The LEGO Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance set has been debuted as a new kit for avid space exploration fans alike to try their hand at building. The kit features all the required components to build the namesake Mars rover and comes in at 12-inches in length with a nine-inch height. The articulating components on the model encourage the builder to interact with it and is thus great for being incorporated into a collection or even played with by builders aged 10 and up.
Designer at the LEGO Group Luke Cragin commented on the set saying, "I’ve always felt passionate about space, and the design process let me explore my interest as I recreated the incredible engineering developed by the pioneering team at NASA. We hope the model’s features and functions will help introduce young space lovers to the world of engineering and encourage them to reach for the stars in the future."
The LEGO Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance set will be available for purchase starting June 1, 2023.
