LEGO City Space Haul from Mars via LEGO Shop at home!

LEGO City Space Haul from Mars via LEGO Shop at home! When LEGO said they were going back into Space I was super excited! And just like NASA they decide that a mission to the Red Planet of Mars was on the cards!

So you’ve guessed by this point it is a LEGO City Space set, but which one? TBH, there’s a good chance I’ll collect them all over the next year as I think they’re excellent. But this is on that my wife saw and said “You have to get that!”. I didn’t hesitate and ordered it there and then before she changed her mind!

One thing I do love though, is how much inspiration they took from NASA on the designs of these sets – I’m surprised they didn’t actually involve them TBH. But glad to see this happening! And I am over the moon (see what I did there!) that LEGO is back in Space!

The good thing about this order was that I got to use some expiring points, but also got the free exclusive LEGO Space Rocket Ride (40335)! Excellent.

For good measure I also order a Power Functions XL Motor for powering some of my theme parks rides. That motor should easily power 3 or 4 rides with some clever gearing. That will include the Ferris wheel (10247), Carousel (10257) and Pirate Roller coaster (31084). So keep an eye out for my videos on that motorisation process!

Let me know what you think along with suggestions when you’ve finished watching the video and don’t forget to like it!
