Three new Technic sets announced!

And with this, they've pretty much finished remaking the 2002 Discovery sets (yes I know it's a different rover but it's the spiritual (hah) successor. )

Perseverance is looking great!

And it's an obvious choice in hindsight, but it's so nice that they included Ingenuity too.

Love the rover. Might put it on the list, but Technic was never my thing to begin with.

"That John Deer is insanely priced. Are the pneumatic valves made from pure silver?"

Well, mahoosive claws don't come cheap.

Didn’t spot the pneumatics initially on the John Deere, but my first impression said there’s a 60 euro set. Even knowing the more expensive parts are there now, I’m baffled.

The Rover is glorious! Day 1 purchase for me!

Why not show USD?

FINALLY something intresting from technic.
Now give me technic animals.

I need perseverance

not sure how well known it is.... but NASA had a program where you could sign up and have your name put on a micro chip that was installed on the rove before launch. both of my kids have their names on this so now I have to buy it..... LOL

42158 will make a nice big brother to set 21104. Looks like this rover has the 4-wheel steering function on the authentic rover. Looking forward to this set!

A new pneumatics set is always good!

Finally, a follow-up to 7471

Ugh licensed sets, though I kinda wanna give that rover a pass. That Harvester seriously could've just been unlicensed and it would've probably sold better due to a smaller price tag.

I wonder what Mark Rober's thoughts are on the Perseverance Rover...

Best LEGO Reveal day YET! Mars rover is the first technic set to catch my eye in a while

No rover on Polish site. But there is blue version of Bugatti Bolide

It's a skidder, not a harvester!

Love that they made the rover wheels!

Perseverance is neat, and seems priced pretty well for the size!

The skidder is a cool set, but I agree with some of the other folks here that it seems way too expensive, even with pneumatics. I'll have to wait for more pictures (maybe the official press release) to make up my mind on that.

"Am I seeing gold stickers on a black brick on that drone, instead of gold printing or simply a gold-colored brick?? This is ridiculous"

If so, that would be accurate to the insulation system...

Neat, not my area but neat.

Look at that rover! Day 1 purchase <3

Honestly why are the pneumatics so so expensive??

I never got any of the previous Mars rover sets, although all three are on my wanted list, and I do have a Hot Wheels Mars rover (cant remember which one), so I'm definitely planning to get 42158. As for the other, I actually had to look up what a "skidder" was in this context. The set looks cool, and I do love pneumatics (even if I only have two sets with the function), but it's a bit expensive, so I'll probably give it a pass.

IDK if the license has much to do with it--the previous Deere set was over 400 pieces for $35.

@rgeiger:
I wanted to buy that rover, but I was knee-deep in Bionicle sets with a dash of Star Wars in those days, and earning a lot less than I am now. I also wanted the Cuusoo rover, but it was sold out before I even knew it had launched.

@LegoDad_itsforme_:
Probably not well-known. I have the Biff/Sandy minifigs, I know of the LoMartians that went to space, but this I’d not heard. Maybe if it had some sort of LEGO tie-in…

@TheOtherMike:
I think I have at least two different version from Hot Wheels. One I know for sure I got was a Pathfinder/Sojourner 3-pack. It had the entry shield capsule, which you could open and there was a tiny fold-up Pathfinder lander (I think it was small enough to fit on a 4x4 plate). It had a larger Pathfinder that you could unfold to reveal a tiny Sojourner (maybe twice the size of a minifig roller skate). And it had a Sojourner that was about the size of a standard Hot Wheels car, so it basically represented all the basic steps of the mission after it reached Martian orbit. I got one pack to open, and one to keep sealed. I _think_ I’ve bought at least one other Hot Wheels Mars rover, but I have no idea which rover it’s based on, or what format it was produced in.

Oh, I did get 7469, and the matching Apollo mission set. Those were affordable enough that I couldn’t pass them up.

Mars rover is amazing, very rarely to technic sets catch my eye, but this one has done it.

So the Mars Rover is a must-buy for me, no question, and if I had room and the cash I'd be pretty tempted by the John Deere. I own the smaller scale John Deere tractor, and this looks like it's roughly in scale with the Class Xerion, so it'd fit in my collection.

@PurpleDave :
If you get a chance to obtain 7471 , do it. It is an awesome set if you are interested in space exploration. It's also a very decent set function-wise if you like Technic. I bought three of the sets back then when I was a student. I sold one MISB, which I now regret. It also needs some work to update the rocker bogie suspension. I thought I had some pictures of the mods in my Brickshelf gallery, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Anyways, if you have the chance, buy it. The same goes for 21104 .

Is anyone else confused that Lego completely just copied and pasted the Bugatti bolide from the start of this year but just in blue instead of yellow? The worst part is that it has the exact same render and stickers.

@Knightmares:
Were you unaware of when they turned 10271 into 77942, or 31058 into both 77940 and 77941?
