Alright, let’s talk about these WWE Superstars figures wave 5, you know, the little wrestling guys my grandson’s always yappin’ about. I don’t get it, all that gruntin’ and spandex, but he loves ’em, so here we are.
First off, where do you even find these things? Seems like a wild goose chase half the time. My grandson, he tells me, “Go to eBay, Grandma!” Okay, so I go to this eBay place on the computer, and it’s like a whole town exploded in there. So many little plastic men, all lookin’ the same to me. But he says wave 5 is special, somethin’ about the way they’re built or somethin’. They got “retro style” he says, like the ones from back when I was young, only I don’t remember no fellas lookin’ like that runnin’ around my town.
Then he’s yellin’ about Walmart. Says they got some special ones, a fella named Ric Flair, all fancy-lookin’ with a shiny robe. Exclusive, he calls it. Like it’s the only one in the whole darn world. I tell ya, these stores, they know how to get ya. Make somethin’ sound special, charge ya an arm and a leg for it.
- eBay: He says it’s got a “wide range” of these things. Sounds like a big ol’ pile to me. And somethin’ about “unbeatable prices.” Don’t believe that for a second. Nothin’s unbeatable, not even my old rooster when he sees a worm.
- Walmart: They got this Ric Flair fella, but it’s “Walmart Exclusive.” Means you gotta go there, I guess. And they probably charge ya extra just ’cause they can.
- Other places?: I dunno, he keeps mumblin’ about other stores, but I can’t keep up. Too many names, too many places. Just stick to Walmart and that eBay thing, I say. That’s enough trouble for one day.
Now, about the figures themselves. They’re about this tall, my grandson says, holdin’ up his hand. “5.5 inches” he says, like I’m supposed to know what that means. All I see is little plastic men with big muscles and funny clothes. They got different colors, different faces, but they all look like they’re ready to fight. My grandson, he knows all their names, tells me their stories like they’re real people. John Cena this, Jey Uso that. He even wants a hoodie with that Jey Uso fella on it. Kids these days, I tell ya.
And the prices? Don’t even get me started. $57.99 for a hat? $18.90 for a shirt? Back in my day, you could buy a whole chicken for that much! But he says some of them got “free shipping,” so I guess that’s somethin’. Still seems like a lot of money for a little piece of plastic.
So, if you’re lookin’ for these WWE Superstars figures wave 5, good luck to ya. You’ll need it. Between the fancy names, the “exclusives,” and the prices, it’s enough to make your head spin. Just remember what I said: eBay, Walmart, and hold onto your wallet. These little plastic men ain’t cheap. And honestly, I still don’t understand why anyone would want ‘em. But if it makes my grandson happy, I guess it can’t be all bad. Just try not to step on ‘em, those little fellas hurt like the dickens!
And one last thing, if you do find that Ric Flair fella, tell him to pull up his pants. Nobody wants to see that.
Now, I’m gonna go make some biscuits. At least I understand those.
