So I got my warrior disciple this last week but I noticed something, the blade wobbles a bit even when Im not swinging it around, it hasn't fallen out or anything and is secure, I'm just curious if this is a common occurrence or just me

Curious so did mine. Not ideal but 2 wraps of scotch tape .5" from the blade base and no more wobble! I'm ok with that.

I had the same issue and did the tape thing but I found if you snug it up then give it a half turn more it stops the wiggle

After the retention screw has hit the blade give it another turn until it you can't turn the screw any more. I was leery of letting the screw dig deep but it's nothing to worry about. Won't hurt the blade or the hilt.

Yup, you can crank it pretty well, but I would do it a half turn at a time until the wobble stops. Would not want to strip the retention screw.
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

Well mine wobbled regardless of how sung the screw was. To tight I thought and wiggle persisted. A little tape did the trick and screw didn't need to be over tightened. ;)
