Welcome
You can check out the link below:

It has a very complete and consise photo of all the various lines of Star Wars.
As for those acrylic cases, I am not sure of any local supplier but I think there are shops that make them when you provide them dimensions that you want.
Actually, a normal plastic protector or more popularly known as Starcase or Protech Protector is good enough to protect a average carded figure. Unless you are buying those vintage figures which fetch a very high value eg ($300+), then I would suggest you get acrylic cases.
An example of Starcase would be:

I get my Star Wars protector cases from Simply Toys at Suntec City. Not for every figure, just those rarer ones
Like I said, there is too much knowledge in this field to sufficiently explain in a forum post so if you encounter any problem, just leave a message here and I'm sure someone will help you along. Have fun

Yes, they order from the starwars website so its those official one with SW logo. I cant remember how much they went for. Just check with the counter stuff. The last time they put a carton behind the counter.

Thank you dr34m for the knowledge shared
. I've went to the simply toys at suntec. There have no stock on the acrylic cases. Sad to say my experience there was a put off.. maybe i came on a bad day. Oh well. Thanks all for reading.
