Lego Maniacs' Guide
“The Moon Walker is a small four-wheeled craft that is supposed to be sent to the moon. The main body of the vehicle is white with grey and blue highlights. The cockpit is just big enough for the mini-fig astronaut and includes a steering wheel and small 1x2 computer tile.... More The set is okay if you like Launch Command or are a Town completist but I won't say that it is a must-have.”

“Overall, I still find these older sets quite appealing. They bring you back to a time when things were simpler and less complex and encourages more imagination in the play themes.”
