Space Toys

The 12 Lunar Modules that went to the moon cost a total of $2 billion (£1,224,433,556), or almost $17 million apiece (£10.3 million). This full-sized replica, from Space Toys, cost just $90,000 (£55,000), making it a bargain.

We imagine that the manufacturing tolerances are less important if you don’t have to actually get the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) to the Moon, but the custom builds are promised to be authentic and can be customised to "match a specific lunar lander Apollo Mission", all of which were different.

Upgrades cost extra, but given that the computers in these landers were outclassed by the average mobile phone, just throwing in a PS3 is a significant upgrade. It would also make this the ultimate nerd’s gaming den.


  1. Factor of ten error in there. 1000 million in a (US) billion. Makes it even more of a bargain!

  2. Thanks Paul. Duly changed. I would very much like one but unfortunately, it's about the same size as my house and garden combined.
