Where is the Century 21 Lunar Climber?

Back in the mid-Naughties this beautiful and rare Lunar Climber by Century 21 Toys graced Ebay for a while. I did have a flutter on it but missed out. I'll never forget Wotan's advice when I said I'd lost: 'You should have put the ton on it!'.He was right as it sold for just over £90!

Part toy, part myth, in the late Sixties the toy trade press considered it to be part of the Project SWORD toy range. Sadly this was a case of mistaken identity but a tantalising notion nonetheless: The SWORD Climber! I'm surprised that SpaceX never had a crack at it.

Many years have passed since that day on Ebay and I'm sad to say that I have never laid eyes on the Lunar Climber again anywhere. To this day this image remains the only one I have ever seen of the actual toy and box. Can anyone help with more? Just where is the Century 21 Lunar Climber?
