If you are into cushions then this last prize will be suitable for you! Or if the board has great prizes left and tickets within your buyout range, then you can buyout to obtain this as well! The star toast cushion with Kirby on the set is a vintage Kirby Cushion design, huggable and good for display, so no complains! You can look for a 7- buyout or 13- with at least one top prizes!
