lego ideas 21327 typewriter box front

LEGO today unveils the set  LEGO Ideas 21327 Typewriter, a product of 2079 pieces inspired by the project Lego typewriter by Steve Guinness. The official designer in charge of the file has taken some liberties with the original creation and we get here a crossover to the hull Sand green between a Silverette II type machine and a portable Remington that vaguely resembles the Erika-10 model used by Ole Kirk Kristensen in the 30s.

The machine is "functional" with a character bar placed in the center of the basket which begins to move when one of the buttons is pressed. It is possible to insert a sheet of paper around the roll, the carriage moves over the keystrokes and the lever placed on the left allows you to perform a carriage return. The ribbon color selection button only has an aesthetic function, the machine keyboard keys are pad printed and the two model identification plates are stickers.

Finally, LEGO provides a letter written by Thomas Kirk Kristiansen, great-grandson of the founder and chairman of the group's board of directors, translated into 43 languages. These different letters in A5 format are gathered in a notebook, you just have to detach the one you want to display with the machine. Dimensions of the object: 26 cm long, 27 cm deep and 12 cm high.

The set will be available as a VIP preview from June 16, before global availability announced for July 1, 2021. Retail price: € 199.99.

We will talk about this machine again in a few days on the occasion of a "Review ", the innards of the thing house a rather impressive mechanism.

lego ideas 21327 typewriter teaser 2021

On to the usual little teasing sequence before the announcement of a new product from the LEGO Ideas range with a short video that promises the imminent announcement of the set based on the project. Lego typewriter by Steve Guinness, who had reached the required threshold of 10.000 supporters in October 2019 and who had finally been definitively validated lord of the review phase of June 2020.

The teaser does not reveal anything of the product itself to which the latest rumors to date attribute the reference 21327. The color of the armchair on which the young woman sits is undoubtedly an indication of the color of the final product, the rumors announcing a version Sand green of the object.
