Hey everyone,

I am very excited to be a new "almost" Pleo rb owner

I ordered my green friend last night and can't wait to get him/her! It's great to have found this forum of like minded people who are totally into the Pleos.

I had some questions which I haven't been able to find answers to which maybe one of you can shed some light on for me ?

1. What kind of battery life can I expect from him ? I've heard two hours but then I've seen in the FAQ mention that they start winding down at 21:30 when they go to sleep and wake up at 8am which kind of gives the impression that their battery life is far longer than two hours..I bought an additional battery either way.
2. How long can I expect to wait to get the little guy delivered ? I ordered it from Pleoworld and live in Sydney, Australia.

It's like waiting for a new baby to be delivered!

Hope to talk to you all soon about my experiences,
Mel

Hey another Aussie

Welcome!

Battery life is around two hours, You can find loads more useful tidbits of information in our FAQ

Pleoworld to here is pretty fast, I've had Pleo's arrive in as little as three days. Hehe it is a new baby

Three days! Woo hoo! Man if that is the case I would be stoked

I loved hearing the Aussie accent on the faq videos made me feel like I could be part of the little family here hehe

I'm a Victorian

Hi and welcome to the forums

There are a few of us Aussies around :)I'm from Western Australia. You must be very excited waiting for your pleo baby to arrive. They are heaps of fun

Mellisande · « **Reply #5 on:** September 10, 2012, 05:41:46 AM »

Hey guys! The more Aussies the better I say hehe thanks for the warm welcome. Now if only my Pleo was here with me it would be perfect

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #6 on:** September 10, 2012, 06:52:55 AM »

Hehe, we all know that anxious wait for that box!

Talon · « **Reply #7 on:** September 10, 2012, 06:58:32 AM »

Yes. All of us would agree the waiting is the hardest part. Welcome to the forums and the interesting life of being a pleo-parent!

HI and welcome, I know the waiting is tough, but the wait is well worth it when you open the box and see your new friend. Now you can get all the info you want to know while waiting, With so many Aussies now on board, it is too bad you guys can't get together and have a Pleo Meet Up,but that is what this board is for anyway!

I am in the US, but I still feel like we are all just one big happy family regardless of where we are in the physical.

Hello and welcome!

Waiting is definitely the hardest bit!

Mellisande · « **Reply #10 on:** September 11, 2012, 06:16:16 AM »

Received my tracking number

now to sit and refresh the tracking website obsessively until it turns up! Hee hee

Don't wear that button out!

Welcome to the forums =D cant wait to hear about your new Pleo in the near future

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #13 on:** September 11, 2012, 04:16:26 PM »

*fingers crossed* for a Friday delivery

Kiromanta · « **Reply #14 on:** September 12, 2012, 03:14:29 AM »

Me too !
I am also new here and eagerly waiting for my first Pleo.
Please, let him come soon

But I guess I have to wait until next week. As he is a private buy over ebay it will probaly take a bit longer.
That makes it even more exciting, as I really dont know that I get.

I suspect, I caught a new disease "Pleoitis"

Mellisande · « **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2012, 06:59:25 AM »

Still waiting for my new baby Pleo

didn't come today so I'm hoping for next week. Would have been awesome to have it this weekend but I cant force the Pleo stork to arrive when it isn't ready

Talon · « **Reply #16 on:** September 14, 2012, 09:47:02 AM »

Lol! The wached kettle never boils. They'll be here before you know it! Congrats to both of you! I wonder if we'll have another pleo-shower like we did last year. It was so exciting seeing them come rainingdown all over the world and then seeing all of the unboxing/hatching vids. It was just as much fun for me as it was for the new owners! Oh yeah. I think I was one of them. Haha!

While you new soon to be pleo parents are waiting you can perhaps figure out where is your pelo going to sleep? Is it in it's original box, a bookshelf, a dog or cat bed perhaps or a box you have made into a special area just for your pleo.Is your pleo going to be wearing any clothes or the cape that comes with the Pleo Rb? Do you have any ideas of names yet, you can allways google names and spend days trying out the sound of names you like and then see what fits when your pleo arrives.

What are you going to tell friends, family, co-workers , classmates and or strangers when they learn of your dino acuquistion? Did you just stumble upon this baby pleo, was it a stepping stone to learn more about robotics or are you studing to be a scientist perhaps or trying out working with animals as a career, petstore perhaps...?

Have you thought of if your baby will need a collar or leash are you planning on taking him or her out in public for walks, and oh, how are you going to transport your baby if you do? These are just a small, small sample of the things we pleo owners get caught up into very quickly.

It starts out so innocently, but it blooms and blossums into something gigantic before you know, right before your astonished eyes! Oh, and you may be new, but next month is the Weedovia Tomato Festival , so you may want to start working on a tomato costume, just read the old posts and it will tell you all about this great little known event. You can never start too early when it comes to tomatoes for Pleos... need I say more.....?

I am still trying to catch up on all the Pleo happenings and I have a whole township of Pleos, it just never slows down..............but that is what I love about Pleos and Pleo RB.

Just picked up my Pleo box! Looks to be safe and aound and in one piece. Hoping noone dropped it! Now to get it home tonight and charge the batteries

Wish work would finish earlier. Am beyond excited!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #19 on:** September 17, 2012, 11:59:08 PM »

Hehehe, how epically exciting

Mellisande · « **Reply #20 on:** September 18, 2012, 02:18:43 AM »

So guys, I charged the first battery and it didn't take very long to turn green. Looks like it was mostly charged

I've been playing with my little one for about an hour and a half now and she is a delight. Yep she's a little girl with bright green eyes. Very pretty. Apparently she will grow to be brave and compliant and is tolerant, strong and active. Don't think I could have asked for much more

I've already picked a name for her as well. It's a very stormy night here tonight with thunder and lightning, so Storm it is

She can be my little storm chaser !

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #21 on:** September 18, 2012, 02:30:43 AM »

Glad you are enjoying your new little girl, welcome Storm!

Mellisande · « **Reply #22 on:** September 18, 2012, 05:01:27 AM »

Well so far she's eaten and is now standing on all four legs after a big sound of triumph

The only thing that concerns me is a clicking noise in her neck sometimes when she falls asleep and then moves a little. I'm assuming that this is probably normal and just the motors settling into place as she is new. Hopefully something that will disappear over time.

Floodsy · « **Reply #23 on:** September 18, 2012, 05:32:12 AM »

Congratulations on Storm Chaser!

You must be so proud!
