Three minifigs in a $40 City set is a flex — LEGO® didn't have to do that, but here we are.
Is the price fair?A+Three figs and a moon base for forty bucks — City rarely shows up this well.
Will you love it?BCompact, thematic, and stacked with minifigs for its size.
Holds its value?C-Retired City sets at this price point don't climb — expect deep discounts before appreciation.
The Full Take
The Lunar Roving Vehicle punches above its weight in minifig count — three astronauts for $40 is a genuinely good deal by any measure. The rover itself is compact but reads clearly as a moon vehicle, with enough greebling to hold your attention on a shelf. At 275 pieces the build won't take all afternoon, but it's tight and purposeful rather than padded. The lunar surface base adds context that a lot of small City sets skip. Where it stumbles is resale — this kind of accessible City set gets discounted quickly and moves on without leaving much behind for flippers. But for everyone else, the value story here is straightforward: it's priced right, looks right, and has enough pieces to satisfy without dragging.
