Question "Red Eye Sleep Kit" question

Has anyone seen or purchased this item?
From the VA web site:
We now offer an upgraded "Red Eye Sleep Kit" for sale onboard that offer our signature red fleece blanket along with a comfy neck pillow, sleep mask and earplugs

I fly a lot, but a newby to VA. Is this a kit that you can use on other flights? Do you get to keep the blanket and neck pillow? Are the items of decent reusable quality? Sorry this may seem like a dumb question.

I assume they are the same blanket/pillow that you get in VX F (that are comparable to international transpac/TATL items). If so, you should be able to get quite a bit of reuse out of them.

Do you know how much they are offered for? I'd consider buying the kit at a reasonable price (I currently have my own adhoc kit for long flights). Do you have a link that you can post?

I will take a photo of it next week and post here. I believe it's nicer than what they give you in F. I can't recall the price off hand, but I'll let you know.

On my flight yesterday (first one ever on VA), according to the Red system it was $9.99 plus applicable sales tax.
I may just buy one on the way home Thursday to check it out.

That isn't too bad. $9.99 is cheaper than a lot of neck pillows. If you pick one up, please let us know what it is like?

I'll buy one on tomorrow's flight and will try to post pictures (or at least a detailed description).

I bought the kit yesterday. If anyone knows a way to post pictures here I'll attempt it, but I just don't know how. Copy and paste doesn't work.

The kit comes in a red fleece tube with a drawstring closeure that has the Virgin America logo embroidered on it. Its about 14" long by about 6" wide. Inside is a very thin fleece red blanket about 3ft by 5ft. Also inside is a plastic bag holding the black inflatable neck pillow, eyeshades and earplugs. The cost was $9.99 which did include taxes.
