Investigation into Lego Mars Mission



About last year Lego released a new line of Lego sets called Mars Mission. I was happy to see them introduced because Lego didn't release any space sets that weren't based on Star Wars since they released a Life on Mars. This line of sets seems to combine 2 old product themes they made a while back.




One is Rock Raiders which was simply about a crew mining for energy crystals so they could go back home and two is Life on Mars all it was was a group of people flying to mars and meeting aliens there. Mars Mission however is about a crew flying to Mars and collecting energy crystals (the crystals are the same colour as the ones in Rock Raiders coincidence?) and taking them home but little do they know that there's aliens who live on the crystals so to get their crystals back they attack them.




I have to admit though the new lego aliens are pathetic. I was looking forward to seeing what they'd be like but they're only made of two parts. One is the legs - which don't move! - and the other is the top half which has the head arms - all of which don't move!! - and both parts stick together with a hinge piece. So the only action that the alien can do is some stupid looking chicken action.




However the sets make up for it. As lazy as I am and how big the Gears of War Review turned out I'm just going to show you some pictures.
