  • Fun set for kids!
My nephew loved this set. He's eight. He built it right away and told me he loved all the moving/working pieces in the set.

  • Love LEGO TECHNICS!
LEGO Technics are great for restless grandkids with an aptitude for building. My grandson lives for these, and they're inexpensive.

  • Incredible detail and rewarding build!
We recently purchased this LEGO Space Rover for our 9-year-old, and it has been a fantastic experience! The level of detail in this set is truly impressive, from the intricate rover design to the realistic physical controls that mimic an actual space rover. Building it was a project in itself—it took about 2-3 days for my child to complete, working in focused sessions. The process requires patience and attention to detail, which I think is a great way to develop problem-solving skills and persistence. It’s not overly challenging, but it does require some effort, making it ideal for kids around 9 to 12 years old. Once completed, the rover feels sturdy and functional, and my kid loves “driving” it around. Seeing how proud they were of their work after finishing was priceless! I would highly recommend this set for any young LEGO enthusiast or space lover. It’s both a fun activity and a rewarding accomplishment. ... show more

  • Thumbs up
My LEGO loving 13 y/o is all about the Technic pieces these days, and while he prefers his own creations for the most part, he’ll still do a kit now and then. He enjoyed this one, and so far hasn’t taken it apart to use the pieces for something else.

  • Really cool little set with a neato gimmick
Totally a fun build. Not complicated an quite easy to build. I like the chassis height system this set has. Plus that it is a daughter set to the VTOL shipping ship makes it even better. There is a carry handle so the Shipping VTOL can pick it up as well. Really cool.
