Insights

Released in 1979 and retired, Radar Truck carries Classic Space-era nostalgia with a named red astronaut that has resurfaced in later tributes, and scarce sealed examples support long-term interest while condition sensitivity and thin trading volume add notable volatility.

Set Facts

Radar Truck was designed by LEGO designer Jens Nygaard Knudsen.
The set is contained in 1983 Space Value Pack

“Small truck with movable radar dish and a red astronaut. Not particularly exciting, but a solid little vehicle. Bonus points for the laser gun.”

BrickEconomy Member Review

“The Radar Truck is a simple yet classic from LEGO’s 1979 Space series. With only 20 parts, including the iconic red space minifig, it offers a straightforward build, but imaginative play comes alive as the truck scans alien terrain.”
