About LEGO 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.
2008 LEGO Sets
2008 celebrated two milestones: the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick and the 30th anniversary of the minifigure. LEGO Cuusoo (later LEGO Ideas) launched in Japan, paving the way for fan-designed sets. Indiana Jones joined Star Wars as LEGO’s second Lucasfilm theme, and Speed Racer appeared briefly alongside it. In-house lines included Agents and the debut of LEGO Architecture, aimed at adult collectors. The Green Grocer (10185) further elevated the Modular Buildings line, confirming its status among LEGO’s most prestigious collections.
