Hey everyone! I have been lurking on this site for probably 4 years and never felt the absolute need to post I guess. I check the forum 3-4 times a week at least and have been a long time collector since the Hasbro days (I'm turning 28 soon). I probably have between 300-400 figures Jakks CS and Mattel elites and legends mostly. Well, anyways, I thought this would be the right moment to finally make my debut (I wanted to have a Y2J-like first appearance on here haha). 3....2.....1....PYRO BOPPV Bret Hart has hit the states! I have noticed the past few days that it has hit Canada but I did not see a post from any of us Americans that have found the Hitman. Well I strolled into TRU last night after work looking for either Royal Rumble Heritage or Elite 13 (which surprisingly has not really hit at all out here in Arizona) and much to my surprise I found what looks like a fresh case of BOPPV with two Hitman figs staring right at me! I grabbed them both, analyzed which one looked better to me (I am mostly a loose collector minus exclusives, duplicates of my favorites etc.) I left the other one because I don't really sell on ebay and felt like maybe someone else would stop by last night and find themselves as thrilled as me! I may stop by later today and pick up the other one if it's still there. Not only do I get to complete my Michael Cole but I get a modern-day figure of my all-time favorite wrestler, "The Excellence of Execution"....Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Anyways, so be on the lookout for BOPPV Hart, especially if you live out west like I do. Below is a link to my photobucket with pictures of my Cole and Hart with my receipt from last night for proof. I am brand new so I do not know how to put these on here at the moment. If anyone wants to post them on here or explain to me how to do it please do. Also, if there are any picture requests with the Cole specifically let me know. I took a few shots of his legs and his articulation is amazing. Enjoy. EDIT: I know how to post pics now thanks to a few of you nice fellas...      |

Best. First. Post. Ever. You have given me hope to resume my quest for the fated Bret Hart. Great find. Oh, and if wouldn't mind picking that other one up for me, I'll be your best friend.

FINALLY! I've been eagerly anticipating for this to be released. I want it more for the Bret than the Cole pieces, but it's still a great part of the figure overall. I have all of Bret's figures so far (with the RSC on pre-order), so this is a big deal for me. Thanks for informing us.

to post pics, just use the URL and put it between this tag [img.][/img.] you have to remove the dots.
I wish those were available in Germany at a fair price and not like 65€ which is 100$+

Awsome find... and Welcome to WF.
I know how you feel about having modern day figs of Old wrestlers. I like to display my WWE figs in the ESR and my Legends in my Jakks Classic RSR (I have another ERS that is currently in the process of becoming a Classic ring BTW) and I think it is neat to see the same Superstar in each ring.
+1 for you.

Good, Bret BOPPV has been the most hyped Mattel item since the Nexus 2 packs. Sadly for the Nexus two packs, after they hit the stores, discussion of them just suddenly dropped. Hope that doesn't happen w/Bret. But then again it's Bret and not Darren Young and Michael Tarver.

Thanks. I was extremely surprised to find Bret yesterday. It seems like the TRU's and Walmart's around here have not put out any new WWE Mattel product in a long time. Also, I tried to no avail to post the pics individually like YMH said to by using the URL and putting it between this tag [img.][/img.] and then removing the periods. I feel a little embarrassed not knowing how to do this. If anyone has any more advice on how to put pics into a post or just wants to ridicule me for being a newbie jackass feel free  Sorry about the picture quality. I may go pick up the other Bret soon if it is still there to possibly thwart a Chumlee from getting it. I think you guys will really like the head scan on the Bret. I think it is great and my pics don't really do it justice. Also, the leg articulation on the Michael Cole kicks ass. I could see some of you wanting the legs and pelvis to make customs with because it is that cool. |

I am not saying that the figure doesn't look like Bret Hart, It does, but it also looks like Ronnie James Dio.

Yeah Bret has been out. Another member posted about it weeks ago and showed a pic of him standing in his Ring but then they kicked him cause of it i guess but Bret's been around a few weeks now in the states. Great to see others are finding him to, maybe i can have some luck myself and get one soon.

Great to see others are finding him to, maybe i can have some luck myself and get one soon. The first legit Bret BOPPV showed up around last week on eBay, found in Canada. And this one here is one of the first, if not the first, to post about legitimately finding BOPPV Bret in the U.S. Kollecting King and the other one who posted their loose Brets were fake. Gotta love when someone tries to give exciting news to the board and we always get that one poster who says something like "yeah that's old news" or "yeah Bret's been out already". Glad you found it hartfoundation. |

Back on topic, congrats on finding Bret! Hope he shows up in my area soon. |

i was pretty excited for this figure when i first saw the proto but the more i see it now, the less i like it. i'll still pick it up for a raven custom but i'll stick with DM 5 Bret Hart as far as my collection goes.
