This is an early'ish internet reference to a relative of Project SWORD toys, the Hoover Space Glider.
Auctioned on the net in France in 2001 along with a Tomy Space Climbing Mobile, its one of the few instances of a SWORD-like toy online that I can find from the early Noughties.
The Hoover box is also one of the few things I would love in my collection and the two sold for 39 euros!
Anyone got the Hoover Space Glider box?
Ive got the Tomy Moon Climber!
ReplyDeleteIs it a good climber bill? Eight wheels looks powerful.
DeleteSome Hoover Gliders were auctioned on eBay back in 2008 by the same seller. I recall there having been three examples on offer, back-to-back. That's when I got mine too.
ReplyDeleteWow! so he sold 4 in total then over the decade Arto. Is it a nice box?
DeleteWell... it's different from anything else, a window box with its matching orange planets and all-silvery background. An odd one out really.
