I think its rarity is simply based on the fact that this blue version was released close to TRU's demise, thus making it difficult to get your hands on one. There is, admittedly some misinformation about things like this online, on this wiki, because things are either undocumented or have no sources to back things up (ie: "I saw X at Y store, I confirm this by my own eyes") - hence why we push for citations and sources for things.

That being said, I think the non-TRU blue one may be a little more rare than the other kinds, since it was intended as a TRU exclusive, and no other retail store snapped up the exclusivity deal for Alien Menace... but that's just my personal concept on the matter.
