January 2021 Haul



Miss out one picture


now is complete.

Here is how much I paid:
  1. Freeco Speeder RM100
  2. AT-AP RM160
  3. Aqua Droid RM45
  4. Nikto Guard RM45
  5. Assault Walker RM48
I really got a good price for the Freeco Speeder and AT-AP (both seal in box) but not for the Assault Walker, there are other sellers selling at better price. Oh well, you win some you loss some.

Anyway, I really want to recommend this seller to all of you, which I met at Carousell:



He give a good price for the stuff that I bought from him. And I will continue to buy from him. He also selling Transformers toys (which I'm not collecting). So do check out his online store.

Separatist Speeder with Geonosian Warrior

Star Wars - Separatist Speeder with Geonosian Warrior
By Hasbro



Date of Purchase: Nov 2020
Original seller price: RM65
Purchase price: RM50

I'm very happy with my purchase, again, I got a good price for it. For this type of vehicles, anything RM50 and below is a great buy. The tag shows that the seller originally bought it at RM60, so when the seller drop the price to RM50, I didn't negotiate for a lower price.


Here's the back of the box. There's some wear and tear at the corner but overall the box is still in a good condition. 


Here's another seller selling at RM75 at Carousell. Now I know this seller very well, have been buying stuff from him more than once and he will never drop his price.

Well, I can't find it in any other online places in Malaysia. So, this is the only one for comparison purposes.

1. The Clone Wars CW09 Mandalorian Police Office RM40
2. Saga Legends SL20 Battle Droid 2-Pack RM40
3. The Clone War Separatist Speeder with Geonosian RM50

Darth Vader - Saga Legend (SL 06)

 

Release Date: August 2010
Purchase Date: October 2020
Original Selling Price: RM42
Purchase Price: RM40

Here's a picture of how it looks like after taking out of the box. There's hidden weapon in the box too.



Now for the price. The only one that I am aware off is back in few months ago selling at RM60 or RM80 (can't really remember). I got this from a Facebook seller who willing to let go at RM40. Good price consider the condition of the box.

Apart from the one that i mentioned, I can't find any other seller selling this. Meaning I can't do a comparison of prices here. And I don't compare to Ebay, prices there are ridiculous. So, having saying this, I think this is really seen in Malaysia and this make the figure valuable.

Here's the review on Youtube.




There are 2 types of SL 06 (I'm hoping to get the another too) that I know off. Refer picture below for the other type. It seems like the cards are the same, only the figures are different.


I saw one seller selling this in Carousell but the posting was 2 years ago. I have contacted the seller but no confirmation that this is still available.

Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter - Rebels Class II



Release Date: 2014
Release Date price in US: US$24.99
Purchase Date: 9 November 2020
Original Selling Price: RM99
Purchase Price: RM99

There are many version of Obi-Wan Jedi Starfighter, I can think of 2 main one (the rest is the re-paint and re-packaging):
  1. The Rebels Class II (there's at least 2-3 different type of packaging)
  2. The Vintage Collection (similar to the 30 anniversary, revenge of the sith and Clone Wars)
For the comparison of Jedi Starfighter, I will leave out the Delta 7 version because it is totally different vehicle. I'll show the Delta 7 at the bottom of this blog. So let's look at 1 and 2

The Rebels version is a smaller version compare to the other version and therefore, the price is cheaper:



Here's the price from Carousell Malaysia:


Average retail price is about RM150, for MISB. So RM135 is consider a good price. Well, unless you are like me, search high and low to get the a very good price, if not go for RM135. Or if you have relative leaving in Singapore then check out their Carosell, they go as low as SGD30 (about RM90). If you add the courier services to Malaysia then is expensive. 

Surprisingly, there are not manly selling in Malaysia.

Now for the other version, I'll just call it the Vintage Collection version. Here's some of the pictures of different versions within this version:


Here's the price from Carousell Malaysia:


I found about 4 sellers. I believe that the one on the bottom right is from this version due to the landing gear (Rebels version don't have a landing gear). For this version, it is much more expensive. BIB is selling around RM200. Of course, this is the better version, if not the price will not be much higher. Watch the video below.

I can't find anyone selling on Facebook for Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter but there is one guy selling Anakin Jedi Starfighter at RM230 (similar to the top left version - if anyone interested). Unfortunately, Singaporean are selling at higher price with few exception, which selling at more or less at same price.

Here's the tricky part. If you come across something like the picture below, is very hard to tell which version it belongs to. The 2 versions look so similar but the value can be far apart. So is very important to ask clearly before purchase.

AT-TE Diorama Part 2 of 3

 The case finally arrived. Huge, heavy and freaking expensive. 

Since the diorama is not complete, I just dump the clones on the area that I want it to be 😆


With that, I decided to continue with my diorama. 

This will be for the landscape. 


Nicely fit


Making the smoke effect.

Apart from the casing, the rest of the materials are cheap stuff. You can either find it on hardware shop or stationary shop. I bought the foam board from Popular book store for less than RM10. They got all size of foam board. Either that or you can find one from trash. Just that you may need to be careful of gems and bacterial.   

Next will be applying it with self-make sculptamold
