LEGO Life on Mars

Welcome to the extraordinary world of LEGO® Life on Mars, an unforgettable chapter in the beloved LEGO® Space universe. Launched in the early 2000s, Life on Mars captivated fans with its adventurous Martian explorers, uniquely designed aliens, and inventive storytelling. This collection celebrates the imaginative spirit of exploration, offering rare minifigures perfect for both collectors and space-themed builders.

Why LEGO® Life on Mars Stands Out

Unlike the more battle-focused sets from LEGO® Mars Mission, Life on Mars offers a peaceful exploration narrative, highlighting cooperation between humans and Martians. Its aesthetic contrasts sharply with the sleek futuristic design of LEGO® Futuron, favoring rugged realism and intricate detailing that brings its alien environment vividly to life.

In comparison to the iconic simplicity of Classic Space, Life on Mars introduces richly characterized minifigures and vibrant storytelling, making it a uniquely collectible theme within the larger LEGO® Space universe.

Meet the Martians

The Martian minifigures from Life on Mars are unmistakably distinctive, featuring vibrant, translucent bodies, intricate printed details, and uniquely shaped heads. Each Martian character is a collector's gem, offering both nostalgic appeal and exciting possibilities for creative building.

  • Vega – Known for their teal-and-orange color scheme and curious expression, Vega is one of the most iconic Martians in the Life on Mars universe.
  • Altair – Featuring unique facial markings and a futuristic biomechanical design, Altair is a standout figure in any interplanetary lineup.

Suggested Build Ideas
