Just thought I’d make a new post about the start of my pleo journey!

I currently have two pleos on their way to me in the mail - a ugobe from the USA, and a pink rb from Denmark (my current profile picture.) Both are lightly used but weren’t played with much, the RB was part of a group of 4 pleos that travelled to schools to teach children about robots! I’m so excited for them to arrive and the wait is killing me!
I already have SD cards, a spare battery and autoglym coming in the mail in anticipation of their arrival. :D

I’ve been reading everything I can about these wonderful little dinos on this forum, I’m so thankful to find an old forum that is still up and running with some active members in the community. ^^

I’m not sure which OS either pleo will be running, but the rb was purchased in 2016, so I assume she’s already up to date.

I’m nervous that their arrival will be delayed due to COVID, but fingers crossed it all goes smoothly and they show up in the next couple of weeks. I’ll post an update on this thread once my babies arrive!

That’s all for now :)

Hey Lucky Lucy,


Good job on the double win!  The pink Rb is a nice one by the picture!  The choice of OS is really only interesting (IMHO) in the case of the UGOBE (Plain Pleo) as the different flavors do actually vary.  It is a very personal decision as to which one suits you best.


There was a post deep in the bowels of the forum archives that gave a good description of what the actual changes that were incorporated in each version, and sort of "how to tell which OS does my Pleo have?" guide as well.


I had good intentions to bookmark it for reference, but alas...


Enjoy your new companions!

LucyK5:
Hi Peter, thanks for your replies! I have been reading both that FAQ page as well as the rb one :D
I’ve researched the different OS versions and watched videos, but I haven’t decided on which OS to go with for my ugobe yet, I like the thought of more tricks and vocalisations but I don’t like the idea of the teenage stage that they go through! ???
I guess I’ll see what my pleo is running when he gets here and decide from there!

LucyK5:
A stressful update! My pleo rb got sent back to the Denmark sender because they would not accept the spare, loose lithium battery. So now he’s repacked my pleo with her battery in, and they said this will be fine, but now I don’t get to have a spare battery anymore. :(
Makes me nervous about my ugobe coming from the US, I know that battery is nimh rather then lithium but that just makes me even more concerned!
Fingers crossed there aren’t any more issues in transit!
