42602 Space Research Rover

With this amazing-looking Space Research Rover, LEGO Friends has once again blown everyone away, not content to just dominate Modern Architecture. Just take a peek at the design’s curves, SNOT-goodness throughout, and flawless color scheme selection.

Even though it’s a LEGO Friends set, this is unquestionably one of the greatest LEGO Space designs ever created and is sure to become a classic. The fact that this is an official LEGO set, much less one with a LEGO Friends theme, is beyond absurd.

60439 Space Science Lab

Using the airlock element, 60439 Space Science Lab is created as an expansion set to 60434 Space Base and Rocket Launchpad on the LEGO City quadrant of space.

A new alien buddy that the space team has recruited is one of the set’s entertaining extras, along with an astronaut in a wheelchair that can be fastened to thrusters!

For enthusiasts of space, both two sets are incredibly entertaining, but the curved design of 42602 Space Research Rover makes it the clear winner.
