I caved and after much consideration whether to wait, is it worth having another when I already have the latest one, what colour do I prefer

? I ordered a blue Pleo RB from Gimmedigi. I hope to have him soon. Will keep you posted.

Hah - another one! I'm so glad, I was wondering if I was the only one that couldn't wait! Congrats, let us know when he/she arrives.

How's Angus doing?

Angus is great and eagerly waiting for his cousin

Glad to hear it - Iggy and Budge are similarly excited!

I took the plunge as well, but I bought a little Blue PleoRB from Chinatete. Waiting for him to show up any day now

Even though I'm not going to open him up till Xmas. I'm excited to hear the results of the Gimmiedigi shopping experience and to see the January Pre-Order arrivals as well

Crewella · « **Reply #6 on:** December 11, 2010, 05:04:17 PM »

How exciting - can't wait to see the Christmas opening pics!

*if you last that long*

Lol, I know I couldn't, it does make it even more special though. Make sure you charge the battery before Christmas to be ready!

Can't wait to see him FoxinSox.

A big suggestion to all you about to be pleo rb owners out there go and buy a bottle of Pledge furniture polish as a present to your new pleo. I highly recommend it. It seems to be working well so far to keep Kermys skin smooth, clean and bright and not loosing paint.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #9 on:** December 11, 2010, 05:35:39 PM »

Ooh thanks for the reminder, I'll get some today

Crewella · « **Reply #10 on:** December 11, 2010, 05:41:26 PM »

Sorry guys, I'm an antiques dealer - it's gonna have to be bees wax polish or nuthin' for mine! I'm sure it will work just as well!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #11 on:** December 11, 2010, 08:15:43 PM »

Hi Crewella, I am with you, I don't like all the chemicals that are around, and I have used Olive oil lightly with success, as well as Almond Sesame oil, and Plain old Beeswax like you mentioned. I use to love my Antique Birdseye Maple dresser from around 1890 with beveled mirror and I used Walnlut oil and loved the sheen, I use whatever I can if it is natural. I don't know if Pledge will work better, but if I can stay away from it, I will.

Thumbs up..

Crewella: Haha, yeah I'm hoping I'll hold out too, lol! I'll be sure to snap a few shots of the little guy for posterity.

IMR: Thanks IMR! It will be special, I'm so excited to meet my little Pleo

Charging the battery ahead of time, now that is a great idea! I'm only going to have a few hours before I have to get to cooking Xmas dinner anyway, so I better make them count! I'm thinking I'm going to buy an extra battery before Xmas if I can manage too.

Kat: Thanks Kat!! I couldn't have gotten through it without your help, that and the Kermy Diaries, to keep me patient

Funny you suggested the Pledge, I just bought some this afternoon.

Crewella · « **Reply #13 on:** December 11, 2010, 08:32:59 PM »

Absolutely agree, RWM - oiled wood is beautiful! I don't like using unnecessary chemicals, but it's also that spray polishes, after time, build up a sort of milky layer on antique polished furniture that can take a lot of work to get rid of. It might well be that that layer is what is so good for Pleo skin, of course, but I'm hoping that the bees wax will protect it in the same way. I will report back if I find otherwise.

OzPleo · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2010, 12:27:17 AM »

Just got an email from Gimmedigi. They'll be shipping my blue Pleo RB tomorrow

Crewella · « **Reply #17 on:** December 14, 2010, 05:40:25 AM »

Yay - that's great news Ozpleo!

Well, Gimmidigi did their job beatifully and my blue Pleo arrived in the UK last Friday. Unfortunately the scrooges at customs are holding him/her to ransom and it still says "At National hub - received from customs - charges to be paid"!

Gah!

kat · « **Reply #18 on:** December 14, 2010, 07:02:26 AM »

Maybe you should phone them and see if you can find out why it's being held up.

scaledandtailed · « **Reply #19 on:** December 14, 2010, 07:13:50 AM »

Well that’s just typical isn’t it?
Kat I think there holding her pleo to ransom quite literally. I’m guessing they want money in the form of import charges.

Really sorry that there are holding on to it.
Did hear once that they give you time to pay up at least but I don’t know if you get the item in the mean time. Hope it’s not a case of no pay now no pleo though.
Hope you don’t mind me asking but have they contacted you to let you know how much you have to pay? Hope there not asking too much from you.
I tried looking through the sight over the weekend to see how much they might charge so I could work out how much it might cost us in the UK in total but the information was so vague that I gave up

Hope you manage to get your pleo home safe soon

Ozpleo - I'm sorry - I've just realised I've hijacked your thread with my own purchase! I've started a new thread!

That's okay I understand your frustration. Similarly I know for sure that even if Innvo do ship on the 17th I probably won't get my accessories until long after Christmas.

Happykitsune · « **Reply #22 on:** December 14, 2010, 01:22:59 PM »

Glad I'm not the only one who saw the light XD

Got my pink pleo today and her skin is soooooo soft o.o

Charging right now...

OzPleo · « **Reply #23 on:** December 15, 2010, 11:51:18 AM »

Still haven't received any shipping details

I do hope I get him before Christmas.

Crewella · « **Reply #24 on:** December 15, 2010, 12:15:29 PM »

I'm sure it will be any day now - fingers crossed!
