Pros and cons

What we like

  • 363 pieces make three different models
  • Moving keyboard and platen on the typewriter
  • Four brick-built flowers and a brick-built sheet of paper
  • Three stickers with phrases for personalizing

What may bother

  • Only one of the three models can stand at a time
  • The typewriter is a display piece and does not write

Our verdict

89 / 100

Rebuilding is the hook here: the same 363 pieces turn into a typewriter, a flowerpot or a keytar. A creative 8-year-old or an adult who likes small desk builds will get the most from it. Skip it for anyone who wants a working typewriter or a huge set.

Best forA kid with a creative or vintage aesthetic, who might also enjoy displaying the finished build on a desk.
Best occasionBirthday.
Avoid ifA child who prefers action-oriented sets over decorative or vintage-styled builds.

Frequently asked questions

How many build options does it have?

Three — a typewriter, a flowerpot desk set with pen and notebook, or a keytar.

Is this a working typewriter?

No, it's a LEGO model built to look like a vintage typewriter, not a functional one.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
