God bless you. I was looking everywhere on the internet to find the letter in my language, no single lego website or other RUclipsr covered it with this much detail. Thank you so much.
Hi Sariel! About the escapement mechanism, I think there was one, but not in a real set... Look at the idea book 8888, there are some impressive idea inside, ( like a kind of motorized shovel ) and one of them was a clock I think, and it used an escapement mechanism... But I might be wrong and confusing with an other idea book, so no promise here... ( Still take a good look at it, I'm sure you will appreciate it :) ) about the light gray / metallic silver, I have a portable typewriter in my house, ( I don't use it since long ago though) and the metal was treated differently on some parts, resulting as some parts being shiny while other were mat... Still, I agree that Lego could make effort on inside colors...
Wow! That brought back memories. My parents gave me an Underwood I think it was to play with as a kid in the late 80's early 90's and it was fun. The sound and feel of it is unforgettable. If you like mechanical and tactile things nothing beats a mechanical typewriter.
You got me impressed - I never thought it would house such a cool mechanism. Very nice review and I love the music you used here. Also thank you for flipping all the pages of the letter booklet - nice to see our language is also included.
I rarely watch lego reviews so I have to say the quality of this video came as a huge surprise. Like the presentation is incredible, with as much information as you could ask for. Even though I've bought this set (partially off of the back of this video), I can only imagine this video gives as close to the feeling of having the set in your hands it could possible have. Fantastic video
This is the kind of set that some people will adore because it looks great and has a really neat mechanism, but some other people will hate because it looks great - besides the bright insides - and has a neat mechanism - but without corresponding function. Thanks for the review! Been binging them at work this week. ;)
The set could have a second sheet of blank paper to hide the text that "has not been typed yet". It could sit behind the ribbon, hiding the text to the right and bottom. I also think that with some tweaking (maybe using some of the piano mechanisms) they could make more arms move randomly. Still is an outstanding set!
I really enjoyed this build, and seeing that Sariel had issues getting the 32L axles lined up with the sides made me feel better about my own struggles. (I basically had to rebuild mine when I blew the whole thing up trying to ifx the alignment on mine.) : D I feel like there was an escapement-like mechanism in a set before, but in a line that was completely unexpected? Kind of like the feeling when you find a Technic mechanism in your daughter's Friends set to make doors move together, but I don't remember what it was that had it. It must have been Creator or Star Wars, as I don't build much else besides Technic, though.
I know of one other Lego escapement mechanism: the FLL Trash Trek field models included one that ejected an 8x8 round brick as a mission game piece. Yes, I know the FLL sets are not generally available to everyone, but they are official sets.
I forgot to add that the fan blade used in the escapement seems to be reasonably available, so I would expect to see a slight increase in escapement mechanisms being used in future MOCs and possibly even official sets using rubber bands to provide the driving force as the shock absorbers are still rare and have such short travel. Thank you for the great review.
2:53 I was imagining that 9x would merely indicate that one is to build 9 of them. But, yeah, these instructions are different. Like the new "turn over" symbol. I would prefer it to indicate which way one should spin the parts around.. Is this the first kit that uses that new multi-axis "turn over" symbol? (Also, Sariel, I like your work. I have one of your Technic books.)
This is truly a great set, the detail is astounding. So glad to see the printed pieces! The fake typebars do look interesting though, they look strangely not like lego. If I saw it from afar I would easily believe it to be a real typewriter. Imagine if they actually sent you the *cough* cash *cough* What does inspector muffin think though?
Thank you very much for reviewing this optically beautiful, mechanically astonishing, of stability lacking and tremendously overpriced(my opinion) brick set mady by Lego™! It was a pleasure to watch
The only annoying parts of this set is the buttons and the paper i tried tearing like the manual did, ended up ripping half the page, so i had to scan it with my printer lol
Another great video! And just a curious question - how long does it take you to make these videos, start to finish? You're doing so much (and it's still too bad RUclips and the algorithm aren't helping)!
Meh. Bit like the Grand Piano, close, but still a miss. If only they could have got the separate type bars to move and have the option of putting a real ink ribbon in to actually type text. Now that would be impressive. As it is, it's elegant but pretty useless - just like the Piano.
@@searme I can count, RUclips had 7 yellow dots, and they are double ads now a days, plus there was 2 ads before the video started playing, so adding it all together makes for 16 ads 😊
@@Ponk_80 The dots don't necesarrily mean ads. If you look at some really long video, sometimes a ton of dots are on the timeline but there's not that much ads at all
So what there are ads, I don't get why people moan about ads. Sariel pumps out brilliant content and if it means we have to watch a few seconds of ads to get this content for free then don't see the hardship.

We have a real one exactly like this (but blue, and slightly different keys) in my English teacher’s classroom that she lets us use as a message board
This guy puts so much time and effort into his editing and filming
Yet the RUclips algorithm doesn’t seem to agree...
I didn't really care for the pickup trucks, this is the review I was waiting for! Stunning model!
God bless you. I was looking everywhere on the internet to find the letter in my language, no single lego website or other RUclipsr covered it with this much detail. Thank you so much.
Glad I could help!
I really enjoyed watching, it felt like therapy
Love the set and the video is awesome
Mad Respect 👍🏼
Awesome! Thank you!

your reviews are the best out of all on youtube
Also thank you for all of the A+ quality reviews and other content so I can be entertained and have an amazing buying guide
Glad you enjoy it!
@@searme is it possible for you to make some more animal content
I'll see what Muffin thinks about it ;)
I like the music
Thank you for the review. Also, excellent music choice! Sounds as nostalgic as is should be.
Muffin can type with perfect punctuation on a typewriter with only letters. That's one brilliant dog ;-)
Thanks for the review Sariel, I am happy I got the set, the technic mechanism looked very interesting.
ya gotta be honest I havent bought many sets do to your feedback
Don't let LEGO know ;)
@@searme i won't

When I saw it the first time, I really think it would really write. I think i forgot how complex a real typewriter is.
Skipped the speed build, as this is one that I want to be surprised when I’m building it.
So finnally the time has come... We got a 5x1 plate

Glad you liked it!
Bell pepper? What happened to the banana?
Cool set, amazing in-depth review.

Excellent review! Now I'm tempted to get it after all. Or at least build one once before selling, which I do more often.

Kurcze, każdy kolejny set z Ideas jest lepszy od poprzednika
Tak zaawansowanego setu dawno nie widziałem (nie mówię o przekładniach w Technic)
What’s with this cinematic piano soundtrack? I’m getting emotional.

It's possible to build it in white too!
Great , very nice 👌
Yesss i was waiting for this review by you! :D
Hope you like it!
@@searme I definitely did!
great review...unlike the set itself
Hats off for Lego to know Portuguese from Brazil (aka Brazilian) and Portugal Portuguese
Any idea why it’s so hard for my keys to be pressed down?
Really good content dont change
Great review, I enjoyed this.
This has more Technic functionality than some Technic sets we got these days… And it isnt a technic set actually, impressiv!
I enjoy every one of your videos and I always wonder what are the names of the amazing music that plays in every video review!
Damn no cash for the best lego kit reviewer in the world ;)
2:53 I was imagining that 9x would merely indicate that one is to build 9 of them.
But, yeah, these instructions are different.
Like the new "turn over" symbol. I would prefer it to indicate which way one should spin the parts around..
Is this the first kit that uses that new multi-axis "turn over" symbol?
(Also, Sariel, I like your work. I have one of your Technic books.)
It's time for LEGO to re-create the set of all sets - ENIGMA encryption machine.
dude, i really want a sandgreen 911 since i saw the new color on the leaks
im not quite on board with that color
anyway great review
If you thought that ENGB and ENUS are already quite similar... NL and NLBE are likely to be exactly the same :)
Come to think of it, they somehow forgot the ENAU, mate ;)
Hey Sariel, what Kind of gloves do you wear (Link?) and why? Thanks for your answer!
This is truly a great set, the detail is astounding. So glad to see the printed pieces! The fake typebars do look interesting though, they look strangely not like lego.

What does inspector muffin think though?
Inspugtor Muffin thinks WHERE BOWL?
@@searme Wow! I can't believe Inspugtor Muffin said that. Thats amazing!
I love this channel
Just curious, what is your recording setup ( as in lights, background, camera, etc.) And what editing software do you use
Lumix G7 camera, two standard large softboxes (80 x 60 cm), Savage paper background and PowerDirector 18 for editing.
@@searme thank you
Important question: can I use it to play Leroy Anderson's The Typewriter?
you mean leeroy jekins?
Thank you very much for reviewing this optically beautiful, mechanically astonishing, of stability lacking and tremendously overpriced(my opinion) brick set mady by Lego™!
It was a pleasure to watch
I don't like the rotating of the new/newly coloured parts. Just my opinion tho.
hmm how you buy it, I see it is out of sock on lego page
Bricklink? EBay?
The only annoying parts of this set is the buttons and the paper
i tried tearing like the manual did, ended up ripping half the page, so i had to scan it with my printer lol
How long did it take to build this set Sariel?
Kindly read 0:14
At around 5 minutes the length of the book got kinda funny
I mean, space, shift, and backspace prints no character, so it doesn’t type anything out, just moves the carriage.
But it doesn't move the carriage here.
@@searme oh, in that case, I suppose that’s either laziness or an oversight.
Another great video! And just a curious question - how long does it take you to make these videos, start to finish? You're doing so much (and it's still too bad RUclips and the algorithm aren't helping)!
Thanks. Well, this one took about two days to make and we all know RUclips will promote some dumb reactions to reactions to reactions videos instead.
@@searme Damn. The effort definitely doesn't go unnoticed... Except by RUclips ofc
I it but I really wish they could type out at least a couple of letters for real. Maybe just the word Lego
What happened 9:20 - 9:36? You seem to redo this 3 times.
Mistakes were made.
@@searme Better to catch them early and not when you put a gear in a gearbox the other way at the very beginning.

I assumed this was the next review cause of your Facebook story
This is the weirdest lego ideas idea i have seen so far being actually produced by lego
The colour vomit inside creator sets like this annoys me, otherwise this is a great model. Great review too.
"gentile lego friend" in italian is just ugly, why not translate friend as "amico"
The best part of this video was that I got to watch 16 ads.
Interesting, especially seeing as your comments was posted 3 minutes after this video was published...
