Just recently, about 4 months ago, I was browsing an app on my iPad called 'Robots', when I came across the cutest, most loveable thing I had layed eyes on - Pleo. I did more research, and immediately became obsessed with pleo. I watched every Pleo related video on youtube and I read every single article about Pleo on the web. I finally came to the decision to buy one two weeks ago, and he just arrived today!

That's how I came to know about Pleo.

The very first time I saw Pleo, it was in a magazine for High Tech stuff. And that was probably around 2005. I remember it was my sisters fiancé that showed it to me. I love robots and dinosaurs, so of course, I fell in love with Pleo at the first sight. Then later, 2006, I saw this clip on Youtube with the prototype version of Pleo. I almost died from cuteness back then, haha. I really, really wanted one. But to be honest, I thought that I would never get one. When I saw that video, I thought that Pleo would be super expensive. Well, he is a little expensive, but not as I expected it to be. I thought it was going to be as pricey as Aibo, haha :D I used to watch that clip over and over again, and show it to everyone I know, just to show how smart and cute Pleo was.

The years passed and I forgot a little about Pleo. I didn't completely forget about him, but I didn't think about it so much. So many things happened in my life so I had other stuff to think on! I got a boyfriend, moved away from my family and lived in my own. Then, the year 2009 me and my now fiancé, went to Toys "R" Us, just for fun, cause I still find it fun walking around toy stores and check out new toys. Then all of a sudden, I saw Pleo on a shelf! My eyes went this big O__O. I ran to the shelf and saw many green boxes stored up on the shelves and then the star standing inside a see through box. There were buttons you could push and Pleo would move and stuff. I have no idea how that worked to be honest, haha. I just pushed a button and Pleo would start moving and let out sounds. I looked for the pricetag, and noticed how cheap he was! In swedish currency the price was 999 crowns so that would be around 145,34 dollars. I made a puppyface to my fiancé but he said that we should save the money for more important things. And he was right, cause back then, we we're kind of broke.

Back at home, I couldn't stop thinking about Pleo! He was so cheap! If if didn't buy it now, I would regret it. So I was kind of sad knowing that I wouldn't be able to buy Pleo. My fiancé noticed that and as much as he hates seeing me sad he told me: "You know what? Lets buy Pleo!" He told me that if we bought him, the money we would have left was only be used for food, but nothing else. Bills were already paid. So next day we went back and bought him! We went back home and when Pleo was up and going, we both fell in love in him. 

Sometimes I have a little bad consience thinking about how we bought a Pleo for all of our money, haha. But we both were happy with the Pleo :)

Back to my story, this is one of the very first models that i was lucky to see in person - a preview for my pleo blog - months before pleo came in stores in italy ( you can see his famous ugobe collar)  ;D
I was very excited at the time, but it wasn't possible to take the little guy with me (how sad!)...

A friend of mine had one of the ugobe pleos and when my son was older i re-found pleos this year about 2 months ago.

I didn't know Pleo existed until three weeks ago. Than it was for sale at the iBood site. My husband see it and of course we had to have one. We love dinosaurs! :dino-chase:
And now I'm surrounded by a whole Pleo forum and Pleo world. :o ;D
