This is my adventure, my journey... to get myself the jumbo sonic plush. 
<br>
I wanted one that was at least over 30inches. I needed him. My joy and mental health depended on this big blue fat fuck. I wanted to put my "I heart sonic expo" shirt on him to make him even cuter.
<br><br>
He would hang out in my chair next to my gaming/console/DVD setup, so that when I come home and see him...he's there waiting to hang out with him. My friend sonic is waiting to hang out with me when I come home from work (delusional). 
<br><br><br>
My first failed attempt: After checking ebay first and seeing that the plush I had my eyes on goes for around a delcious $200-$300,

I for some reason thought to check facebook marketplace. 
<br><br><br><br><br>
and by god. there he was.

So close and yet so far for me though...
shortly after I sent a message to the seller asking about him they simply said "sorry I dont have it anymore" and then marked the listing as sold. sigh. clenches fist. you will be mine sonic.

<br><br><br><br>
next attempt...
<br><br> After this I went off to check and scroll mercari/ebay again. Maybe there would be one out there that was simply listed as "big sonic" or "huge sonic plush" that would be the plush I had my eyes on without the huge price tag. Maybe someone would list him without knowing (again. delusional) 
<br>
and then again..there he was. For only $80!?!
<br>
I clicked purchase. He would be mine! The hunt was short but it was over now!
<br> Nay. I'd made an error. The listing was for local pickup only. Though I am quite insane I am not willing to drive over 5 hours just to pick up a big sonic plush. No. That's not who I am.

Another escape. Yet it makes the want more intense. I have GOT to have him.
<br> I leave my shift at work. I'm on the brink of falling apart, my legs are weak. I am ready to give up for the day. I use my small amount of time before falling asleep to look one more time.
<br>
and there he is again...for $90 or best offer.
<br><br> Of course I had to make an offer...and thought my first offer was auto-declined. My second offer was accepted. yatta. He WOULD be mine!
<br> I am now currently waiting for him to come in the mail. 
<br> To be updated when he comes to me.
