I'll break it down one by one in a separate blog on where/how I hunt for them, here's the summary:

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  
4. Rebels Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter RM99
5. The Force Awaken Nien Nunb RM30

All in MISB conditions!

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.
