Okay I am now crazy jealous of you. I saw those pencils at a Big Lots once when I was younger but I didn't get them and I haven't seen them since.
Also I've got that bank too somewhere.

Also, that Sonic coushin you have with SONIC and his face on, did you get that off of eBay or was the an official licensed product?

I did get it from Ebay. It was manufactured by Toy Network and is a registered Sega product.
The pencils, gel pens and SA figures I purchased together at Walmart in 2000 and was told they wouldn't last long in stock.

Huh. I picked myself up a cushion exactly like that, off of eBay as well. I initially paid probably £10~12 for it, including postage and was sent Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles cosplay hats instead. I told the seller this and she then told me to keep the hats, and sent me the Sonic Cushion and possibly a Knuckles Cushion too (They're at my other house so I can't remember).
The odd thing regarding this was I could have sworn they were sold as 'home-made' or what not. I can't exactly remember the motive behind myself buying them either when I was younger...
EDIT:
Adding to the subject, I'm currently having a little look on eBay and found this:
Classic Sonic Figure

And I'm willing to bet that's the method used when moving between zones on Generations.

Every single GameStop should've gotten them in last week. If they didn't sell out already, maybe they're hiding in the back.

I did a look around today, and I saw a few in Target. If you can find one near you that would be a pretty good place to look. Not to mention the 5 inch is only ten dollars, AKA the same price as the 3 inch figures are everywhere else. (For anyone wondering, the 3 inch figures are only 6-7 dollars there, Target seems to be the best place to go to snap all of these up if you're in the States.)
Oddly enough, every other place I hit up (two GameStops in a mall, one near the Target, and a Toys R Us) didn't have any of the 20th Anniversary figures. And of course, Target, being the only place I saw that had any figures, had every Wave 1 Toy except the 3 inch C. Sonic. The hunt continues!

Is there a thread for buying/selling/trading on this forum? I've looked but I'm not sure if I just missed it or if there just isn't one.
I've owned some Sonic merchandise over the years, focusing mainly on plushies and odd-ball items. My favorite item is this animation cel from the Saturday morning cartoon. It is from an alternative intro that was storyboarded and even animated but ultimately abandoned. The most noticeable differences are the shading details and Sonic's position on the title. Not sure why exactly they didn't go with this but perhaps the Sonic featured here did not match closely enough the character design featured in the series. Well, whatever the reason, the alternative intro is pretty rare as a result. I think most people believe it to be fake, since it wasn't officially used in the final product.
I also have a normal Chao plush and was wondering if anyone knew where to find the other chaos plushies (NiGHTS, Angel, etc)
As I mentioned before, I'm not sure where a thread is located on this forum that is dedicated to sales. I will mention here, hopefully without violating any rules, that I am selling a few Sonic items on eBay. I'd love for these items to go to hardcore Sonic fans out there, then I would feel like they were loved and cared for (they sound like pets, hehe) Besides a Rouge the Bat plush, I also have an Espio the Chameleon plush from 1996. Looking at his original costume and coloring, I much prefer the old Espio. The modern Espio has too much "badattitude" for my taste and did they make him pink?! I look at the new Espio figure and art and wonder if I'm color blind. The original was a particular shade of purple but newer and newer renditions of him seem to gravitate towards pink. Very weird. I also prefer his original eyes. The old Espio had what looked like spiral shaped black eyes. Now he has the standardized eye with yellowish iris. Kind of uninspired and boring, really. The spiral eyes were creative and striking.
