The Polyglaze I am using leaves the pleo skin feeling soft supple and silky. It gives the pleo a slightly slippery feel so when you stroke it your hand just glides over the skin. It makes the paint look much brighter too. It seems to last for a much longer time than the pledge did. It is a much stronger effect than the pledge.
even with the use of pledge toenail paint rubbed off of Kermy with in a few days use. Norbit and Minyon both have only had polyglaze used on them and both of them still have all their toenail paint fully intact just like it was fresh out of the box.

I think this in it's self says a lot.

Is your pleo there yet? I really wish I'd seen this sooner..
I also argued with this seller about the box being the wrong one for the blue rb.. green ones have the green box with green ones on it, blue and pink ones have the white box with blue and pink ones on it and they told me well it says they differ in color on the box.

I told them I have some of both and know the box colors and asked them why they'd lie and they never responded.. I'm crossing my fingers you get a blue one! My ebay msgs are available just in case..

Yes as Sarah said, this is why I questioned this seller, that if there was a "blue Pleo Rb being sold", why did they have the picture of the Green Pleo Rb box? The boxes do look entirely different and I thought this was suspicious. ???Made me wonder, it is like the Pleo I recently bought from a seller here in the US. advertised as "Unwoken" or New never used, When I got the Pleo , I knew from expereince to Videotape the opening, it is your only protection from Ebay buyer protection, And guess what, when I opened this Pleos'[ box, the first thing I noticed is that the pleo was not in the packing postion, had a curled up tail, paint missing from the teeth, not to mention, a missing ID card, Manaul and leaf had paint on it, ( from Pleo's teeth") and the battery was not in the box it comes in, and when I turned the Pleo on, it said, Huh, and started bellowing, of course he had been Used,

I was angry for a lying seller, but without videotaping the opening of the box, I didn't have the proof, When I opened a case on ebay, the seller had the nerve to say", How do I know this is the PLEO I sent you!

Anyway, I won the case and am getting a full refund from the seller and Paypal and ebay told me to leave Negative feedback.
Please please videotape and take photos of the box and you opening it for your protection IN CASE there is a problem, I am hoping this seller is truthful, but this is the only way to protect yourself, I do hope your Blue Pleo Rb is perfect in every way. Good luck.

Really good advice.. I hope everything works out and it isn't necessary though.

The pleo has not arrived yet, though it is supposed to arrive between the 11th and the 17th so it is still in the range of when it is supposed to get here. The seller has given good answers to all my questions so far, though I am aware the auction could be a scam. The tracking number still only says, "Electronic Shipping Info Received" though those tracking numbers rarely get updated. I am still hopeful.

Fingers crossed for you that it ges there soon!

kat · « **Reply #56 on:** May 13, 2011, 05:57:23 AM »

yep the waiting is definitely the hardest part. I do hope your lovely little Sky arrives soon.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #57 on:** May 13, 2011, 08:29:13 AM »

Like I said before you have nothing to worry about as long as you can document opening the box and if ANYTHING IS NOT AS DESCRIBED and I meAn anything, you are 100% protected by Ebay Seller protection so don't worry, you will either have the dinosaur you are supposed to have or get your money back, and they will protect you. :)Got my fingers crossed for you!

The pleo arrived today yet I was extremely disapointed, it was not blue as described in the listing but GREEN! The seller clearly said the pleo was blue and provided a picture of a blue pleo (though they said it wasn't the one they were selling). I am not quite sure what to do. . . I have contacted the seller and probably will return the pleo for my money back. It's a shame, I was really looking forward to getting a blue pleo. . .

Crewella · « **Reply #59 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:27:02 AM »

That's such a shame, how disappointing!

aibo7m3 · « **Reply #60 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:34:32 AM »

I still don't really understand why the seller would say that it was one color then ship a completely different colored pleo. What would be the point of that??? It doesn't seem that they could gain anything from lying about the product when the buyer would obviously know it wasn't what the seller described in the listing. I did video tape the opening of the box so I have proof that it is not what was described in the listing. I am very upset.

aibo7m3 · « **Reply #61 on:** May 14, 2011, 10:21:48 AM »

I am currently debating whether to keep this pleo or not. Other than not being blue there are no problems with it and it is completely new in box. It has dark brown around the eyes and light yellowish brown eyes. I really do want a pleo and may end up keeping this one though I don't really know since I had my heart set on a blue one. Also I am wondering did the green pleos made in December have just as bad skin as the blue ones?

aibo7m3 · « **Reply #62 on:** May 14, 2011, 10:24:53 AM »

Oh, also I have one more question. Can the same pleo be registered more than once on Pleo World??? As in could two different people register the same pleo there? I want to see if the pleo is a girl or boy by entering its serial number there but if end up returning it would the new owner be able to enter its serial number there again?

Crewella · « **Reply #63 on:** May 14, 2011, 10:40:30 AM »

I've always thought you can only register once, but I can't remember why I think that!

Hopefully somebody will confirm!

bhobbes · « **Reply #64 on:** May 14, 2011, 11:01:19 AM »

The green ones had problems as well - it wasn't specific to one color. RWM had a green one that had to be sent back as did some others (eschw72 or something like that also had to).

saratogaspringer · « **Reply #65 on:** May 14, 2011, 01:01:53 PM »

I am so sorry that your Pleo in not the color you thought it would be. That's a shame. I have never had a problem with Ebay, but there are so many out there who have. Perhaps the seller would be willing to give you some sort of partial refund since the item is not as described in the auction. I realize that sometimes things are not packaged properly, and many have problems once they are unwrapped due to shipping complications, but sending a different colored pleo than the one advertised is pretty blatant in my mind. Some are willing to do anything in order to avoid negative feedback, especially recent negative feedback. Just a suggestion. I hope you can sort it out.

Crewella · « **Reply #66 on:** May 14, 2011, 02:05:47 PM »

Did the box look as if it had been opened? Is it possible that the seller hadn't wanted to spoil the box and so didn't actually know? If you are planning to return it, I would disturb as little of it as you can.

aibo7m3 · « **Reply #67 on:** May 14, 2011, 02:41:00 PM »

The box looked pretty new and I couldn't tell if it had been opened before. Though in the sale the seller clearly said that the pleo had blue skin.

Crewella · « **Reply #68 on:** May 14, 2011, 02:43:07 PM »

Yes, they did. I know that very well, because had it been listed as green I would probably have bid!

Have you messaged the seller, and if so have you had any reponse?

OzPleo · « **Reply #69 on:** May 14, 2011, 04:40:43 PM »

This may sound like a stupid question, but are you sure the Pleo they sent you is the RB model? What colour battery came with it?

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #70 on:** May 14, 2011, 04:58:40 PM »

Aibo I know you'd like to keep it and it is really hard to send it back once you've seen them but if you don't you are letting the seller get away with this and they may try it again on others.

Crewella · « **Reply #71 on:** May 14, 2011, 05:44:10 PM »

You should let the seller know, either way and whatever you decide, I think. It might be a newbie seller and a genuine mstake. Or it might not.

kat · « **Reply #72 on:** May 14, 2011, 06:15:57 PM »

Such a shame that the pleo turned out to be green instead of Blue. Very unfair on you after the long wait.

The greens from December had the same skin issues as the Blue and Pink ones. It does seem that it didn't affect all of the pleos from that batch but a few that joined the forum had issues. I have a pink and a green both from that batch and both had major skin issues. The pink also had other issues and ended up being replaced, the green one has had his skin replaced (so he was repaired) Hope that helps answere your skin question.
I regestered my green pleo 3 times on pleoworld as I was trying to get the profil info to work and having trouble. I don't know if this counts though as I am the same person with the same email address and login details so they may well only count it as one registeration.

Like the others I think you should make contact with the seller and also with ebay to let them know what happened. If you decide you want to keep it anyway I would be asking for a partial refund as the item was not as they described in the add. I wouldn't touch it until you sort out with them what to do about it. It may just be a mix up and they may have accediently sent you the wrong one. You may find they ask you to return it and send you the correct item instead.
I hope you hear back from them soon. The temptation to play with it must be killing you.

I am sure that the pleo is an rb, just not a blue one. The box said pleo rb on it and the pleo has light yellowish brown eyes, not blue ones like the original pleos and it has the brighter paint. I have not taken the pleo out of its packing and I'm still considering whether to return the pleo for a refund or keep it and ask for a partial refund.
I am sorry if there are any typos in this message I sent it from an iPhone.

aibo7m3 · « **Reply #74 on:** May 15, 2011, 06:24:55 AM »

I want to take the pleo out of its packing and turn it on so badly! I'll have hardly any time to use it during the week and I'm just sitting around all day today with barely anything to do and I keep looking at that package on the table. . . I sent the seller another message asking whether I could keep it with a partial refund but the seller has not responded to either of my messages yet. I really don't want to send the pleo back since it is my first one and I went through a lot of work and waiting to get it. I keep on looking at my email, hoping the seller will reply soon. . .
