A working crane lifts cargo such as the small robot rover and fuel reactor, while a geared lift at the back lowers the crew to the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the cab to find two seats and detailed control panels, and inside the living quarters there is seating, a shower, toilet, treadmill and fridge. Recycling and sample containers plus gas and water canisters complete the mission kit, and a special air-lock element allows connection to compatible space-themed LEGO sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 1,599 pieces and an 11+ age rating, it is a meaty, rewarding build for older children and adults who enjoy engineering and space exploration. When expanded it measures over 44 cm long, so it makes a bold display piece. It is a fascinating set for discussing how real crews might live and work on Mars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2024 and now retired, this rover is a great way to fuel curiosity about future missions to the Red Planet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LEGO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65072857612665,"sku":"42180","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0209\/2978\/files\/42180.jpg?v=1793577263","url":"https:\/\/brickabrac.co.uk\/es\/products\/lego-technic-42180-mars-crew-exploration-rover","provider":"Brickabrac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
