Maybe to give the 2 packs more life? They have been bigger names in the line since the switch. I've rarely seen them at retail compared to the days of Battle Packs rotting on shelves so it seems to be working. This is a really good point. I've seen the new two packs in stores...but they don't last.

Yeah, the Battle Packs were due for a refresh. The title plates are a smart addition: bonus value plus incentive to buy the kids' replica belts. I'm curious how this line does when retail gets back to normal, but it seems like a good attempt to capture both kids and collectors with Basic-level figures. (And I'm assuming collectors are at least one target here, because you won't get kids with packs like Bulldog/Boss Man or Trish/Chyna.)

Austin/Mankind pack is pretty cool, but wish the preorders for the Rock n’ Sock pack and/or Elite 87 went up as well. I’d imagine it’s going up soon though.
I can totally see Basic 122 (outside of Priest maybe) warming hard once they eventually hit retail...

man, I want to order Chelsea, but there is nothing else I need, I hate ordering just one thing. Wish Elite 87 or the Rock/Mankind 2 pack went up also. i believe both Big Show and Andrade were scheduled for 122
