Another question... do we think humans are the enemy in this theme?  They
seem to be the invader on Mars against these cute little aliens.

  Interesting.  It DOES say life on Mars.  Does this mean it's life on Mars
before colonization?  Notice, though, that all the human sets are rovers and
other "harmless" machines.  With the exception of the Mono Jet and the laser
mounted on it.  To me it looks more like the Martians are the
miltary-oriented.  7311 has a laser-like device on it, 7313's "arms" could
be anti-aircraft lasers, 7314 has a flamethrower (in an oxygen-deprived
enviroment?) and "lights" that could also be lasers, 7316 has a device on
one claw that is pointed with a glowing tip which looks suspiciously like a
heavy laser to me.  At least some sort of cutting device.  What I find
interesting is the orange bolders that come with certain sets.  I recall any
collectable/desirable/shiny object being an invitation to war with previous
Lego themes (Aquanauts, Pirates, Adventurers...).  Maybe I am reading all of
this wrong and they are really first contact astronauts.  Time will tell...
Sooner or later, time will tell...  When the new Mania Magazine or catalogue
comes out (which ever is first).  Oh, and Shop@Home won't have any new sets
until January 1st.

Life on Mars reminds me a bit of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles, with the humans arriving and finding that a civilization already exists. (...) (24 years ago, 20-Nov-00, to lugnet.space)

In lugnet.space, Jonathan Mizner writes: Good point about the hands. Lego never does try to be realistic. Why would an intersteller spaceship not have any enclosed spaces? Why do you never see mess halls, bathrooms, or sleeping quarters on their (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.space)

I picked up the gray and blue Red Planet Protector #7313 this weekend. They had the scorpion looking Mech and the Lego Studio set. They probably have more to put out, but they just haven't done it yet. So like the subject says... if it's here it's (...)
