Yes, the armoured drilling unit is awsome!

I completely agree. The way it can split into three is cool. It reminds me of something, but I can't quite think what.

I have to say, this is abit pointless now, we will all start talking rubbish until they come out. Would be cool if lego set up a breif storyline or website or something to entertain us.

Help me out guys. I really like the look of Mars Mission, but I am already spendin $500 on LEGO this summer, running out of room for LEGO's, and don't really want to start a new theme. Can you guys convince me why I should or shouldn't get them? Thx in advance. :-)

6-Wheeler Drilling Tank-Nice. However, I'm not a big fan opf Bionicle use in system that could use regular Technic instead of the wonky weapons and such that make sense in EXF but not really in regular space ships. Should've done this like the CTT. I'm loathing that Zamor Launcher, but the overall design and two small ships make up for its failures. Overall-8/10

Tank-tread mecha-I love this one! The set seems a bit lanky but the included ship and bricks, plus the tank treads make me want it soooo bad!!!!! Overall-9/10

Large Alien Ship-OMG! This is my favorite! The tentacles in the body, the gunners, the tail fins! Delicious! The only bad thing is the <insert that tiresome argument> launcher. Overall-10/10

Small Human Flyer-A must buy for me! This cheep set is what classic space was based around! It reminds me of the CS Space Scooters!!! Overall-10/10

More to come...

Perhaps you could buy a few of the small sets, so you don't run out of room as fast. You could also do this for the other themes you intend on buying. You know, you don't have to get all the sets in a theme ;-) .

If we buy these, TLC might get the notion that Space is a marketable theme and put more effort into the next year's models... Notice how the summer ExoForce pics look a lot nicer than last years?

Well that could happen with Space too.

Thanks for the help. The base doesn't look good, so forget that, and I somehow don't seem to like the Armored Drilling Unit either. The Astro Fighter is too small, the set with that small four wheeled vehicle and alien ship isn't that great. I also am not that appealed by the Recon Dropship. So I am only getting three sets: The Alien Mothership, Claw Tank Ambush, and the Trike.

Yeah, I really hope this great theme undergoes a great transformation or we get another and better space theme.

So I am only getting three sets

I dont see the Astro Fighter's size as a problem, rather, its small so I'll be buying extras :-D ... Especially if it comes with an Android minifig(from Spyrius) like some of the protoype pics show.

and actually, I think the Alien Fighter/small Rover is one of the best sets in terms of potential playability. Youve got two vehicles, equally representing the human explorer(conquerer?) and the alien patrolship. I see a potential first contact situation here... who will fire the first shot? or will they try to communicate peacefully? maybe the aliens will interpret the human's drilling operation as a hostile act?

yup, fun stuff.

Wheres the jetpacks for the astronauts? Any news on the aliens moving parts (if they have any)?

-ZotS

Printing can be seen on the astronauts backs here, so perhaps they won't get jetpacks as such (the one sat on the chair in the base in the bottom left). As for the aliens, I get the impression that there are no moving parts to them. But I could be wrong.

Where abouts? I can't see from that picture.

Its the same pic that was pointed out in the 'Toy Fair 2007' thread. The large picture of the base. Start in the bottom left corner, follow the tube to the block where the other tubes start from. On top of the 'block' is an astronaut in a chair. Look at his back.
