Hi thanks!!!

its a joke aint it lol, do you have to pay when it arrives at customs.

Margery · « **Reply #3 on:** December 02, 2011, 02:26:33 PM »

Yes. You pay the courier online. The extra cost is the handling fee. Crewella gave me a tip to save time. Do not wait for invoice to arrive. Ring the courier once they have the Pleo and arrange payment.

Crewella · « **Reply #4 on:** December 03, 2011, 01:25:25 AM »

Yep, it's as Margery says.

I'm not sure what plug those come with, but you'll just need one of those little adapters for the UK 3pin plug, not a full transformer. They're only cheap.

Thanks for replys.

One more little Q, do the ugobe pleos have joins in ther skin. Someone at my daughters school is selling one but there is a join in the tail, they are saying it came like that

thanks x

Joins yes, but make sure it isn't a split or crack in the skin.

Leigh · « **Reply #8 on:** December 03, 2011, 02:14:47 PM »

Thank you.

It gos all the way round the tail about a third of the way down and looks likes its glued on. Ive tried to look at the pics on here because it was quite obvious so thought i would be able to see, but the pics I found all tails all looked smooth with no joins

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #9 on:** December 03, 2011, 02:41:03 PM »

Yep that is about right, there is one join at the top of the tail and one down near the tip, they are reasonably hard to see except in person.

Crewella · « **Reply #10 on:** December 03, 2011, 02:51:50 PM »

Yep, this is a partially unpicked tail seam - there's an overlap so it's easy to stick if they come unstuck.

More details...

Thanks everyone for all your help x

Does anyone know where you get the new ones (reborn I think) if your in uk and how much they are .

Innvo Labs have given the official European distribution rights to Robopolis in France (website:http://www.shop-robopolis.com/index.php/en/new-models.html) They cost about £410. (Shipping is about 30 Euros incl in that - check for where you live)

GimmeDigi in Asia sell Blue and Pink Reborns for about £335 incl shipping but members of this forum have posted as having to pay around £80 import duty on top when the package arrives in this country.

£410 pounds !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoop whoop !!!

New arrival this morning bnib ugobe pleo

, Dying to have a play but dont think i should

Hes not mine). Right i have taken batteries and charger from box and started the process its been charging now for 3 hours and still not green is it dead

not tried the other one yet. Im hoping at least one will work as no money left in kitty for more batteries x

Think this little fella will be lonely so will need a little friend as soon as funds allow lol my other half keeps reminding me its not mine and not to take over on xmas day x

Margery · « **Reply #15 on:** December 08, 2011, 02:07:02 PM »

I take it that this a green Ugobe battery? They take up to 4 hours to charge. Just checking - the light is a steady red and not flashing? If it is flashing then the battery is not seated properly and will not be charging. This information only applies to green Ugobe batteries.

Search the Forum for info on hatching - the new owner will probably appreciate seeing that and it is a one-off. You'll now be waiting impatiently for Christmas Day! I hope you all have a great time then with the new arrival.

Please refer to the Pleo FAQ and the battery FAQ

And yes do make sure the battery is properly seated as mentioned above. Usually if the battery is bad the charger goes green straight away so I would be double checking that you have the battery seated properly.

Crewella · « **Reply #17 on:** December 08, 2011, 03:44:27 PM »

It can take 4 hours or so - hopefully it has now charged?

Congrats on the new arrival!

Leigh · « **Reply #18 on:** December 08, 2011, 05:07:47 PM »

Hi thanks for all your help x

First one took 4 hours and second took 3 and a half so im hoping this means that they are ok and not dead like some .

Crewella · « **Reply #19 on:** December 08, 2011, 05:15:49 PM »

Yay! That sounds promising, at least!
