Lego City Mars Research Shuttle

Relaxed build over 2-3 hours with some background movie watching, then dismantled it and rebuilt it with my niece of 4 and grandfather the next day and we all had a blast! (Thrilled to bits to see my niece thoroughly enjoy her first taste of Lego!) The set design is wonderful, a number of sections I...

Guessing here, but I think the "story" behind this set is that astronauts in orbit around Mars in a space shuttle are controlling a Mars drone and robotic exploration rover on the surface, then a rocket box (?) lofts a rock sample up to the ship for study. You get a little of everything, here: a shu...

I put this together with my pre-teen and it was a blast. The thing I noticed was the shuttle's landing gear is CHEAP. They are little wheel parts I've never seen before. We have constructed many, many spaceships and they have pretty good landing gear, but this one is no good. Also, the cockpit isn't...

Small but very detailed for the size. At $30 it’s average piece count worth but I love space so it’s good. Good set for kids above 7 not many fragile part attachements.

A combination of continuing space shuttle fever after the release of 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery and excitement over Ingenuity's flight led me to track down this older set and I'm glad I did.

There's a lot to the set, to the extent that it almost feels like two separate complete sets repre...

My kids love this spaceship! My five year old built it all by herself and and my two year old can’t stop playing with the rover. Get this set before it goes up in price. It’s not a set that will likely end up half off on the clearance aisle. That being said, there will likely be space shuttles in th...

I bought this for my 5-year-old son, who is totally mad for all things space at the moment. We put it together in three small sessions across a couple of days, and he was able to do almost all of the building himself with very little help. He was very proud of being able to assemble it! The end resu...

First up, of the two astronauts provided, one face looks clearly female. This was a delightful surprise for my daughter and I. She’s six and found some of the little pieces hard to get clicked all the way in, most particularly the ball joints on the rover. Since it’s listed as a toy for five and up,...

We were shopping together and this is what my grandson wanted for his birthday. He is familiar with Lego building because he and his two older brothers do it but this will be his first solo project. He is very excited about it and love the research station concept. If he needs help he will have near...
