Oddly enough the CM Punk Flex Force in yellow is my favorite of the entire Mattel line so far...I really want to find the one with the belt, lol.

Ah good call on the Stop and Shop! I will check one out later...even Shop Rite may have these. One around here has a decent toy section. I think Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens are all fair game at this point. Historically, Mattel seems to have good distribution these drug chains. They always have Barbies and such.

Thanks for the pics. what are they going for? You betcha! At Fred Meyer (a Northwestern U.S.-based department store chain), they were the same price as regular Flex Force ($10.99). were you as surprised as I was when you noticed Freddies had WWE Mattel? I just noticed on Friday. And of all things they had Basic 2!

Wow so they do come with belts. Interesting even if they arent as good as the 1/1000s. Id buy a flexforce if they came with a belt, shame they arent available here though. I wonder how many belts there are.

Even in action figure form, Shawn Michaels doesn't get a belt.

the next question from me then:
we need someone to buy 1 and open it,to see the construction of the belts...are they still pleather? do they still have the die-cast plates,or are they plastic? and,lastly,how many of these will be intact,as toy scalpers/thieves from all over discover these and start shoplifting the belts?

Cool. Sorry to the thread creator for being sceptical but I was like okay whatever. Turns out they really are true!
If I see one I might pick it up even thought it is not really rare like the 1/1000s.

Yeah sorry to doubt you edgefan just when signficant things like this pop up you have to remain a bit skpetical because of a small amount of people who sadly get enjoyment out of trying to fool others. Its certainly an interesting addition to the flex force line. Without the name and exact numbering or even the switch to silver, these belts arent as special as the 1/1000s but its a cool promotion and definitely gives a reason to buy flexforce. AS mikey said, now it will be time to see how similar they are to the 1000s in terms of being made of metal and such.

thanks zincdust for proving i was telling the truth +1 for you rey comes with one too You betcha! I'm always happy to help. And thank YOU! Without your initial reports, no one might have noticed these. However, I'm still not interested in Flex Force. And I don't doubt that Rey had one as well; they just didn't have any of him at the store I visited. I wonder which others do or do not have it?

RA4 was the last classic series I remember my Fred Meyer carrying. So I never even THOUGHT about looking there. I just happened by them looking for a board game.
