Couldn't find anything about the actual rarity of the Palitoy version of the Boba Fett figure.  Looks like it was released mainly in England, though.  I'm sure it's more rare in the states, than overseas.  I did find this really neat site that lists pretty much all the Fett figures released from that era.

The list is pretty thorough and they have some very nice pics (something for the bounty page?).  There's several different Palitoy variations of the card, mainly on the back.  There's also a "non-painted" leg tools variant of the Palitoy Boba Fett figures that sell for pretty steep on eBay and eBay.UK. 

While doing a search around for it, I found an article that seemed like it might be helpful, but the link no longer exists or the source webpage.  It's the first one on the search list.

Oh, I did, however, find this neat little Palitoys advert...

Hope this helps out somewhat.

Actually got version 3.0.11, so maybe that's what it is.  I'll have to update it tomorrow and see if that fixes it.  No biggie.

I haven't been able to get it to work on Firefox.  It just comes up as a big white screen.  Although, it works fine on IE.

I like that they actually had Mandalorian font in the background screen when Viszla was talking with Dooku. 

Also, when the one Death Watch, who jumped from the balcony, was dying, they actually had him speaking in Mando'a.  He even uses the phrase "Darasuum Kote," which is Mando'a for "Eternal Glory," made popular in the song from the Republic Commando games.

Also, a "Duchess of Mandalore?"  Really?  Are you serious?

I know they're saying the planet isn't Mandalore and that it's actually a planet in the Mandalore system called Kalevala, but that is never referenced in the episode at all.  But, Concordia actually is supposed to be a moon of the planet Mandalore, so which is it, Mandalore or Kalevala?

So, was the moon's name that the Death Watch was based on, "Concordia," supposed to be an homage to Concord Dawn?  Jango Fett's homeworld and also located in the Mandalore system

And where were the rangefinders on the Mandalorian helmets?  It's not like they couldn't draw them on there.  Captain Rex's rangefinder is based off of Mandalorian helmet designs.  Oh well.

Did you notice the Mandalorian writing on the computer screen in the background?  Very nice touch.  They have Previszla written wrong on the site, though.  It's supposed to be Pre Viszla.  "Pre" is supposed to be like a title or something.

Possibly related to Tor Viszla?  Most likely, I would think.  Maybe took over Death Watch after Jango killed Tor?

It'd make sense to me that some of the Death Watch would still be around.  I mean, they set up the True Mandalorian army, under Mandalore Jango Fett to be wiped out by Dooku's Jedi.  Once Jango escaped from slavery, he took revenge and killed Tor Viszla and his band.  But, not all the Mandalorian warriors were killed at that battle.  Remember that Walon Vau said that he felt like he let Jango down because he wasn't there at the Battle of Galidraan (did I spell that right?).  And there were enough Mando's around to help Jango train the Commando's.  And it says that he actually chose some former Death Watch to help train the Commando's, abeit, probably not the rabid Death Watch soldiers.  Dred Priest and Isabet Rau were supposed to be former Death Watch and I get the impression there were a few more on the Kaminoans payroll, that Jango kept reigned in.  So, the Death Watch part doesn't really bother me so much as Obi-Wan's royal "girlfriend" that's in this episode, who happens to have ties to the Mandalore people.  But, like I said I'm not going to spoil it here.  I can wait for a few days until it comes out.  When you see it, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about and you'll be like......WHAT.......THE........FRAK?........

......really?..........really?...........I mean, really?............

P.S.--.....Darth Flannel......that's a good one, I've never heard that before.  I'll have to remember that.

It's a Paar's ichthyodont

I never realized before that the cartoon actually had a name.

Looks like there is going to be a Force Unleashed 2.
I'm wondering how they're going to explain him still being alive, unless this is a prequel to the first game or something.

Also, moving this to another forum, since this isn't about Film or TV.

Cool find.

I only got to go to the first one, while I was stationed in Wyoming at the time.  It was pretty cool, but not near as much people that it draws now.  I just remember it came out around the same time Phantom Menace was around, so there was Darth Maul stuff for sale everywhere.

Too bad I'll be at Osan Air Base, South Korea during this one, or I'd try to hit it up.  Been wanting to go to one for a while, but just been too busy with work.  Oh well.

I don't get the attraction, either, although the Hoodie was pretty cool.  He put out one t-shirt that i really liked, but when I got it, I was kind of disappointed because what looked like white spots on the websites promo pic of the shirt were actually gold foil.  Looks way too gay for me.  Too much bling on it.  Kind of tacky.  Plus, the material on the t-shirts are really thin and run smaller that what the actual size says it is, so you have to get a size or two bigger just so it'll fit after it inevitably shrinks a little.
