Marx Toys 1968 "Battery Operated Hill Climbing Space Scout" with Original Box + "Moon Scout Space Train" Grabber Vehicles





Good bargain price. Condition is undetermined, though that loose gear doesn't bode well. In the end obtained for appearance + space art applications rather than functionality. It won't need to drive anywhere.



I'd already had one of the white cast "Moon Scout" versions in an equally compromised state.


Worth it for the box. Please attribute pix if re-used.






Very cool.


Looks like they've been driving through Space Bugs. Will attempt to clean & recondition upon testing the mechanism, and post the results in another exciting update.

Dittos.


The stamping on the bottom of the white Moon Scout version.


And on the green Space Scout.


So I now have two of the Scout class rovers, two of the Grabber class rovers, one of the Robot Grabber vehicles, and two trailers with launching mechanisms + remnant rocket and Space Helicopter. Will enjoy figuring out what to do with them.


... Beats painting baskets of apples.
