The “Autonaut to the Rescue” play set is out … Previously called “Moon Mater Stunt set.” At first, I thought it was a bit of a stretch to promise, “Launch & Land on the Moon!” But they covered themselves legally by including a (paper?) mat that is “the moon.” Apparently your kids will be astonished […]
