Those sounds remind me of my first book reports and such that I did back on school. (Many many years ago) just when everyone started doing it on computers. I remember the teacher getting angry and substract points and if next report wasn't made on pc I instant failed. ( I couldn't afford a pc back then which didn't matter to him). I think nowadays you might get bonuspoints if you do it on a typewriter. ;)

Teachers (at least a lot of them) are a silly bunch, so I wouldn't count on them being consistent. I went to school in the 2000s and we were forbidden to use computers at all. Unless some planets aligned and we were suddenly required to provide work in print... and of course there were deductions for not following academic formalities, even though we never learned those since we never used computers.

Along with Lego's blatant disregard of canon, no minifigs is a real disappointment. I do however appreciate the dual play features of the little lettered, spring loaded launch pads as well as the sliding, twin rollers of torture. Once again however, there is very little space to pose and or fit minifigs, and the twin rollers cannot receive figures to facilitate their doom unless they are paper thin...A perforated sheet of already flattened figures would have been fine.

I wish the space bar actually worked. It feels really weird when typing and the space bar feels very mushy. I also thought that the lego typewriter would support standard. 8.5 x 11 US Letter paper. Unfortunately I have to print something smaller and then cut the paper very carefully if I want to put something custom into the typewriter. Still, I think this typewriter is the perfect combination of system and technic pieces! I love the technic mechanisms!

I love that fact that it is a generic "every-typewriter" that has all the common features showing. Of course at $270 CDN (Jang, please, show Canadian prices!) it's very expensive. But for those who want ti and remember using them, it would be worth it.

Partly because I think some ppl will just see a resale value, but also I imagine quite a few will be left unwanted once they've been built once (seems like an ideal high value gift product to buy for an adult).
