shock absorbers... 🤤 Pardon my salivating. 😅

[@tomwolmuth3165]

Mechanism is amazing. But why they put the brown axles on the outside, also the different colors on the inside and also the different colors in one color, like on the backside 😪. Sorry for my english if there is any mistake

[@STSGuitar16]

Just finished this set and really enjoyed it. I had an issue with my carriage that i was wondering about. So as i was building it, i would obviously mess around with the keys and do some “typing” as i went to make sure the keys are moving properly and all that. The problem came when i went to add the carriage. I think since i was messing around typing before i added the carriage mechanism, it may have put the carriage on too far to the right. Like, it doesn’t sit in the middle of the page when it runs out of room and needs to be reset almost like it wasn’t centered correctly when i put it on. The result is that i push the carriage all the way to the right, and by the time i run of out of keystrokes and need to push the carriage back to the right, the carriage has only moved to the left a small amount. It’s final position before needing to be pushed back is way off center from how it should look. One thing I was wondering about is if there is any way for the carriage springs to be “reset” somehow so that I can realign it and it will finish its keystrokes with the carriage properly in the center instead of still being close to the right side. I can’t really explain it very well, but I just want the carriage to be in the center of the typewriter by the time it needs to be reset. Is there any way to “zero out” the springs to adjust the final position of the carriage?

[@snophy12345]

My slider gets half way and then stops 😢 I carried on building as someone else said it sorted its self out once built. But mine hasn’t. Then I came to see if it just doesn’t go all the way along, but no; in this video it goes a lot further! I guess I am taking that apart and loosening the gears….?! But then why would it work for half of it and not the other half!

This is a great set and all, but I have a very major complaint. I got the set when it came out, it was fun to build and worked perfectly; type on the keys and the bar in the back would slide along. After I finished building it, I put it in a glass display case to, well, display. It sat in that case, untouched, for a few months until I had some guests over. When I opened the case and started typing to show them the cool function, the bar in the back didn’t move at all. My typewriter completely stopped working even though it sat untouched in a closed display case. That’s a serious issue if you ask me, considering it’s functionality is pretty much the whole selling point. I’m honestly really disappointed.
