This LEGO Ideas model, inspired by Ole Kirk Kristiansen's classic typewriter used during its founding years, features a center typebar that rises when each letter key is pressed, carriage movement when typing, platen roller to feed real paper into and Thomas Kirk Kristiansen (the fourth generation owner family of Lego group), plus printed letter in 43 languages from Thomas himself!
An increasing number of adults are rediscovering or rediscovering the joys of Lego as a hobby, known as Adult Fans of Lego (AFOLs). They come from all walks of life; some even abandoning day jobs to pursue Lego full time - like Mississauga resident Graeme Dymond who built his first set back in 2012 and now sells customized structures to Toronto Dominion Bank and Mazda!
Lego Art Creative Lead Fiorella Groves notes that their adult-targeted sets differ from those designed for children in that their emphasis lies more on displayability rather than playability.
