The Mars Curiosity Rover has been exploring the Red Planet for several months now, but soon you'll be able to craft your own replica in the (non-toxic) comfort of your home.
The team at LEGO has selected a model of the Mars Curiosity Rover as the next fan-backed idea it will turn into a real project. LEGO solicits ideas for new models via its Cuusoo website, where fans can vote for their favorites. If any proposal gets over 10,000 votes, LEGO will consider producing it for real.
During the last round, which ended in Sept. 2012, three projects topped 10,000 votes: the Curiosity model, a UCS Sandcrawler, and a model based on the video game Portal 2. After considering each project from four angles - brand and strategy fit, business case development, license agreements, and model design - LEGO decided to go with the Curiosity project.
