Hi.  I found this at a flea market today:

http://www.lightlink.com/demlow/pics/weird_lego.jpg

It's a disc maybe 6-8" in diameter made of heavy canvas.  The border is also
quite heavy; it has something sewn into it (like a heavy cord or flexible wire)
to weight it down, it seems.  My wife decided it could be used as a frisbee, and
it does in fact fly quite nicely.  So, two questions:  can anybody confirm what
this thing is, and when is it from?  The printing looks like Blacktron (I?).  I
couldn't match it with a set, but the parts used to build the model look like
they could have come from the 6894 Invader.

This is a Blacktron access key decoder disc. If you hold it under a piece of red or blue cellophane, it displays your social security number or student ID. You may already have been compromised. (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.space)

(...) It is a frisbee, I had a Yamaha one when I was a kid. The idea is it collapses if it hits you so it does not hurt like a plastic disk. Jude (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.space)
