Title: Stores in N.Y
Post by: Sandwich on October 28, 2011, 04:51:34 PM: Hey everybody my first post ! Sorry, it's not very interesting... ☺ in fact French peoples cant buy pleo rb... :( and the TVA ("taxe sur la valeur ajoutée" please cruwella in English :D) is very EXPENSIVE in the case of an import from USA. But I'll go to new York city soon...!!! I just want to know if peoples who live there know stores where I can by my rb -dream- :)
Thanks
Pierre (or Peter ?!)

Hmm.. well, I don't live in NY, but I'm fairly certain that there are no stores where you can buy a pleo rb. :( I believe you can only order them online. How long will you be in New York? Maybe you could order one while you're there? :)
I hope you will be able to achieve your dream, pleo rb's-and ugobes- are so wonderful. ;)
J'espère que tout fonctionne!

I don't believe they are selling the Pleo RB in stores in the US yet I'm afraid - I think you can still only get them from the PleoWorld website. There has been talk recently of a European distributor setting up in the near future, though. I'll try to find out what is happening. :)

C'est très sympathique !
In fact I'll stay in NYC for 1 week this time :S I don't know if I should try online shopping... ? I'll be very very angry if the pleo arrived after my come back in France !!!! (ou dans la merde comme on dit vulgairement en Français !!!)
@Cruwella
What would I do without your translations ?!! Lol :D

EDIT: I know that robopolis (a very famous robotics store in France) will sell pleo rb but I don't know when... Not soon I think ! It's very strange now all robotics things are sell on the net... There are no more shops now...
