2024 has been the year for LEGO and Space and already the LEGO Technic theme has seen plenty of Space-branded sets but another one will be releasing on the 1st of August 2024. This time it is a brand new 18+ model for the LEGO Technic theme with 42182 NASA Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle - LRV including a total of 1,913 pieces retailing for $219.99
The set itself is a brick-built version of the NASA lunar rover module carried by Apollo 17. The rover can be unfolded allowing equipment to be added to the vehicle along with access to the steering wheel and active suspension. The 18+ NASA model also includes a battery pack, which includes heating and cooling elements, a TV camera with antennae, a communications unit and plenty of tools that include a shovel and drill to find LEGO Moon rock elements.
The set also features the Traverse Gravimeter Experiment carried by Apollo 17, plus a tribute to Big Muley – the largest rock sample to have been brought to Earth by the Apollo programme. This amongst many hidden details, cool part usages and accurate representations of the actual NASA Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle create an amazing display and play set for the LEGO Technic theme.
