  • In this LEGO review I'm taking a look at LEGO Friends 42602 Space Research Rover and I cannot believe how cool it is, especially considering its theme of origin. Well done LEGO Friends!

    I don't get why the City space station didn't have convertible, multi-function modules, when the idea looks so good and works so well in this set. Maybe the extra bricks and accessories would have pushed the price too high up (but the pricing isn't directly linked to the piece count).

  • @DisneyDahling
    @DisneyDahling 3 месяца назад +1

    Just so people know, the height of minidolls aren't that far from minifigs so it wouldn't look that weird if you just place minifigs instead of minidolls if you hate them that much.
    If you're avoiding the friends theme just because of that you are missing out!

    I can't believe I am living in an era where Lego Friends have wave that releases tons of good Lego sets but Lego Star Wars literally releases one or two sets for a wave and call it a day.
    (Now, don't get me wrong, the new sets are good, such as the Ahsoka wave, but my main problem is that, Lego Star Wars wasn't like what it used to be before, ever since 2021, they just release 4+ sets (which I HATE) and diorama sets, and very few actual sets; I used to remember the time when they released battle packs and different variety of sets, even before 2015, now they just sell very few actual sets , I just want to be honest, I'm sorry, but its the truth for me)

    Love that friends gives us great pieces in new colours, those fern pieces are going to get some serious use in alien MOCs and underwater stuff.
    The astronaut dog is hilarious but the friends art style really isn't my thing which is a shame because they make a lot of cool animals, they have been killing it on builds though.
    As you said the botanical garden and mansion are spectacular and are two sets I really want to get but this is a miss for me I much prefer the city rover over this. It's just a bit too stubby imo.
    Great review as usual I like that you talk about the toy aspect while adults might not care I'm sure kids are watching these too.

    I really like the look of this, it's very vibrant looking and packed with features. It reminds me of the Monster Burger Truck from the Creator 3-in-1 line in 2021.
    The value is the only issue here; its UK price is nearly twice as expensive as the City Space Rover you showed at the end. In fact, its UK price is actually more than both the City Space sets, the Rover and the Interstellar Spaceship you displayed, put together.
    So because of that, this Friends Research Rover will unfortunately need a hefty discount to justify me going for it. Especially to prevent me buying those two City sets again, both of which have already had 45% discounts, to the point where I can actually add a fleet of two more spaceships and rovers for a tiny bit more than the price of this one Friends Research Rover!

This I will need to get for the fancy new aliens. Might get 2.

    I came up with a theory about this Space lego theme collaboration (more precisely lego city x friends) because of the similarity/variance of aliens I think that city and friends on the same planet BUT each in a different part/region of the planet, for example city is in the desert part of the planet and friends in the jungle part (as an example the planet Pandora from the movie series Avatar there are also parts of the planet different and in them different species/forms of na'vi (natives) who are each adapted to a given environment

    Really impressed that this new space theme encompasses so many of the Lego ranges, and in particular into the Friends range, which traditionally has been targeted at girls. There's clearly no reason space should be the preserve of boy's imagination, who typically the city/technic sets have appealed to.

See.. everyone who consciously buys a friends set for themselves is awestruck by them as you are.. but have you taken them to your personal heart over time?
