Prices seem close to what I recall too (was at Kmart earlier)

These sets seem distinctly more expensive than (already expensive) normal
sets. Perhaps this is due to licensing fees to Discovery Channel (whose logo
features prominently on the box) - is this something to do with NASA imagery
or models of NASA things? I mean, heaven knows why you’d bother putting the
Discovery Channel logo on otherwise. Does that really improve recognition of
the product? I’m baffled.

Yes they are a bit up from simlar sized boxes from the current lego range, (my
way of working price vs part = value) considering the first 3 (7467/8/9) are
mini/mirco scale items! 7470 is biggish (from box art) but smaller then minifig
scale, 7471 is from what I’ve heard 1:1 scale! (but the real rover isn’t that
big to begin with).
Not sure if NASA carries a license fee, but i’m sure the Discovery Channel does!
Maybe they had to do a deal with the discovery channel get nasa’s permission?!?
Also, as far i’m aware, 7469 is not of NASA items (european rocket?) nor does
the International Space Station belong (7467) belong JUST to NASA.
Just my bit.
