“This set really looks like it could fly and it even has the engines on the back to support this. The minifigure has cool hair and they never fail to amaze and impressed me. The is one of the better sets in this theme, and this represents the theme very well.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“The Red Planet Cruiser is a fun and unique set that offers both an enjoyable build and great playability, even for older fans. Its design stands out with a single robot leg for landing and a creative flying feature, suggesting it hops around the planet. While the manipulator arms are small, they can easily be enhanced using pieces from other sets like the Worker Robot.”
 

About Space Life On Mars

Life on Mars was a LEGO Space subtheme released in 2001 that consisted of 21 sets and depicted a peaceful coexistence between humans and aliens on the planet Mars. The human astronauts were peaceful Mars explorers with a small assortment of vehicles featuring little-to-no weaponry.

Life On Mars was introduced in 2001 and currently consists of 23 sets. As of today, 7317 Aero Tube Hanger is the most valuable Life On Mars set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $489.
