The set also includes two microfigures representing the astronauts, adding a cute and successful touch to the set. While a full-scale figure would have been appreciated, these microfigures make for a moment of nostalgia.

In summary, this limited offer is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for Lego fans and collectors alike, offering both a throwback to the past and a unique collector's item.
