One Star Wars Discovery, One Wave Completed

I keep a copy of the Star Wars Super Collector's Wish Book close at hand when surfing eBay, along with a copy of the Super Collector's Database. Between the two I'm able to determine when I come across something that had escaped my interest. In this case it's a 4-pack of mechanical pencils manufactured for Animations. School and office supplies come and go so quickly at retail that they're often missed. Since they're 'useful' items, they don't usually show up on the collecting radar or end up on auction sites. Sometimes you just get lucky.
The same Canadian eBay seller who provided me with most of wave 1 and several Canadian Legends figures came through for me with the final figure I was missing from Wave 1 - the Kashyyyk Trooper. With that goal behind me, it's time to watch and see if the the Force Unleashed figures will be receiving a special Canadian treatment, or of this pretty much wraps up the line with the exclusive Darth Vader concept cardbacks.
