Newly discovered on Ebay USA is this amazing SPACE TRACT ROCKET SHIP knockoff of the SPACE GLIDER. Described as a battery operated spaceship made by MEGO in early 1970. The ship is marked Hong Kong and measures 14.5 inches from tip of antennae to rear. The box describes the features as being jet sound, bump n go with tail light. I managed to get some extra pictures of the toy from the seller. The normal twizzle knob has been replaced with a very strange pilot globe. I have seen something like this before but can't think where. It amazes me that a big company like MEGO, famous for Super Hero action figures, made a spacve ship like this. It begs the question are there any more out there? Unfortunately I dipped out of the bidding early on as the old coffers are low! Still I am thrilled to get the pictures on the blog and am amazed that after 20 years I am still seeing SWORD knockoffs like this that I have never seen before. Even in recession Life is good!
