Thanks, so we've established that it's a collapsible frisbee. Now, does anybody
have further information on Lego frisbees? When and how were they issued? (The
flea market I found this one at was in Germany, btw.)
I received another e-mail from somebody not registered with Lugnet who said such
frisbees were popular in the mid-80's, which I guess fits with the time frame of
the Blacktron theme.
