Lego Mars Curiosity Rover

This awesome 295 piece Lego Curiosity Rover was originally created by Stephen Pakbaz who worked on the real Curiosity program. Through Lego’s CUUSOO social platform, he saw his creation become a reality and product. Staying as true to form as possible, this even features a “rocker-bogie” suspension arrangement for the Rover’s six wheels to maneuver all your extra-terrestrial living room antics.

The articulating arm and other shrunken components are also accounted for. Unfortunately the Lego version does not come equipped with a laser and drill installed as the NASA version does. But at a mere $29.99 vs $2.5 billion, we will let the laser and drill slide. So go forth Earth dwelling humans and explore your back yards and sandboxes. Make your every martian dream come true with this non nuclear version of everyone’s favorite RC car, just try not to draw any vulgar shapes in the carpet from the tracks it leaves like NASA did on Mars.
