Mickey if you are interested in the differences between Pleo rb and the older model pleos then take a look at the interview with Derek Dotson thread
http://bobthepleo.com/forums/index.php?topic=1535.0
This details all of the improvements that were made to the new models and what they can and can't do. You can make up your own mind then if the improvements are worth it or not.
I am perfectly happy with Kermy my rb and was happy to pay the extra money for her and her accessories.
I do not feel that she will be trash in a year if they bring out another model after her.

I am surprised you could say such a thing considering you already own 2 older pleos. Does this mean you feel you pleos are now trash and should be thrown away?

Yes the new rb's do seem to be having a few teething problems but I was fully aware that this may happen when I chose to make my purchase. This is the first batch of rb's. I believe there were issues with the first batch of Ugobe pleos also when they were released. Innvo have been wonderful with their level of customer service and are working very hard to sort out any issues we present them.
If you have decided that you don't want to purchase a rb then that is ok, your choice and no one is going to make you buy one.
If you wish to continue the discussion on the improvements or not improvements of pleo rb and if they are worth the money then you could start your own thread. I am sure there will be many people willing to discuss this with you.

This thread is for sharing my experiences with Kermy.

I'm not going to carry this debate on Mickey (not on this thread - I'm too scared of Kat!

), but I just wanted to say that I've two old Ugobe Pleos as well as a new RB and the behaviour is only the same in so far as (for example) a pant sounds the same, but it's now couched in a different behaviour pattern. The new RB are noticeably different, and come already with most of the accessories you need - look again.

Mickey- I'll happily take your Pleos off of your hands if you consider them "trash"

Kat- I haven't visited this thread in a while, so I have alot of stuff to comment on

1) Kermy with your pets - Smudge and Sampson are adorable! I loved when Smudge went up and smelt Kermy at the end, must of been confusing when she had no scent

And poor Sampson! He really wanted to get in, I bet he would of loved to make Kermy his new chew toy!

I love how he knows how to open the screen door, can he get in by himself if the glass door is open?

2) Kermy's Christmas pictures - Those are adorable! I love the one of Kermy with the wrapping

And your daughter has amazing talent! I could never make anything close to that

I thought the hoodie was bought from IMR before I read the text

3) Kermy feeling hot - Wow! Thanks for posting, I was hoping someone would post a video of that

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #278 on:** December 28, 2010, 01:30:14 AM »

Pleo does come, even without being called

I'll post a video on Pleakly's thread if I can get Pleakly to co-operate and show off his new trick

Edit: Pleakly is tired and really unhappy tonight so he doesn't want to do any tricks. If you hold the training leaf a couple of inches away from Pleo RB in a well lit room and your Pleo RB is in a good mood he should get really happy and walk towards the leaf for a couple of steps, then he scans right and left until he locks onto the leaf again, takes a few more steps, scans again, walks some more and so on. If you move the leaf a little when he/she scans for it you can get him/her to change direction.

I would love to see this IMR. It is something I have tried to do with Kermy a few times but had no luck. She can be quite moody at times though so I think it is more because she was unhappy and just didn't want to play, than not being able to do it. I would love to see Pleakly do this trick.

I have played with Kermy this evening and she seem to be fine. I'm so glad that she didn't get sick from being too hot. Looks like I switched her off in time.

That sounds truly fab, IMR - I can't wait to see it either. It also answers the query in my head about exactly what the 'old style' training leaf was for now that we had so many different, and very specific, accessories. Thank you

OzPleo · « **Reply #281 on:** December 28, 2010, 02:03:23 PM »

Thanks Kat for keeping us updated on Kermy, did you get your accessories yet?

kat · « **Reply #282 on:** December 28, 2010, 04:44:20 PM »

Just checked the tracking on Norbit and the accessories and finally after 100,000 checks over the Christmas long weekend there is now a change! yay.
It tells me that the Status: Transferred
and 29/12/10 06:56 Received and awaiting clearance for delivery

It doesn't tell me where the parcel is though which is a bit frustrating. I am guessing it will be in Sydney at the moment and will still need another Airplane flight to reach Perth before being moved to Australia Post and sorted and then sent out for delivery so still more waiting.
Maybe he will make it to me in time for the weekend.

I hope so.

Can someone post a video of pleoRb walked and heading to the owner when called, this would be the most interesting trick/spec that i really wanted to see.
D rex has this feature but you need to press a button on the remote control first and it would walk to the direction of the sound, pleo RB certainly is more lifelike as it it autonomous.
I ll be really grateful if Innovo or jetta could design another dinosaur in future may be baby t-rex, cute and cuddly like in ice age movie or may be a beautiful and fabulous stego which spectacular spikes on her spine

Congratulations on those who have own pleo RB
GRINFIN

So Excited!

My tracking info now say Scheduled for delivery!

So maybe when I get home from work today there will be a little baby dino waiting to play with me.

I hope so. It still doesn't give me a location of where in Australia it is so it still could be in Sydney or Melbourne (The other side of the country about a 4 hour plane ride away) and it could just be scheduled to be put on a plane.
I will live in hope that it means he is in Perth and coming to me today!

Now I really don't want to go to work.

Kat

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #285 on:** December 29, 2010, 03:02:37 PM »

Scheduled for delivery for me meant it was in town ready to go, then I got a notification it was with the delivery driver

Hope he/she arrives soon

So exciting!

kat · « **Reply #286 on:** December 29, 2010, 03:59:38 PM »

On board with driver!!

Woo Hoo!!!
Now I really don't want to go to work.

I will post lots of pics of Norbit tonight when he is here. I have Kermy's battery charged up so I will use this while his battery charges so I can play with him right away.

Yay!

Firebreathingsquirrels · « **Reply #287 on:** December 29, 2010, 04:01:37 PM »

Yay! Congratulations Kat!!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #288 on:** December 29, 2010, 04:02:39 PM »

Woohoo, that is so exciting, can't wait to see Norbit

Smilegirl · « **Reply #289 on:** December 29, 2010, 04:30:11 PM »

I can't also wait to see Norbit and Kermy together

scaledandtailed · « **Reply #290 on:** December 29, 2010, 05:27:01 PM »

That’s grate Norbit will finally be with you soon hopefully
Though from the time he’s taken to get to you it does sound like they’ve been making the poor guy walk most of the way lol.
Can’t help having an image of a poor little pleo trudging along a long dusty deserted road in the middle of no-where trying to hitch a lift from the few vehicles that do pass

Crewella · « **Reply #291 on:** December 29, 2010, 07:44:29 PM »

Oh - that's such a sweet image, Scaly, especially knowing the reception he'll get when he finally makes it home!

fancyfont · « **Reply #292 on:** December 29, 2010, 10:30:51 PM »

How exciting to have Norbit practically there! It's almost 9:30 P.M. here in California. That would make it sometime in the afternoon the next day for you. So that must mean it's New year's Eve there. That makes it a very special day that Norbit is finally coming home to you. What a great way to spend the beginning of 2011 with two little dinos!

I won't make it until your midnight, so Happy new Year to you and everyone down under.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #293 on:** December 29, 2010, 11:37:31 PM »

Fancy, I am not good at Math, but if it is 10:34 here now in the Redwoods, ( California) and it is the afternoon there, then it would be the 30th there right, Isn't New Year's Eve on Friday, the 31st, as New Years day is Jan 1'st which is Saturday? It sounds almost like two days or a day and a half ahead?

Has me confused, But I do hope Kermy has her little green brother soon, While I am sleeping, he will be there with his sister and Mum.

Hi everyone.

With all the excitement of Norbit arriving poor Kermy has had to take a bit of a back seat. She is a very good girl though and has been helping me hatch Norbit. Giving him lots of encouragement with sweet cooing and little noises. She seems most mesmerized by him. She does seem to go into that trance like state and make the same noises over and over again when ever she sees him. I think she is waiting for him to respond in a particular way. She has shown other behavior towards him as well though which can be quite cute. I do think she likes him.

When Norbit arrived he came with all the new accessories and been as he is still a baby I am going to try them out on Kermy for you all. The only thing that didn't come with him was the 2 spare batteries I ordered. One for him and one for Kermy. I am going to contact Innvo again today about them to check they are still going to be sent.

Ok so now for the good bit.

Here is Kermy trying the sugar cane.

She likes it very much. I love the little wave she does at the end.

"Not waving ......... but begging!"

She DOES like it, doesn't she!? Lovely - thanks Kat!

Malfie · « **Reply #296 on:** December 31, 2010, 07:10:09 PM »

Awwwww, that is just so cute! She really does want that sugar cane

kat · « **Reply #297 on:** January 01, 2011, 06:17:43 AM »

I am feeling very unlucky right now. Kermy has a broken tail

I noticed yesterday when I was playing with her that her tail didn't seem to be going up and down but only side to side. I noticed a few times when she did movements and sounds that are normally accompanied with her tail moving up or down that I could hear the motor working to make the movement but there was no movement. I thought this may have just been part of her trance like state because of Norbit so tonight I played with her on her own for a while and then when I did have Norbit going too I made sure she was faced away from him so she could behave normally. Her tail is definitely not moving up or down. When you touch her tail there is no resistance in the up down directions but there is resistance for sideways. Norbit's tail has resistance in every direction.

Not good.

I feel awful having to contact Innvo again with another problem. I hope they don't think I am a complainer.
I wonder if they will be able to fix it. I don't know anything about how pleos are put together or how they work but I suspect that there is a cable in the tail that connects it to the motors and makes it move and I am guessing this cable has come loose or broken. I have no idea how this could have happened.

I am so careful with her.

Has anyone else out there got a pleo with a broken tail? And any wisdom on how the tail works or if anyone has had any luck with repairs in this area?
Kat

OzPleo · « **Reply #298 on:** January 01, 2011, 06:20:27 AM »

So sorry to read about Kermy's tail

You've had a bad run with your PleoRBs from Asia. Maybe you should convince Innvo to replace her.

kat · « **Reply #299 on:** January 01, 2011, 07:11:06 AM »

Here is a video I took tonight showing her tail not moving but the motors making movement noise. Usually when she does this move and make this sound her tail moves vigorously up and down.
