HOOVER SPACE GLIDER AUCTIONED IN 2001

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?

    1. Is it a good climber bill? Eight wheels looks powerful.

  2. Some 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.

    2. Well... it's different from anything else, a window box with its matching orange planets and all-silvery background. An odd one out really.
