"Eyeing" means to watch closely and to be interested in something. Buttercup is saying that she has been interested in buying the punching bag for a while. Ex: I've been eyeing that dress in the shop window. Maybe I should buy it. Ex: There's a boat I've been eyeing that someone abandoned on the docks. I'm going to see if I can fix it up!
