The LEGO Mars Mission team is busy digging energy crystals on Mars, but the aliens aren't friendly! This 374-piece LEGO kit lets you jump into the battle with two toys - the claw-tank and an alien spaceship. The alien ship is very cool and the wings fold in for high-speed chases! The claw-tank is good too, with a terrific rotating piece that lets the top spin 360 degrees (and is perfect for more giant robots!), as well as working arms and a disc shooter. Unfortunately, the glow-in-the-dark aliens can't move their arms and the disc shooter doesn't work very well!

This set is a great start to exploring Mars and blasting aliens. It's packed with cool LEGO pieces and goes great with the LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants Build-a-Bob kit!
