[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE this Lego set!! I am so amazed at how many small pieces go into building this & I absolutely love it. I would buy this again & it is only recommended for bigger children but it’s worth it. Very educational because of the items contents.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is amazing! This is my first time putting Legos together since I was a child, and I am 40 now. The packaging is really nice, everything from the box itself to how all the pieces are packaged. I like how there are 13 different packages, and you put together one package at a time. It seems overwhelming at first, but once you get started and follow the directions, it's actually quite fun. The directions are all done by pictures, and they are very clear and are easy to follow. You still need to pay attention to what you are doing. I was able to complete the first section (shown in one of my pictures) on the first night, which took me about an hour. I did this after my daughter went to bed, and instead of watching TV. Putting these Legos together is also good for your brain. I am fascinated by how well everything fits together and how the directions make so much sense. Once you finish every section, you will feel like you accomplished something wonderful. I can't wait to finish the entire thing! If all goes well, I will probably end up buying another one.
Lots of play features but the whole design just feels inelegant. The boom is nearly impossible to use and picking up the containers isn't enjoyable at all. The majority of the piece count is tied up in small parts that never get seen or used. The extension feature doesn't feel like a great design, you have to remove parts, extend etc. Other than a bunch of newly colored parts, I'm not sure this is a keeper.
I absolutely love the Mars Crew Exploration Rover because it has so many features and is worth the money. These features include everything an astronaut would need. The truckbed is full of supplies, such as a waste canister, dead battery canister, foldable crane, canisters for air, water, and energy, a tiny rover with tool attachments, a fuel cell, and of course, everything comes with a hook for the crane to attach to.
