I prefer more real-world-based sets myself, but I LOVE seeing the classic space LEGO logo on these! |

collectSPACE New Lego Technic Mars Crew Exploration Rover is sci-fi but built with NASA's helpLego and NASA have a long history of collaborating, but a recently released building set launched the partnership in a new direction — both for the toy company and space agency. The new Mars Crew Exploration Rover, which went on sale earlier this month, is unlike any space vehicle that Lego — or NASA — has ever built. For Lego, it was the first time that its Technic line of advanced working models focused on a fictional space vehicle. Similarly, this was the first time NASA engineers advised on a Lego toy that was not in some way based on any of the agency's plans or spacecraft.  |

Rumor has it there's another Technic set on the horizon: #42182 Lunar Rover, retailing for $249.99. Some sources call it the "1970 Lunar Rover", which seems a bit odd, but that's not necessarily the official name. Release date is June 2024. Among others, YouTube content creator Brick Clicker has mentioned this set, and he's got a good track record when it comes to new releases. An image of the final box art should be out soon. |
