Get this Lego Technic Lunar Outpost Moon Rover Space Vehicle, on sale for $80 at Best Buy.
This futuristic lunar rover is packed with play-friendly features, including a pair of mini-rovers, plastic 'lunar rocks' and much more. While you can happily perch this on your shelf and admire it, children will get a kick out of carrying their own moon expeditions, learning as they do.
However, there's a catch. At $20 off, this Lego Technic Lunar Outpost Moon Rover is a great deal, but it's been retired by Lego. This could be your last chance to grab it before it sells out and the set starts going for silly prices on eBay.

Significantly more advanced than the Lego Apollo Lunar Rover, this set envisages the engineering that could support future moon exploration. With the Artemis program laying the groundwork for mankind's return to the moon, something like this rover could, manned or unmanned, end up driving across its surface.
But this model is more than just a pretty face. Suitable for builders aged 10 and above, it boasts a host of play-friendly features, from working suspension and a rotating arm through to moon rocks and mini rovers.
It's a great way to stimulate an interest in STEM as your children set out on their own lunar adventures. A fun toy and an educational tool all rolled into one, you can get involved in helping plan these expeditions or just keep the set to yourself.
If you're looking for a Christmas gift for a space enthusiast, this fits the bill. However, it has been retired by Lego, so you'll have to hurry. We've seen it sell out elsewhere, and once stock runs out, that's it.
