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

Battery life is around two hours, You can find loads more useful tidbits of information in our FAQ :) http://bobthepleo.com/forums/index.php?topic=2315.0
Pleoworld to here is pretty fast, I've had Pleo's arrive in as little as three days. Hehe it is a new baby ;)

I am also new here and eagerly waiting for my first Pleo.
Please, let him come soon :pray:
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. :dino-chase:
I suspect, I caught a new disease "Pleoitis"

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...? :cat: @< P:'( P:D :) 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.....? ;D 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.

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.

She's definitely a little beauty and acts like she knows it too. Can't wait till she starts wandering around more. She is already testing her legs, stretching them out into funny positions.
I love how she snuggles to me when I hold her. They have definitely got the coding right.. You can't help but love the little buggers

I noticed some peeling paint on one of her front legs. Knew this might happen but didn't expect it after only two days. She is now wearing the lovely brown cape until I can make something more fitting :)
