Unplug from your digital life and recall simpler times as you build a LEGO® Ideas model of an old-fashioned typewriter (21327). The design is inspired by the classic typewriter used by the LEGO Group’s founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen, and it moves and sounds just like the real thing. The brick-built centre typebar rises each time a letter key is pressed and is linked to the carriage that moves across as you type. There is also a platen roller that you can feed real paper into.
Created by a LEGO fan for fans
Created by a LEGO fan and voted for by LEGO fans, this detailed typewriter model comes with a letter written by Thomas Kirk Kristiansen, a member of the fourth generation of the LEGO Group’s owner family – slot his letter into the typewriter to complete a delightful display piece.

The LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327) receives mixed reviews, with many acknowledging it as a standout set of 2021 despite flaws. Praised for its functional design and representation of a classic typewriter, some reviewers like Solid Brix Studios question if it warrants the $200 price tag.
Tiago Catarino provides a neutral review of the set, while JANG's LEGO Reviews appreciates the surprisingly good functions but notes it doesn't fully replicate a real typewriter. Unbrickme points out flaws, such as potentially off-centered keys, despite considering it one of the best sets of the year.
