Q: How big is the kit? Size of the box?

submitted by Sizeworries - 4 months ago

  • A: Hi Sizeworries — the Smithsonian Mars Dig Value Kit box is approximately 9 x 7 x 2 inches. It’s compact but includes the dig brick, tools, and learning guide inside. If you have any other questions about the kit, feel free to ask!

Way too hard and low quality

The rover toy is absolute garbage (a wheel broke when putting it on) and it takes over 30 minutes and a TON of work to get the rocks out. They’re essentially inside a chalk brick you have to chip at with a dull wooden pole.

Cute and tiny

It’s cute but very small. If you need it for a toy or model it’s cute.
