Took these photos ages ago but it seems to be a topic of the moment so thought I would post them.
The case packaging:

This set is definitely more elaborate than the similar add-on set 6460. This one has a solar panel and connector, two light bars, the gold rocks, and a sticker sheet and printing on the figure. The figure itself is a repeat from the Space Shuttle set, but is quite nice.
Here are the two sets next to each other



and here are the two figures side by side

As space sets go I think this one is a really nice one at a great price point. It actually makes a better add-on to the Space Shuttle theme than the add-on does. It is available in the US and I hear Portugal now. The add-on has disappeared from the US site along with the space sets now though.  Worth picking up if you are a space fan.
That's it for this review, thanks for reading

I have both these sets (still unopened) even though I'm not into Space, just because the sets look so cool. The only thing I dislike is the silver knight arm armour on the add-on set astronaut. Was white so difficult? Does anyone have any spare white arm armour?

Good point.

This is a great set, a real Apollo Lunar Rover.

Not my theme, Tim, but a great review and the 9101 set is definitely superior; the other could easily be a knock-off.

Great review.
Looks like a great little set and that figure is indeed pretty cool.
Those who already have that figure can easily change it's hair or even the whole head to make a new character for their space team.
