The LEGO® Technic™ NASA Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle – LRV (42182) is a 1,913-piece model designed for adult LEGO enthusiasts and space history aficionados. This set replicates the lunar rover used during the Apollo 17 mission, featuring a detailed folding mechanism that transitions the rover from a compact stowed form to its operational configuration. The model includes three attachable equipment sets: a communications unit, a TV camera with antennas, and a traverse gravimeter experiment. Additionally, it incorporates tools like a shovel and drill, and a tribute to the “Big Muley” rock sample. The set is designed for display, with stands provided for the rover and its equipment modules. While the model is largely built using Technic elements, it also incorporates System parts, which may appeal to a broader range of builders. However, some Technic purists might find this hybrid approach unconventional. Overall, the set offers an engaging build with a rich connection to space exploration history.
