Space Research Rover Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“Alongside those two mini-dolls in astronaut outfits, the set includes a space dog, two aliens, the eponymous rover and a hover scooter. The rover is equipped with an extendable camera arm to capture signs of alien life, fold-down beds for the mini-dolls, a bed and food for... More the dog, and a research lab to study samples (or perhaps just to dissect those poor aliens).”
The Brick Post
“It features a uniquely shaped and brightly colored Space vehicle, two Mini-dolls, a Dog figure and two new blue Alien creatures. It also has some interesting parts such as the transparent leaves, one of which is a brand new recolor.”
