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

Kind of funny, I added this minifigure to my collection today.

Love this series

Cool little set, however, it could be improved with a backrest for the pilot.

@Binnekamp, is that you?

The Kabaya version!

Kinda hard to get this in Europe, so one of the few UFO sets I'm missing. Still somehow have 3 copies 6800 (even one sealed), so I don't mind too much :D

What's really odd about this set (and it's other 2 variants) is that the box and instruction don't use the typical green UFO artwork but the older Exploriens one instead (I thin some even have the Exploriens logo on it)!

This set (or more likely the first version 6800) was released much earlier than the rest of the UFO line (around March 1997) alongside 3-4 other impulse sets (6004, 6790, 6400, 1858, despite the box stating a 1996 release in the later case). I assume they hadn't finalized the UFO box design when this was scheduled for packaging... The other releases then just recycled the original boxart.

The minifig - Techdroid I, as the UK catalogue calls him - was special at the time, despite the fact he had no accessories except his simple gun/torch thingy:

6800 was the first official set to contain a blue minifig head - red ones from the other droid were already in a few "Building sets with People" as ornaments (though those were solid stud variants). Prior the only available colors were yellow (obviously), black (ghost and Spyrius), trans-clear (crystal ball, coffee machine...), trans-yellow (street lamps) and white (skeleton and 6554).
Also printed legs were still very rare in 1997 - his ones have the official name "MINI LOWER BODY NO.7", telling how few there were available at the time.

The grey antennas felt somewhat rarish too at the time, so nice having those as well. Oh and there were 2 printed parts from the UFO line as well.

"Space Floater" would have been one of the funniest LEGO set names ever!
