WAL-MART EXCLUSIVE 2007
Father's Day is a primarily secular holiday inaugurated in the early 20th century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and parenting by males and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father's Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift giving to fathers and family-oriented activities.

Hasbro decided to honor the fathers out there in the galaxy with an exclusive card and gift pack only found at Wal-Mart stores. This pack comes with a Father’s Day card with envelope, two figures Darth Vader (father) and Luke Skywalker (son), and a snazzy box that they come in to give to your dad on Father’s Day.

Darth Vader is a repack of Darth Vader (Throne Room Duel) with removable helmet and button for lightsaber swinging action.

Luke Skywalker is a figure made from the body of Luke Skywalker (Bespin Duel) with a button on his back for lightsaber swinging action and the head of Luke Skywalker (Jabba's Palace).

The package is nice. You can zip open the top to remove the enclosed card and remove that part of the package. Then the flap on the box folds over and the figures that are included are not gift-wrapped. Just sign the card and attach in to the box and it is ready to give any father (even if he is the Dark Lord of the Sith) on Father’s Day.

it is nice that both father and son can come together on this day and be together until they both take out the lightsabers and duel.
