The on,y strip I can image him talking about is the thumb grip strip on the Return of the Jedi thermal detonator. However if that is the case, it looks nothing like it.
Original TD activator strip was tank tread from a 1/48 fuman Panther G. Here is a picture of mine. Not a match to the tread on the alien box. Good observation by Mugatu though, seem to be close to the same color.
ah. twas a knee jerk reaction to my memory of this picture....Thank you for the original treads... I was just having a six degrees of property masters separation on this one photo credit to Troopermaster on the Whitearmor forum
