Ravensburger is rolling out a new entry point for Disney Lorcana collectors with the Collection Starter Set: Rapunzel Edition, a themed bundle built around one of the game's most popular Disney princess characters.
Starter and collection bundles like this one are aimed squarely at both newer players looking for an easy way in and existing collectors chasing themed exclusive promo cards, so it is worth breaking down exactly what is inside before deciding whether to grab one.
Here is what has been confirmed about the set's contents, pricing, and release timing.
The set includes four Attack of the Vine booster packs, a Rapunzel-themed binder to store cards, and an exclusive glimmer foil Rapunzel, Ethereal Protector promo card that is not available anywhere else. An Attack of the Vine collector's guide rounds out the physical contents.
That combination of booster packs plus a dedicated storage binder makes this less of a pure gameplay starter deck and more of a themed collection-building bundle, aimed at fans of the character as much as competitive players.
The Collection Starter Set: Rapunzel Edition is priced at $29.99 and is set to release starting September 4, 2026, with pre-orders already live at major retailers including Amazon, Target, and specialty card game shops.
At that price point for four booster packs plus a themed binder and an exclusive promo, the value proposition compares reasonably against buying loose Attack of the Vine packs and a separate binder individually.
The Rapunzel, Ethereal Protector promo card ships in a glimmer foil finish exclusive to this starter set, meaning it will not be available in standard Attack of the Vine booster packs or any other current Lorcana product. That exclusivity is likely to drive demand from collectors focused specifically on Rapunzel-themed cards.
Promo-exclusive cards tied to themed starter sets have historically held collector interest in Lorcana longer than standard set commons, since they are tied to a one-time bundle rather than an ongoing print run. Whether that translates into lasting secondary market value is harder to predict this early, but the pattern has held for similar exclusive promos in past Lorcana bundles.
New players looking for a low-cost way into Lorcana get a legitimate on-ramp here, since four booster packs is enough to start building a working card pool alongside the included collector's guide.
Existing collectors who already have a full Attack of the Vine playset are more likely buying this specifically for the exclusive promo card and the themed binder, rather than for the booster packs themselves.
Ravensburger has released character-themed starter and collection sets before, and the format has generally followed a similar pattern: a handful of booster packs, a themed storage accessory, and one exclusive promo card tied to the featured character. The Rapunzel edition sticks closely to that established formula rather than introducing a new bundle structure.
What differs release to release is mainly which character anchors the set and which specific set of booster packs gets bundled in, so collectors who liked past themed starter sets should find the Rapunzel edition a familiar, low-risk purchase.
Since this starter set ships in its own branded gift-set style box, the display case protector for Lorcana gift set boxes is a strong fit for keeping the packaging itself pristine, which matters if you plan to display the sealed box rather than open it immediately.
Collectors torn between opening the set right away and keeping it sealed for long-term value should consider how replaceable the contents are. The booster packs themselves will remain available separately, but the exclusive promo card and its specific packaging will not, which is a point in favor of protecting the sealed box if display value matters to you.
Players who mainly want to build a deck should lean toward opening the set and getting the cards into play, since a sealed set delivers no gameplay value sitting on a shelf. Collectors chasing the promo card specifically, on the other hand, may prefer displaying it loose in a protective sleeve rather than sealed inside the box, since a graded or protected single card can be appreciated visually in a way a closed box cannot.
It is set to release starting September 4, 2026.
The set is priced at $29.99.
No, the glimmer foil Rapunzel, Ethereal Protector card is exclusive to this starter set.
