Hello! I'm trying to find any information about this Space playset from the late 80s or early 90s. I used to own it as a kid and we're cleaning out the house, and it just hasn't shown up anywhere. I'll describe it now:

-It's a Space Command post with at least 2 sturdy legs.
-The ground is a very strong colour, either blue, green, or turquoise or bright teal. There are several craters to make it look like another planet or moon.
-It has a satellite dish that goes on the very top and rotates from the command post. The dish can also tilt up and down on a screw.
-It comes with a Space rover with either 4 or 6 wheels. The rover has a plastic window.
-The command centre has 1 side open so you can put stuff inside it.
-There is a big plastic window on the other side.
-There's a plastic gun/camera; I think it might go in a hole in the rover.
-I have no idea what the space-people look like, or if there are any.
-Both the satelite dish & gun are removable, because they're the only pieces I can find.
-There's no IDs or company names on either piece, except the satelite dish has a raised letter A on it.

It's definitely not Lego, Playmobil, Star Wars, or Star Trek. I feel like it was a stand-alone toy, not part of a series.  I included everything I can remember or know.  Any idea?

This one that went with Li'l Playmates figures (I know these were in Sears Wishbook over several years - not exactly an off-brand but not a major one either). I had their farm/barn playset as a kid with the same type of people figures. Looks like there was also a blue alien and a green alien?

That's definitely it, thank you very much! I showed my mum your pictures and she said it was one of the toys at my grandmother's house, so she must have gotten rid of it when she moved. However, I still have no idea why we've got the satellite dish or the little gun from the 02 yellow-car.
