“Seriously, this whole Mars Mission series is quite cool for a modern LEGO theme. I liked the 90's themes better, but this series has some awesome models with it! All in all, this is still a great set and an absolute must-have for every true fan of LEGO.”

About Space Mars Mission

Mars Mission was a LEGO Space subtheme released in 2007 that consisted of 17 sets whose story focused on the adventures of a team of Astronauts as they land on Mars and are forced to contend with a dangerous alien race. The humans are a group of astronauts that have journeyed to Mars in search of powerful yellow-green energy crystals found on the Martian surface to power their futuristic devices and technology. The Aliens have originated from an unknown place in the cosmos, and are also searching for the crystals as well. Both races wish to use these crystals as power sources, which can be used to supply energy to all of their respective vehicles and systems and as such they fought each other.

Mars Mission consists of 17 sets that ran from 2007 to 2008. As of today, 7649 MT-201 Ultra-Drill Walker is the most valuable Mars Mission set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $570.
