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

New Lego Technic Mars Crew Exploration Rover is sci-fi but built with NASA's help

Lego 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.
