[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Legos are pretty straightforward but I ALWAYS have difficulty with the instructions on these bigger projects. So far so good though, hopefully in a couple more days I will have it put together completely!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Assembly consisted of 13 bags, and the extra pieces always give me anxiety that I missed something. The playable and drivable aspect of the rover is fun. The pieces are small so make sure that you don’t leave pieces near little ones. I think this set is extremely durable and will last a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As with any Lego set, this is incredible!! It’s as durable as Lego can be. Because it’s a set, you can’t really build other things with it unless you took it apart. It was very enjoyable to build and my son loves playing with it. Love the space theme Lego sets. They are awesome! I highly recommend to get your kids the set. They will love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lego Mars Crew Exploration Rover is amazing. It is larger than I thought and will definitely keep the kids busy. It is great quality and has such cool features. The instructions are clear which will definitely come in handy putting this together (we haven’t finished yet as it’s 1599 pieces). When together, it shows that it can be changed up to do different things and change the look a bit. This also will look very cool on display. Absolutely love this and fun for the entire family!!!

[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.

This set has so many cool features! It looks awesome on display especially next to the others of its kind. It has so many mini-builds and is endlessly detailed. The interior is so well made and the crane looks really well. The suspension and steering work perfectly and make this set top tier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was quite a experience. I'm still not finished. It is difficult and it kept me busy. It is a big Lego thingy and i have a lot of patience but still..if you sit for it than it is very easy to look at it step by step. I have the Lego app downloaded and it helps a lot more then the instructions from the book. Well. I am excited to see the whole thing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me a good amount of hours to complete and assemble this Lego set but I wasn’t left disappointed, it was a beautiful process and super entertaining. You can sense the high quality of this set and pieces which match its value! And at the end you can keep an actual interactive toy in case it’s wanted as toy or cool enough just for keeping as display.

Bloated piece count with awkward mechanisms

3 out of 5 stars
shroomzofdoom - 1 year ago
originally posted on LEGO
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.

This LEGO Mars Rover is Out-of-This-World Fun!

5 out of 5 stars
rosieh29_2885 - 1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Son absolutely loved building the LEGO Technic Mars Crew Exploration Rover! It was a challenging and rewarding project, perfect for their age group. The set is packed with features that make space exploration come alive, from the expanding truck bed and working suspension to the functioning crane and companion rover. Here are some of the things we enjoyed most: Realistic Features: The attention to detail is incredible! The rover feels like a real Mars exploration vehicle, with its moving parts and scientific equipment. It sparked my child's curiosity about space and robotics. Great for Imaginative Play: This set is more than just a building project. It's a launchpad for imaginative adventures! We spent hours pretending to be astronauts on Mars, collecting samples and conducting experiments. Educational Value: Building and playing with this set encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It's a fantastic way to combine playtime with learning about space exploration and engineering concepts. Dual Functionality: The coolest part is that the truck bed expands to reveal the rover, making it like two toys in one! It keeps the building and play experience fresh. Bonus Points for Adults: Even as an adult, I found this set to be a lot of fun to build together. It's a great way to bond and create lasting memories. Overall, the LEGO Technic Mars Crew Exploration Rover 11+ is a fantastic gift that will provide hours of entertainment and learning. It's a surefire hit for any space enthusiast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lego set is awesome, I had no idea it was going to be this big before it arrived! My son and I have already started the mammoth task of building this, but I think it’s going to take some time. The set is absolutely stunning with a fantastic design. Highly recommended this Mars Exploration set.
