I recall finding a loose Moon Traffic vehicle like this decades ago at a toy fair. I didn't know what it was back then.
The thing I recognised was the antenna, which was the same as on my SWORD Scout 1. It was the wrong one and took me years to get the proper rectangular antenna, courtesy of Bill. I then lost it in the compost!
Moon Traffic is a great knock-off of SpaceX: such blatant copying. A me-too with bells on, Roxy even shoved in a Golden Astronaut. Was that a SpaceX one I wonder?
A lovely and unusual little space vehicle nevertheless with echoes of those big tinplate moon rovers around in the Sixties. Is it a toy you have or any other Moon Traffic readers?
The one pictured is on Worthpoint's archive.
I kick myself often for not collecting the Golden Astronaut toys when I had the chance. SFZ
ReplyDeleteWe all do SF. I bet we've all walked past bargain piles of them in the past!
DeleteI got this one and a couple of the others as they were cosmetically different to their spacex counterparts. TheCruiser 3 was especially nice. Bill
ReplyDeleteWere there three different ones Bill?
DeleteShameless plug: the Roxy range is here:

As bill says, their version of the Cruiser is particularly nice - actually better looking than the Spacex original.
