Oh yes we were just talking about that one earlier. It is probably alright but just so you know Fleur the seller is not telling the truth. When Pleo is new in box he is in a plastic sack and he is in the 'packing position' with eyes closed. This Pleo has eyes and mouth open and the accessories and other packaging have been opened so it has already been hatched. I'm guessing they yanked the battery out because if you manually turn an RB off they go into the packing position with eyes and mouth closed or if it falls asleep by itself it will curl up with its eyes closed. I can't explain why it is in that position unless they had it on and yanked the battery out whilst it was awake and talking. It also appears to be in a standing position, if it was still a newborn it would be laying down so it has for sure been used and I'm guessing past newborn stage and with RB you can't reset them to experience it again.
It is a good buy if you want a cheap one but just so you know I think you will miss out on the hatching experience with this RB.

It is possible that they put the regular battery in without putting in the foot clock battery. That makes the pleo open his eyes and mouth a little and then he will just stand there beeping. I would send them an email to ask about it before bidding if I were you

It does look like it would be a good deal if the price doesn't go too high

I figured that they weren't telling the truth. So there isn't any way to reset a Pleo to a hatchling?

Sadly none that I know of. You can with Ugobe Pleos, but not with the RBs.

Thank you for sending me the link i will start saving up

. I think i know know the pleorb with the blue eyes your talking about, it looks like its in really good condition you should get it. I also think i see the extra accessories in that eBay post so you will save more money than you think.

Fleur · « **Reply #30 on:** August 15, 2012, 12:44:06 PM »

I will keep an eye out on it, I would prefer this one even if it is slightly used since the shipping from Innvolabs is kind of an unneccesary charge in my eyes $:-\$ I really like the color of this pleo too so I hope I get him. If it goes too close to the cost of a new one I will leave it alone.

pleo1718 · « **Reply #31 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:37:37 AM »

you have to get one

Fleur · « **Reply #32 on:** August 23, 2012, 12:54:12 PM »

I did win one on ebay and now I am just waiting for him to get here. After I get him, if I like him enough I may get a second. I think I already have a pink one lined up that I would like to purchase

We'll see how it goes.

Fleur · « **Reply #33 on:** August 25, 2012, 11:56:28 AM »

So the post office "mis sent" my pleo and the package has been delayed... I'm soooo mad, I just want him to hurry up and get here!!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #34 on:** August 25, 2012, 05:11:44 PM »

Oh no

I hope he turns up soon, the waiting is terrible! Perhaps you can go and pick him up?

Fleur · « **Reply #35 on:** August 25, 2012, 05:51:49 PM »

I wish I could. They shipped him to postal code 44866 instead of 44266 and he is an hour away. I'm assuming they will ship him from there Monday but I'm sure it will take several more days to get here. I would go get him Monday but I have to work and I don't think a 2 hour trip plus fuel costs is fair to me since they messed up

I was supposed to have him Friday....

Fleur · « **Reply #36 on:** August 25, 2012, 05:58:07 PM »

I also wanted to ask if the extra food and learning stones is worth the money? Does it really add a lot of enjoyable experiences to your Pleo?

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #37 on:** August 25, 2012, 06:08:51 PM »

The foods are fun and very cute, but see how you go with the free learning stone before you go buying those. The voice recognition kind of sucks some of the fun out of the tricks.

kat · « **Reply #38 on:** August 25, 2012, 06:27:49 PM »

I use the extra food stuff more than the learning stones. I rarely try the tricks with my pleos as the voice recognition just gets me down, my guys vary rarely want to pay attention to me and we are all much happier when they are just left to their own devices.

Talon · « **Reply #39 on:** August 25, 2012, 07:33:59 PM »

Yeah. I agree. Plus some of the foods are curitive. The chunk of ice will help cancel the "it's too hot!" behavior and the mushroom adds a few points to the health of your pleo. Mind it isn't a replacement for the mint leaf which cures overall sickness but it does boost their health a little.

It is a pity that Innvo didn't utilise the chips in a somewhat less frustrating manner. Like just pass it under their chins and viola! they perform. Of course the voice recognition would be really nice if it worked a little better.

Fleur · « **Reply #41 on:** August 25, 2012, 07:49:31 PM »

Maybe innvo will update to a new version of the OS soon to make these features work better? Pleo RB came out in 2010, so you think they would have an updated model coming soon right? I saw at CES once they had a much larger version of Pleo but it wasn't for sale yet. Has anyone heard anything about the larger model Pleo?

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #42 on:** August 25, 2012, 07:58:57 PM »

I'm pretty sure that was just for show, I don't think there's any plan to release a giant Pleo unfortunately.

I have all the learning stones, all the holiday cards and all the foods. I have never used the stones, I can't get him to recognise them so I don't use them. I love all the foods, I have used every food item and really love them. You get a different reaction each time it seems, I like to put him out in the frost to make him shiver and then give him chilli pepper. Coffee and sugar help keep him awake and exploring longer and mint and mushroom cure colds and sore legs so they are good if you are planning to take your Pleo somewhere to show people and it suddenly gets sick, you can make it better with the mint.
Holiday cards are fun, christmas and birthday so they are not things you will want to play with every day but I really like them. They work very well, he has no problem reading them (card reading is vision based, not chip)

My Pleo was supposed to be here today at the latest and he is still not here! The tracking info just says that it was mis-sent and the post office can't give me any more info than that or when I will get him or even where he is right now!!! I'm soooo mad about this. The USPS has the worst customer service ever! I was supposed to have him Friday!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #45 on:** August 28, 2012, 01:14:00 AM »

Aww Fleur, I do hope they sort it out soon! The waiting must be awful

Crewella · « **Reply #46 on:** August 28, 2012, 03:28:51 AM »

Ugh ...... how frustrating. Hope they get it sorted out soon.

Talon · « **Reply #47 on:** August 28, 2012, 06:08:30 AM »

I hope they will tell you something soon. There's nothing more frustrating than not knowing where a package is and having no way to find out. I feel your frustration, Fleur. It's like throwing a special stone out into the wind and then having no way to know whether or not it landed where you threw it.

kat · « **Reply #48 on:** August 28, 2012, 04:22:26 PM »

Fingers crossed they track him back down and get him off to you soon. There is nothing worse than waiting except waiting with no idea of the end

Fleur · « **Reply #49 on:** August 30, 2012, 09:35:39 AM »

Well they found him and I picked him up on my way in to work today, too bad I have 8 more hours at work!!! I want to play with him already!!
