Fans attending SDCC 2017 look like they will be getting another Hasbro Star Wars Black Series exclusive that they weren't expecting. While the Landspeeder and Thrawn have been announced up front, this special two pack has been held back until it leaked via a Far East site earlier today.
The indications are that the two figures - Rey in her Jedi gear, and Luke Skywalker - will be released single carded on Force Friday 2017. The exclusivity of the pack is therefore the 2-pack hinged packaging.
The packaging itself isn't the same as the current phase 3 packaging. While that may be because of the SDCC exclusivity, it might also indicate a packaging change for the Last Jedi figures onwards. The image seems to show a smaller Star Wars logo at the box header, and the character name has changed from red to white.
Since this pack was revealed there has been some updated promotional blurb from Hasbro (see below)
