Just when you thought you’d seen the last of it...
Moon Buggy returns! With an alternate build and a slightly different name!
Definitely getting deja vu, here.

1265 was RSOTD on 12/23/20 (only 3 weeks ago)
There is still 1180, the THIRD version, it has not been RSOTD yet.
It took me a second to realize that the other image on the left side of the box is an alternate build and not the same buggy seen from some weird angle
Still truckin' & trackin'.
That guy is gonna suffocate...
It makes the 80s helmets with no visors look perfectly safety compliant!
I miss the pure simpleness of these tiny builds.
@Galaxy12_Import:
Nope. It’s a plank with a steering wheel.
We should be prepared, it seems there is another: 1180

Not entirely true. It could be based off the final scene of Interstellar (although the 15 year gap makes it unlikely)
Wow I think that’s the fastest we’ve ever had a duplicate set show up on RSotD
I'm gonna assume this little guy is in the desert somewhere and not on Mars because I fear for his life.
I was gonna say, didn't we see this one just the other day? xD Though I suppose that's 'last year' by this point...
I still maintain that the 'real version', 6463 Lunar Rover, is a better representation of the same idea than this one. Then again, I also liked the theory that came up last time suggesting that this was just the 'training' vehicle for the desert test-run, while the 6463 was the real thing that was actually used on the moon.
@ThatBionicleGuy:
If you actually know how math works, the other one was actually last decade, not just last year.
