Something about this looks so cool.

Worth the resale value.

"Space Hover." That's a much more peaceful-sounding name than the other two releases of this set got. They were called "Cyber Blaster."

Don't...most things 'hover' in space? I mean, it's not much of a trick now is it...Unless it's a typo, and it's actually a "Space Hoover"; in which case, it floats around cleaning the planet...:)

You float in space. To hover, you need a surface that you can throw yourself at and miss.

I thought that was flying? Although, I guess if you can fly, hovering isn’t far behind, given the right amount of thrust.

Oh, I have a few of these. It was a cheap way to get worker droids around the base. 60 bucks new? I should have kept a couple in the box...

That’s a strange looking dinosaur.

I got a few of these on the secondary market a while ago; they’re nice little models that throw up some interesting questions during play.

Not even Space Hover/craft/ just Space Hover. Robots got lazy when they named this one
