LEGO Friends Space Research Rover 42602 – Space Toy with Mini-Dolls and Dog

Embark on space adventures with LEGO Friends Space Research Rover

Fuel imaginative storytelling on an uncharted planet with Olivia and William. The LEGO Friends Space Research Rover (42602) centers two mini-dolls, a loyal space dog, and two curious alien figures. With 514 pieces, this wheel-equipped rover invites kids to steer across alien terrain, set up a compact science outpost, and document discoveries from a mobile research station on wheels.

The build blends hands-on play with a science-inspired vibe. A retractable camera arm invites pretend data collection, while a dedicated lab area with a magnifying glass frames interactive experiments. When the back opens, fold-down beds and a cozy space for the dog recreate a lived-in habitat, making late-night planet-sleepovers feel believable. Open the plant-like flowers with care to spark a moment of mystery and a new plot twist for ongoing play sessions.

Expansion, connection, and display

The set includes a special space air-lock element designed to connect with other compatible space-themed LEGO sets, enabling bigger adventures across a growing galaxy of builds. The rover measures over 4.5 in (12 cm) high, 6.5 in (17 cm) long, and 4.5 in (12 cm) wide, striking a balance between a compact desk display and a workable play-scale vehicle.
