In North America, and in Europe, Battle Beasts were produced in the usual 2-Pack form. This continued until Series 3, in which they only came in 8-Packs. Individual Battle Beasts were sold through playsets, chariots and even the bandolier. The Series 3 packs are quite tough, while 2nd series and 1st series 2-Packs appear often.

2-Packs
The 2-Packs were first produced without saying "Series 1" in a banner above the bubble. When the series became popular, Hasbro produced the "Series 1" banner above the bubble. They continued this through Series 2 as well.
Series 2 also had a promotion going on. The promotion was to find the special Sunburst figure! A new banner was placed on the side of the card. I don't think any 1st Series cards advertised the Sunburst offer. I really wish they stated the odds of finding one. So far only one collector I know owns one!

8-Packs
The 8-Pack was only offered for Series 3 Battle Beasts. 3 Different 8-Packs were produced, each containing different Battle Beasts. The Sunburst offer continued through to Series 3.

Bandolier
The Bandolier contained a random 1st series Battle Beast. The figure sometime would carry a color variation. Decent artwork, and doesn't that kid remind you of Damien from the Omen?

Shadow Warriors
The Shadow Warriors were Laserbeasts. In the 2-Pack form, only #77-#88 were produced. The packages had new artwork and pictures. These are very tough and saw only a limited release. Pictured are American and Canadian.

Shadow Warriors / Battle Charger
The Shadow Warriors with Battle Chargers saw a even more limited release than the Shadow Warriors 2-Packs. Only a handful have been found. It is estimated that Laserbeasts #89, #95, #97, and #98 (possibly #100) were produced. They came with a new colored charger (compared to Japanese ones). The best part is that these Beasts had their shields with their exact design matching the Beast. These were never produced in Japan.
