has gone back in time, launching a 2,079-piece model of the gadget -- complete with moving keys and carriage.
He submitted his concept to the LEGO Ideas platform, which takes new designs dreamed up by fans, puts them to a public vote and turns them into reality. Guinness' winning concept, which won more than 10,000 votes, will also see him receive a share of the profits from sales.Designed to mirror the function and style of a classic typewriter, the set features a center typebar that rises each time a key is pressed.
"I bought a vintage typewriter for my research and then played around with bricks and the mechanism until I was happy with the design.Credit:"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!"
ArayAromaz I NEED THIS!🥰
pokekenz Your next lego build? lol
Junk food for thought: People were building pyramids and brick buildings mimicking LEGO’s long before they were invited.
ChrisCillizza Chris, assume you will be ordering?
That’s freakin’ cool. I bet the original inventors never could have imagined that a DIY plastic typewriter would ever be a thing…
I learned to type on one like that 40 years ago.
That’s nice, but what’s the latest on Hunter Biden’s racism? Can’t find any mention of it in your feed. Strange.
Umm. If they have ribbons I’m in. I’ve been trying to find ribbon for my typewriter for years!
LEGO_Group’s next release will mimic a real Commodore 64 home computer.
That’s nice. It will be nice to have one.
This is not a ideas set Why lego stole the idea from the original creator. I used to support him that time.But then lego didn't make his set, and now it is stolen Shame on you.

Fuck LEGO! They’re was over priced.
Coming on now, you're pulling my LEGO, right!!! SatiricalStevenSays
I could type at nearly 80 words per minute at my father’s old style typewriter. My father was a judge and I used to type his ‘ ‘decisions’ for him. Nostalgia.
No more Death Star, Millennium falcon or any that... I WANT A LEGO TYPEWRITER!!!!!!!!1
Great! I can now save my building process instead of just leaving it for tomorrow like a noob .
Get an actual typewriter
Imagine what other cool things you could build with the pieces from that set and an existing LEGO collection!
This is so cool! LEGOIdeas LEGO_Group !
tomhanks Something to do on summer vacation!
ChecoVazquez
Can I please just get a Millennium Falcon for under $500?
I wonder if tomhanks will be adding this to his typewriter collection.
Ruth666 The set for you!
Omg.. it’s my birthday today and I want this haha ! How amaze is jt ?! Totes amaze
Because the world needs more semi-useless things comprised of 2,079 little pieces of plastic.
Um, I’d rather buy a real typewriter. I’d be worried about the keys always disconnecting. Plus, that is a lot of money.
legobutts A typewriter!
Not needed. No longer news, just opinions the naive perceive as facts.
That’s interesting, but not newsworthy. I do like lego, but this should be a new story
