If you are a Lego enthusiast who loves space exploration, you will be thrilled by the new Lego Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance, which was revealed today for CAD 129.99. This set is a realistic replica of the actual rover roaming the Red Planet, with many features that highlight its engineering and scientific achievements.

The Lego rover has a six-wheel suspension system that can be adjusted with a lever. You can turn four of its wheels inward to make the rover spin 360 degrees on the spot or keep them straight for normal driving. This feature reflects the real rover’s ability to navigate tight spaces and overcome challenging terrain.

Third time's a charm for the refreshed T-65 X-Wing Starfighter. Lego is releasing the most detailed version yet with this 1,949-piece Lego model. It joins the other sets in the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series. The design doesn't deviate too much from its predecessors. It gets the 4L4 fusial thrust engines and the KX9 laser cannons. This new X-Wing measures 10.5 inches in height and 21.5 inches in length once complete.

This build also comes with a lightsaber-wielding Luke Skywalker in a Rebel flight suit, complete with a dedicated spot on the display stand. There's also an R2-D2 minifigurine sitting inside the Starfighter. The X-Wing Starfighter will go on sale on May 4th at Lego's online and physical stores for CAD 319.99.
