With the flip of a lever, the rover’s iconic six-wheel suspension rotates through a set of ball-tipped gears — to turn its four wheels inward so you can rotate the entire craft 360-degrees. You can switch between that 360-degree mode and a normal driving mode, as you can see in the NASA JPL video here:
There are also a couple of extra dials on the back to move the sample arm up, down, left and right for playing. This is a large set, at 9 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 12.5 inches tall.
And, there’s an AR app if you want to pretend you’re collecting rock samples. Lego says it will also include “exciting, educational content that will introduce the real-life vehicle and its mission to Mars,” as well as a way to view local weather on the Red Planet.
Lego says the 1,132-piece set will ship on June 1. Here are some additional photos to help you out.
