Lego rolls out details about Apollo lunar rover model coming in August

A white and orange four-wheeled lego rover sits on a small wooden table.

Lego is gearing up to deliver a detailed model of the original "rock and rolling ride," the electric buggy driven by NASA's last three Apollo crews to explore the moon.

The new Lego Technic "NASA Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle - LRV" set will roll into Lego stores on Aug. 1.

"Embark on a journey to the moon with this detailed Lego Technic NASA model set for adults. The set includes a displayable model version of the lunar rover module carried by Apollo 17, plus three attachable equipment sets," reads Lego's website.

A natural follow-up to Lego's earlier released Saturn V rocket and Apollo 11 lunar module, the LRV (set no. 42182) includes 1,913 pieces and is can be pre-ordered now from Lego's online shop for $219.99 (€219.99 or £189.99).
