Many people criticized the father for pampering his son too much, but there were opinions that this was a “trick” to bypass his wife’s eyes and serve her husband’s passion for Ultraman.
Mr. Fan Lei, confessed in a quick interview that he spent “a fair amount” of money just to buy Ultraman cards. But bought it for his son or bought it for his father, he did not dare to disclose it.
In China, the animated movie Ultraman is almost a monument in every child’s childhood. They eat and sleep with movies and collect toys in a crazy way. Collecting cards – cards featuring Ultraman characters are their passion.
However, passion is still passion, because the price of each set of 5 Ultraman cards ranges from 2 yuan to more than 10,000 yuan, a large amount for children. The rarer the card, the higher the price, the more sought after.
Gradually formed many “classes” of Ultraman card players.
Children, who simply want to collect for fun, will choose cheap, easily accessible cards, etc. But true “collectors” do not. They don’t simply collect because of their intense passion for Ultraman since childhood, but also because of their passion for the feeling of being collected, explored and discovered, the feeling of hunting for rare cards makes them excited.
That’s why many people spend more than 100,000 yuan on Ultraman cards. If any giant dares to spend more, about 1 million yuan (about 150,000 USD) will immediately be considered the “King of Collectors” in the world of cards.
Fan Lei, the father at the beginning of the article is also an Ultraman fan since childhood. He also owns an album dedicated to storing the luxury cards he collects. The Ultraman cards are printed with full information, date of birth, height, weight, strength index, … of the characters in the film.
Fan Lei arranged them carefully in order.
After summarizing, Fan suddenly realized that he had become the “King of Collectors” from time to time, the total amount spent on the Ultraman deck of cards has reached more than 300,000 USD, or nearly 1 billion VND. Explaining this amount, Fan Leii said:
“No, I bought them for my son.”
This story quickly went viral on Chinese social media.
Some opinions support Fan, saying that following your passion must be accepted, there is nothing to regret here. However, there are people who think that pampering children and buying them such expensive items is not good.
Some people even suspect that this father used the excuse of buying for his children to bypass his wife:
“If his wife knew that the card was worth 300,000 USD, she would have let her sleep on the street.”
“Your son is only a few months old, but he already has a passion for Ultraman, right???”
“There are no boys here.”
