But flexforce are loose basically so unless the belt is inside the package anyone could take it. But if its just a generic flexforce belt not a superstar specific number specific one then its not that special. Until i see pics, gonna have to be skeptical. was thinking this myself...unless they modified the packaging to have a form-fitting piece of plastic over the belt and around the waist and attached into the cardboard to keep it in place...but then that might screw with being able to test the flexforce action in the store...hmmmm.... while no pics,or other sightings of these does throw up red flags,i wanna believe edgefan is telling the truth,just for the simple fact if this was all a hoax he'll be ostracized by the WFT community for doing so,ESPECIALLY if he sent members on a wild-goose chase,as several (including myself) are now actively hunting these...

Howdy partners! Maybe I can help shed a little light on these. I saw a few of these Flex Force figs with belt at the local Fred Meyer. Please pardon the pics; they came from my cell phone camera. This first one is Matt Hardy with the belt. They appear to be the same mold as the 1/1000 belts, however cast in silver rather than gold. They also say "Flex Force Commemorative Belt" or something along those lines. There is no mention of the wrestler's name or any kind of numbering (like the 1/1000 belts). As you can see with the CM Punk, there is a special tag on the packaging, showing you the belt is included. It isn't inside of any kind of plastic bubble, however I believe it was fastened by strips of hard plastic, so you can feel the belt. A close-up of the CM Punk w/belt. They had belts for Matt Hardy, CM Punk, John Cena and the Undertaker, but NOT for Shawn Michaels. Anyway, hopefully this will help some of you out. Happy hunting!!

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).

YES! Not only do I really like the Flex Force line and this is an extra bonus! Can't wait to get the CM Punk. If anyone comes across one, please let me know!

Although I've been told that they don't always carry the same merchandise.

Fred Myer is owned by Kroger Co. I know some of the larger Krogers have a toy section, so that may be another place to look. This FF series seem to targeted to Grocery store chains, so in the great Northeast, one might want to check Stop & Shop or maybe Shaws. I know of one Stop & Shop that has a rather large toy section, I'll check it later this week.

One around here has a decent toy section.
