Hey, Im new to the Pleo world - hoping to buy my first very shortly :)
However whilst I can find the Pleo Ugobe I really really want the Pleo RB, but unable to find it in the UK, does anyone know where in the UK sells it or a website which ships to the UK at a reasonable price?
Thanks!

I think Robopolis is the official distributor for Europe. Or you could try pleoworld. :)

Thanks for you reply!
I found a website called www.shop-robopolis.com, is this the right one? Also do you happen to know what their rating is like - as in are they a good seller, not just someone out there to con money of anything? Pleo RB's seem quite expensive so I dont want to lose my money :(
Also the pleoworld is in the US yea? Would I have to pay custom fee's on top of shipping? ???

Hello peaches. ;D. Personally, I would think it is a better idea to buy a pleorb from Robopolis rather than another UK source.As Kat said, they have been appointed the official and sole distributor in Europe by Innvo,the manufacturer. If you buy elsewhere there might be warranty issues? Of course, you could buy from Innvo's website, Pleoworld, but I'm not sure about the customs fee implications. I think a couple of forum members have ordered in the UK from USA. Perhaps they may tell you more accurately. Good luck :sheep1:
-
As Lotti says, you won't have the import duty to pay if you buy from Robopolis, so it's your best bet, I think. :)
-
Please let us know how you get on ordering from Robopolis. Thanks

Please let us know how you get on ordering from Robopolis. Thanks
Hello, defo let us know how your purchase goes please. I have decided to go for the rb too, and so your experience will help me decide. Keep us informed
-
I've finally decided to buy a pleo rb (yey!) Anyway I tried ordering one off pleoworld but it said it couldn't ship to the UK >:( so I contacted customer services but they still haven't replied! Anyway I was wondering if you guys knew where I could buy a pleo rb (preferably new) online which would ship to the UK?Thanks %)
-
I believe Roboplis are handling sales of the RB within Europe - you can either go to the Robopolis site:
http://www.shop-robopolis.com/index.php/en/pleo-reborn.html
or I believe this site is linked to Robopols:
http://www.pleoeurope.com/uk/
-
looks like the site only sells the green ones. i am still tempted to buy a pink one, but dunno where to get it from xx
-
Gimmedigi are selling the pink and blue again, but you'd have to check the warranty is still backed by Innvo, and you'd have to pay import duty the same as you would if you could buy direct from Innvo in the US. ???

thanks crewella.
i recently bought a doll for $275 and it cost me £60 ransom to customs, so i reckon it would be £100 ffor pleo for customs alone :( i may just paint my pleo pink, did you finish your boa pleo? xxx
-
From memory it was around £80-85 at customs for an RB. ???
Erm ...... got waylaid with neck surgeries and skin repair tests ....... I will finish Boa Pleo ........ promise! :-[ :moose:
-
hmm, £80 not too bad :)
hope you get finish the boa design, thank you so much for the info xxx
-
I bought mine from Robopolis. It was ordered for me on the 28th may and I got it on the 13th. Robopolis is probably the best place to buy a pleo rb in the UK. No custom fees and it gets delivered quick and well.
-
Sorry to kick this topic up, but I wasnt sure if TS allready purchased a Pleo RB or not.
I have two Pleo RB`s for sale, one is allready matured and one is still in baby phase.
PM me if your interested.
I can guarentee you that I`m a cheaper then Robopolis :P
( Dont worry guys.. Fudgy still save and sound... nobody gets my green little lizard :P )
-
I am in the UK and got my green Rb from Robopolis:
http://www.shop-robopolis.com/index.php/en/
They were really helpful and my Pleo was with me within 3 working days of placing my order :D Robopolis charge a flat shipping rate of 28 Euros so if you want any of the accessory packs its cheaper in the long run to order everything at once (lol, I found this out after I ordered just my Pleo).
Looks like the pink and blue Pleo Rb are US/Asia exclusive. Robopolis only sell the green model.
-
Oh crumbs, it's all so expensiiiiiiiive.
Sometimes I really wonder whether I should have been born in the US.
-
It's not much cheaper for them I'm afraid, they have to order from Hong Kong!
-
Have a look at amazon.de. As far as I know they ship to UK.
With € 299.00 for Pleo RB they a cheaper as Robopolis.
-
Sutz it def can be expensive!
I finally got a Pleo RB from PleoEurope a little while ago - although I technically don't have he/she till Xmas as its a present from my family & friends who all chipped in together for one as I completed my college course with D,D,D :)
Got to say Pleo Europe have been fantastic though; reasonable shipping, brilliant at replying to any queries I had, very helpful & a years warranty! So for anyone who's looking to buy one I'd def check them out :D
-
robopolis seem to sell RBs for 199 euros now!? That works out to about £150 which is a steal! (I paid £250 for my ugobe back in the day) I'm actually pretty tempted to get one! On the pleoworld site it was £300.
Hmmmmm...
-
Just bought a green Pleo rb from Robopolis, along with all the accessory packs, two years warranty and an extra battery, comes to just under £300 (including shipping and VAT) - a really incredible price ;D. I will let you all know how long it takes to arrive so others in the UK have a good estimate. (Plus it was a really nice site to use, no problems at all and I am the sort of person that messes things up regularly :P.
-
I purchased my pleo rb from robopolis, in Italy arrived in three days. Site very seriously, I did not understand if you bought it, but if you're going you can order with confidence

-
I'm gonna see how my money is after helping out with christmas, and I'll likely get an RB if it's all good!
My ugobe is going to find a new home with my friend in canada, if I do. Because she wants a pleo and I don't think I'll have the space for 2! He'll get well loved though :D
-
Yes, you're correct. More details in topic "where to buy a pleo rb" in Info, FAQs, and Forum Tips

I don't live in Europe or the UK, but would keep checking back here often and or check EBAY locally. Good luck. RWM :cat-hug:

Where is the best place to buy the pink RB here in the UK , has any1 from UK bought a pleo RB recently from the uk ?
Cheapest i have found online is in the following link , has any1 bought from them ?
http://www.accessoryjack.com/pleo-rb-baby-robotic-dinosaur-pink.html

Hiya! :D
It never was easy to get the pink and blue ones in the UK so Accessoryjack is probably your best bet, a few forum members have bought from them OK. They had a problem when the RB first came out in that they weren't including the learning/food accessories that should come with the RB but I believe they changed that. Worth checking what comes in the box, though, just in case. Good luck. :)
-
Might try them then lol , it does say that they come with all the accessories etc
-
Just bought a pink pleo RB from accessoryJack lol hope all goes well 👍
-
Congrats! I hope you enjoy your new addition when it arrives.

-
Excellent - congrats, I'm sure it will be fine. :D
Nice Royal in your pic, by the way. ;)
-
i spent £333.85 altogether including postage plus more accessory packs so not bad , prob will have to pay custom duty tax though when it arrives .
crewella I have 4 royals at mo , did have 6 earlier in the year lol
-
There is some1 selling a pleo on eBay for £856.64 putting in brackets Japan import lol then has a cheek to say it's free postage 😄
-
Wow! And Pleo isn't from Japan! That price would be closer to what you'd pay for an Aibo 210 not a Pleo, especially a Ugobe.
Talon
-
Actually, with the exchange rate, you could get an ERS-7 for that price! Sounds pretty lofty for a Pleo, but I suppose the person only needs to find one buyer to make the price worth it and more.

Ouch!!! I wish 'em luck with that! :o
I do love Royals, such pretty faces. :)
-
What are people's experiences with accessoryJack if you have bought from them ? I'm still waiting for them to ship the pink pleo rb i bought from them lol
-
Pink RB is on its way 😊 has reached Germany so far , being delivered by FedEx due for delivery Friday 👍
-
I would think it is a better idea to buy a pleorb from Robopolis. :)

Hey guys I am about to buy a pleo rb mysel from accessoryjack but i've been told it doesn't come with the basic accessory as it should such as the leaf to feed him. Anyone care to share they're experience with them please?
Thanks
-
I believe that was originally the case with Accessoryjack, but that they now supply the basic accessory pack as they should. Best to email them to confirm that before ordering, though. Good luck!
