Overall opinion

Very nice set since you get some rare pieces with it.

This is a review of 3365 Moon Buggy,comes with an astronaut and the space buggy. The Astronaut comes with either the new space helmet or a blue baseball cap,the cheek lines face with bushy eyebrows,and a space suit torso with back printing.The space buggy is small six wheeled vehicle with a satellite dish,a chainsaw thingy used for finding moon rocks and a space to seat the driver and the space helmet.That`s it,nothing else.Its a very cheap set and a good set too. I give it a 5 out of 5 and its a good set.

With the little LEGO sets, I always like them more than I expect. This is a good example. On the one hand, there's not much to it. I knew not to expect too much. It's an 8x2 plate with some wheels and some bits on. But actually - it's nice!

I got it for the great price of £3.19 in Tesco (UK) - that's in their 20 per cent off all toys promotion. And for three pounds it's a wonderful thing. It's nippy. It's got six wheels. And it's got a moveable digging/drilling bit of machinery. And of course, you get a nice astronaut, with a choice of blue cap or space helmet. This was a new kind of space helmet, to me, and quite grand. And I really, really like the fact that there is room to carry the helmet on the buggy.

It certainly is puzzling that the 2011 space sets are part of 'LEGO City'. This seems like something that maybe would only be of concern to AFOLs, but during the 5 minutes I spent looking at the sets in a toy shop the other day, two little boys became engaged in an argument with each other about the implications of this, one seeming to say that they weren't space sets at all and that they were just spacey-looking city vehicles (or something).

Even for me, in this particular case it makes me wonder if this is not a moon buggy, which I think it is, and maybe it's a kind of Earth-bound research buggy, or something for astronauts to move about in near the launch pad. But no, it's a moon buggy, isn't it. (*Looks again at box*) Actually the box shows it clearly being on Earth, with a city skyline in the background. And of course, the 'LEGO City' logo. Hmmm, see, it's confusing!!

But let's ignore all that and say it's a moon buggy. Well, it's a nice one. And the fact that it's not bulky or complex is actually *realistic* since actual moon buggies had to be simple and lightweight, as they - to state the obvious - had to get them to the moon! See the Apollo one at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Lunar_Roving_Vehicle - there's not much to it.

So, this is a nice little set, and will very nicely compliment set #3366, 'Satellite Launch Platform', which I also acquired recently and am looking forward to building!

I picked this up at toytown in Scotland. It was £3.99. The space sets are in corporation with N.A.S.A .The set comes with one astronaut, He has a blue base ball cap and he has a astronauts helmet. The helmet has a gold visor, the helmet is the same design as the Atlantis helmets. He has a double sided torso with lots of detail.

The Buggy
The buggy has six wheels it has a nice drill which you can drill into the moon and discover lots of secrets. It has a satellite.

Pros.
Minifigure
buggy
only £3.99

Cons.
No cons

Overall.
5/5 good playability.

As Soon As I Saw The Leaked Pictures Of This And The Other Space Sets I Knew I Would LOVE Them (Since I Am Interested In Astronomy I Was Glad Lego Made Space Sets). But, The Box Picture And The Leaked Pics Decieved Me Because It Looked Bigger And I Presumed It Would Be Worth At Least 9.99 But When I Went Into My Local Toy Shop I Found It Was MUCH Cheaper Than I Anticipated (It Was 4.99), And It Was MUCH Smaller Too But I Wouldn't Say Thats A Con. It's An Easy Build I built It In Less Than Two Minutes Flat And It Is Quite A Barebones Set Because It Dosen't Have That Much Detail But Hey, NASA's Moon Buggy's Are Quite Barebones Too, I Was Interested The Way They Had Space Facts In The Back Of The Manual. Anyway, Onto The Pros And Cons

Pros:

Cheap

Rare Enough Pieces

White Recolour Of The Atlantis Backpack And Gold Visor

Goes Great With The Other City Space Sets

Cons:

The Antenna Falls Off Easily

That's All For This Review! I'm Not Sure If The Moon Buggy Fits In The Back Of The Space Shuttle Yet. I'll Know Soon Enough Because I Plan On Getting The Space Shuttle.

See Ya,
