Has anyone gotten both the $40 Lunar Lander with minifigs and the $20 Saturn Moon Mission(with lunar lander) sets? How do they compare to one another, besides the size difference. I was thinking of getting the $20 one at work and just getting some astronauts from Bricklink..but I wanna know how they will do on the mini lander.
I confess I'd sworn off buying Legos for several years (for reasons of space and money), but when I saw these sets, I was sucked in. I'm a serious rocket geek (evidence is in my sig file). I didn't see the large lunar lander at the store, and on the Lego website, it indicated it wouldn't be olut until mid-october.
I have the $20 Saturn V. I managed to scrounge up a couple of astronaut figures from my stash. The Lunar Module looks good with one of them stepping off the ladder, even if if he's too big if you think too much about scale. The rover looks good with one figure in the driver's seat, but I don't thing both would fit well side-by-side.
Actually, the most fun I had was building a Launch Umbilical Tower for the Saturn V with my existing stash, thought I had to buy some extra bricks to finish it.
