Curious about NASA’s other famous rover? Then check out our Lego NASA Mars Rover Perseverance review.
The Lego Perseverance Rover is a wonderful piece of Lego engineering that should please Lego space fans of all ages. It’s a gorgeous display piece for adults, and offers a lot of playability for kids too.If you’re in the market for a Martian rover and don’t want to spend the requisite $2.7 billion to get NASA to build you one, then the Lego Perseverance Rover is here to answer your prayers.
In practice, this means that building a Lego Technic set takes more of a toll on your fingers and thumbs than the average set, as you’ll be pushing pins into holes and snapping items together a lot more. It’s worth persevering with though because the end result is a more dynamic and technically impressive model., you get started by building up the main body of the Perseverance Rover across the first two bags.
There are a good number of stickers included in the set. While this is normally an instant point for me to complain about, in truth, they were all for details that are very unique to the Perseverance Rover, so I can see why Lego chose not to print custom pieces for them. They were all easy enough to line up, but sometimes the instructions don’t mention the sticker until after you’ve assembled a section, making them much more difficult to stick on.
All those connecting gears, levers, and pulleys you just assembled come good when you actually start to explore the model. It has fully operational 360° steering controlled via a lever on the top of the rover. On top of that, it has fully articulated suspension which is great for playability as this means the vehicle can drive over uneven terrain.
