Typewriter
21327-1 LEGO Ideas and CUUSOO 2021 2080 parts 10.5% repair risk Expert
The LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327-1) recreates a vintage writing machine, drawing inspiration from the classic model used by LEGO Group founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen. This intricate 2080-piece model features a fully functional mechanism where pressing a letter key raises a brick-built centre typebar. The typebar is intricately linked to the carriage, which moves across the model as if actively typing. Furthermore, a rotating platen roller allows real paper to be fed into the machine, enhancing its authentic feel. The set includes a unique letter penned by Thomas Kirk Kristiansen, a fourth-generation member of the LEGO Group's owner family, designed to slot perfectly into the platen for an elegant display. This detailed build celebrates classic design with genuine mechanical movement.
