Embark on a thrilling space adventure with the LEGO Technic Mars Crew Exploration Rover. Prepare for your interstellar mission, and get ready to explore the Martian landscape. This outer space toy is a plaything and an immersive learning platform for young explorers aged 11 and above.

The rover's dynamic suspension allows it to traverse over simulated Martian terrains, providing an authentic space exploration experience. You can steer it into position and use the movable crane to lift the mini robot rover, tools, and fuel reactor.
The model is designed to expand and retract, reflecting how real-life rovers adapt from being compact for transportation to expanding when they carry cargo after landing on Mars. This feature provides a hands-on understanding of how space vehicles function.
The set comes complete with scientific accessories modelled on those used by astronauts. It includes sample containers, gas and water canisters, and other scientific equipment. These accessories add an extra layer of authenticity and encourage imaginative play.
With the LEGO Builder app, building has never been more fun. The app guides kids on an intuitive building adventure, letting them save sets, track their progress, and even rotate models in 3D while they build.
Measuring over 23 cm high, 44 cm long and 21 cm wide when expanded, this 1,599-piece set offers a challenging and rewarding build. It features an expanding truck bed, suspension, a moving crane, a lift, a generator, beacons, a companion rover, living quarters and a cockpit.
For added fun, the air-lock element connects to other compatible space-themed LEGO sets (sold separately), allowing your child to build an entire space station!
