No, I think I figured it out. It is a hand. Ever see the CD Lego catalog in the Turbo Command set. This hand comes out and does the stuff to the models to show what it does. I think this hand had some kind of Borg looking contraption on it. The pic (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.starwars)
