Why does it flip upside down when I try and open it.

It's an Australian flyer

What app are you using? My guess is the image was originally upside down and they rotated it but whatever viewer you're using isn't recognizing the rotation message.

Edit: oh what the hell Sync does the same thing when I open it lol

Yep I am using sync.

I had the droid factory. It was my mist disappointing SW toy. The molding was horrible.

I should ask my mom if she had/has any of these. She was a big Star Wars enthusiast back then.

Ask her if she had any cardboard ones.

Cardboard ones?

The toy company didn't expect the success and wasn't ready to produce action figures in time for the holiday. Read this (some nice web 1.0) or there's countless videos on it.

Oh wow, I completely forgot about these. Like most things in my childhood I had hand-me-downs so I only had a few tattered pieces.

Oh yeah, I remember her mentioning those. I'm not sure if she still has any, but she definitely bought some back in the day.

Can you show other page on the right ?

coolteathatisblue@lemmy.cafe · 3 pts · 2y

oh, it is there, UI didn't load. Right click -> open in new tab should work
