I would buy a Bastion Booger Mattel in a heartbeat. He could come with a cheeseburger and turkey leg for accessories. I have the Jakks Booger but would LOVE to see Mattel make him haha.

I would love an Earthquake flashback figure! A Natural Disasters 2-pack would be sick too.

I used to play with my Hasbros when I was a little kid. I would sometimes stage matches with a friend of mine who had a couple rings and a huge Hasbro collection. I stopped playing with them when I was about 12 or 13 and have since collected them and kept them on shelves or MOC for display.

Enjoy the CS 10 Sabu. I own it myself and it is one of my favorite Jakks figures.

I find things like Elite 4, Elite 5, and basics all the way back from from mid-2010 at some stores. Heck I still see some Legends 1 Dustys and Slaughters sitting around (I already have them though). I finally bit the bullet and bought an Elite 4 Finlay at TRU a few weeks ago. I skipped it first time around and there have been a couple of them sitting on the pegs forever, so I wanted to buy him partly because I needed a Finlay in my collection but also because I was tired of seeing him every time I went there lol. I also pulled the trigger this week on a Basic 9 Natalya that had been collecting dust at a local Walmart. I don't collect divas but thought she would look good with my Elite HD figs.

Apocalypse, I concur with your assessment of the head scan and it looks even better in person! I know you will like it. I almost want to throw an extra head on a DM 5 or something because I like it that much. Would he look a little old? Maybe. But it could be a pretty damn good representation of a late 90s WCW Hitman.

I added a few pics on here of Bret and Cole on the initial/top post if anyone is interested. All in all, it took about 45 seconds to put Cole together. I could not believe how easy the assembly was, and I just love the legs. It seems like the articulation is smoother and better on my Cole than my other figures.

I am predominantly a loose collector. I don't ever play with them or animate but I do display them. Currently, they are all stored away until my spare room opens up this summer. I also have about 30 or so Jakks/Mattel figures MOC. I would have more MOC but I don't want to take up too much space. I tend to keep all exclusives and figures I have doubles of that I just love like DM 5 Bret, DM 1 Macho, DM 3 Dragon, etc. MOC and display them on the wall. If the packaging is really darn cool I may keep it MOC too. For instance, I am debating whether or not to keep the upcoming RSC exclusive Bret Hart MOC because the packaging just rocks!

PJ, I have been lurking on the boards for 4-5 years and must say that you have helped me on many occasions decide whether to buy a fig or not. We have very similar tastes as far as classic wrestlers. I always look forward to your posts, and I definitely have collector's envy every time you post your entire collection (although mine is fairly substantial as well). I figured as a very small token of thanks I would post a few pics to hopefully answer your question. Enjoy.

Renegade, thanks for the direction to this page. I will try to post on here when I visit stores. I actually have only seen E11 once and luckily grabbed a Punk, but I have not seen the set since anywhere in the city. Also, I am on the lookout for E13 (just Cody and Edge). I have yet to see it in stores. So if I find the sets I will let you (and other AZ collectors on here) know.

Yoko is a must-have figure for me. I have been pleased with the Flashbacks thus far. He will look great next to the RSC exclusive Hitman. Also, when I see Sin Cara in person I am sure I will be persuaded to buy him as well.

That is lame. I could see this being a problem with Ziggler since he comes with the WHC belt. Of course, I am still waiting on Elite 13 to hit a store out here. I had the same thing happen a while back to me with Elite 12 Daniel Bryan except just the belt was removed. My girl bought it for me and I had to return it a few days later and told the customer service staff about it. Luckily, the K-Mart near me still had 2 or 3 on the shelves (with the belt of course). I wish I could find the jerk who ripped the US belt out so I could slap the sharpshooter on 'em. Anyways, hope you can find a Ziggler soon.

I am glad another collector like myself found one here in AZ! We may need to chat and see if we can help one another out so we are not running around town hunting stuff down blindly. The two I picked up (one yesterday and one today) were in Glendale and those were the only ones there, but they did have D-Bry, Trips, and Cena. Glad to see someone else from AZ collects; luckily it doesn't seem like we have too many collectors or scalpers so it isn't hard finding stuff when they actually stock new figs.

I am not saying that the figure doesn't look like Bret Hart, It does, but it also looks like Ronnie James Dio. HAHAHA....To me that is not a bad thing because I like Ronnie (RIP). I have a lot of his Sabbath and DIO albums and even saw him in concert a few years back. Maybe I should buy another to make a customized RJD circa the Holy Diver music video . UPDATE: I picked up the other Bret an hour or so ago. I am not sure if I want keep it yet. I may hold onto it MOC or make another Bret out of it (I actually really like the head scan). Either way, I have no need for the Cole pelvis and legs. Thanks for the tutorial on how to post pics...I will try again later. Enjoy St. Patrick's Day and March Madness (I know I will)!

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.

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...
