Here's a few sweeties from the Selection box that is Ebay. You may have seen them already - some still live. From left to right:
1. Red Hovercraft Tank by MMF
2. Joustra jet [reminds me of Zero-X!]
3. T in a Circle Luxury Yacht [ I have one - for the T nut! beautiful]
4. Hippo Apollo Exploration Set - neat! Has anyone got one of these? Who are Hippo?
5. Saturn 5 toy - looks like the T in a Circle Saturn 5/ Apollo 11
6. Sears Rocket Base - Wow! The early version of SWORD's Apollo Rocket/Cape Kennedy Set [we get a mention too!]
7. Buck Rodgers Starfighter plastic knock-off
8. Moon Ranger flying saucer - Clifford version [like the T in a Circle one]
9. Hoover jet car - missing the tail-fin/ canopy but has all the lights and cool little pilot
10. LEM by mego - the folks who brought us the Space Tract Space Glider [with the rear sphere]

I have most of the contents of that set, and Hippo only produced that large rocket at lower left in the pic. The rest is by LP. What's unclear is who compiled the set itself. The set name is similar to Moon Exploration by Imperial toys, but they aren't mentioned on the box. The set was a Ward's mail order exclusive iirc.
Best
