LP Explorer Car Exploring

While out in The Cave the other day, I took snaps of a bunch of my smaller LP and other space toys 'in action'. This one was featured in a post yesterday so I put it to work doing what it's supposed to do - Explore! Be Blessed and Relish Life!

LP #704 Lunar Exploration Set

Well, I sure did hit a grand slam with this one: three playsets in one! The set has nine astronaut figures, three vehicles, and a tiny spaceship in a three-compartment window box. No additional terrain pieces or accessories are included. There is no printing on the box back or bottom. The figures are all 1"/30mm H. Of course, LP recycled their toys and the same pieces can be found repackaged in other sets, but it's fun trying to track all these down. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Top Set

The Moon Rover measures: 3.125" (7.93cm) L x 1.5" (3.81cm) W x 1.375" (3.49cm) H (to top of searchlight)

Middle Set

The Bubble Rover measures: 1.5" (3.81cm) diameter x 1.25" (3.17cm) H

Bottom Set

The Moon Bus measures 3" (7.62cm) L x 1.25" (3.17cm) W x 1.5" (3.81cm) H

LP No. 405 A/C Explorer Car

I've had this LP Explorer Car (aka MOLB - Mobile Lunar Laboratory) for years now and have yet to take it out of the package and is one of several cars by LP all labeled 'Explorer Car'. I'd love to get the other two in the series but man-o-man have the prices gone through the roof when they do become available! It measures 3 1/4" (8.25cm) L x 1 /1/2" (3.81 cm) W x 1 1/4" (3.17cm) H to top of hull. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Montgomery Wards Miniature Apollo Exploration set - Pt 5 Vehicle Group

This next set of pieces in the Montgomery Wards Miniature Apollo Exploration set I'm simply calling the 'vehicle group' - just cuz! Two of these we've already covered, namely the transport vehicle and the downsized Prospector. New to us is the LP Explorer Car, one of several designs LP offered all with friction motors. The complete line-up can be seen here on SpaceX Central. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
