Explore the Secrets of Mars with New LEGO Technic Mars Rover Set 

The Final Frontier awaits as LEGO Technic dives into space with some cutting-edge space engineering sets like the Mars Rover

Space is the only logical next step, and as technology advances, we continue to look to the stars to see what else is out there. We have already done so much, and LEGO is helping kids and adults learn about the technology that is out there to take the Final Frontier. A new set of space-themed LEGO Technic sets are on the way, including the return to Mars with an impressive Marvel Rover set.  The Mars Crew Exploration Rover comes in 1,599 pieces, and when fully assembled, it will create a rover that measures 17" long, 9" high, and 8" wide. A lot is packed into this set, including a working crane that can lift the robot rover, tools, and even a fuel reactor. Space enthusiasts can also build the crew's living area with a bathroom, fridge, working out area, and seating. Taking on Mars will not be an easy task, but kids can learn about the idea of space exploration with this Mars Rover Exploration Set, which is priced at $149.99. This set is ready to blast off in March 2024 and be on the lookout for more LEGO Technic Space sets coming soon.
