MORE CLASSIC SPACE YESSSSSS
Get the hint Lego.
He's been stuck on classic Space, for a while, hasn't he? Someone give Huwbot a thump.

Why would you want the Classic Space to stop?
I don't remember if I owned this one when I was a kid, but those wheels bring back memories...
SPACE
Ever since it started becoming harder to tell apart the random sets and the featured sets, I've been wondering if something's been up with Huwbot... Maybe he's been reprogrammed to encourage nostalgia and discussion while everyone's stuck at home?
Now THAT is classic Space at its finest.
I never realised those translucent red radar dishes were a much more modern element.
@Your_future_president Even Huwbot knows it's time to bring back CS!
This one I never had as a kid and eventually put together from parts orders.
Ha, that's a nicely different use of an Erling brick.
These Balloon tyres were just the best!
Wow! Three out of four of the last RSOD I have.
I can only imagine how easily those wheels are going to get clogged and choked up with dust and debris. No wonder the thing can only crawl along XD
Detachable expolartion seat what makes this set special. And the crawler has dual-turbo engines at the back. You would be able to transmit tour findings via improved antenna from whichever planet you're on. Love this set, there is no substitude.
Great minds think alike.
Yeah classic space, Detachable sub vehicle in a small set, Baloon Tyres. I must admit one of the things i liked to do was make the small "baloon tyred" vehicles from the larger sets i did not own. 6930, 6980 etc
The joys of being naked in space wearing only a helmet and oxygen tank - and everyone can see your chest tattoo as well!

If we give Huwbot a thump, we'll get nothing but Galidor.
Love this set - some great pieces and playability
Brings back many happy memories!
Not Crater Walker?
Ha that’s what I thought- if it was released today moon walker would just be criticised as a recolour!
Simple, yet awesome.
Those wheels certainly make it look much better then the standard Town wheels of that time.
Also those wheels could be connected via technic axle for wider builds.
I love classic space, but that space heater is going to burn off his crotch (and it is another part that came later than you would expect, along with that trans red 2x2 dish).
