collectSPACE NASA's Space Exploration Vehicle (SEV) is now a Matchbox toy carA NASA concept vehicle for exploring the sweeping terrains of planets and their moons can now rove around a much smaller, more personal surface: the palm of your hand. Matchbox, the Mattel-owned toy car brand, has released a metal and plastic toy version of NASA's Space Exploration Vehicle, or SEV, and its mobility chassis, called "Chariot." The roughly 1/80 scale model includes many of the key features of the full-size astronaut rover, but in a form-factor that can fit in your pocket.  |

Was able to finally find one yesterday while at the store. It is neat to have a model of it after seeing the real one last week at Johnson Space Center. |
