By all accounts, this looks to be a simple re-package of the Nerf Luke Skywalker Bladebuilders Lightsaber that hit stores on Force Friday (yes, there was product released that day) but now with Rey taking front and center on the card art – as she should.
Thanks to @thisginger_kt on Twitter for the heads up.
Also available today is the Disney Infinity Kylo Ren (Light FX) figure. It is available where Disney Infinity 3.0 figures are sold.
