Hi there all.

HELP!!!!!!!!!

I want to but my 15 year old a Pleo. she has Aspergers so hoping it will give her some company    Ive been looking on ebay and there is one direct from Hong Kong but as im in the UK i dont understand the what extras i will have to pay for import or how i will get it. Has anyone done this please.  I think it will come with a different plug to so will i need something extra to make it work.

Thanks!!!

got a pleo from the exact same seller to get it to england its £35. £25 pounds of that is VAT lol

[Leigh]

Hi thanks!!!

its a joke aint it lol, do you have to pay when it arrives at customs.

[Margery]

Yes.  You pay the courier online.  The extra cost is the handling fee.  Crewella gave me a tip to save time.  Do not wait for invoice to arrive.  Ring the courier once they have the Pleo and arrange payment.

[Crewella]

Yep, it's as Margery says.

I'm not sure what plug those come with, but you'll just need one of those little adapters for the UK 3pin plug, not a full transformer.  They're only cheap.

thats what i did got my pleo a day early

[Leigh]

Thanks for replys.

One more little Q, do the ugobe pleos have joins in ther skin. Someone at my daughters school is selling one but there is a join in the tail, they are saying it came like that

thanks x

[InmemoryofRomeo]

Joins yes, but make sure it isn't a split or crack in the skin.

[Leigh]

Thank you.

It gos all the way round the tail about a third of the way down and looks likes its glued on. Ive tried to look at the pics on here because it was quite obvious so thought i would be able to see, but the pics I found all tails all looked smooth with no joins 

[InmemoryofRomeo]

Yep that is about right, there is one join at the top of the tail and one down near the tip, they are reasonably hard to see except in person.

[Crewella]

Yep, this is a partially unpicked tail seam - there's an overlap so it's easy to stick if they come unstuck.

More details...

Thanks everyone for all your help x

Does anyone know where you get the new ones (reborn I think) if your in uk and how much they are .

[Margery]

Innvo Labs have given the official European distribution rights to Robopolis in France (website:http://www.shop-robopolis.com/index.php/en/new-models.html)  They cost about £410.  (Shipping is about 30 Euros incl in that - check for where you live)

GimmeDigi in Asia sell Blue and Pink Reborns for about £335 incl shipping but members of this forum have posted as having to pay around £80 import duty on top when the package arrives in this country.

£410 pounds !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoop whoop !!!

New arrival this morning bnib ugobe pleo , Dying to have a play but dont think i should Hes not mine). Right i have taken batteries and charger from box and started the process its been charging now for 3 hours and still not green is it dead not tried the other one yet. Im hoping at least one will work as no money left in kitty for more batteries  x

Think this little fella will be lonely so will need a little friend as soon as funds allow lol my other half keeps reminding me its not mine and not to take over on xmas day x

[Margery]

I take it that this a green Ugobe battery?  They take up to 4 hours to charge.  Just checking - the light is a steady red and not flashing?  If it is flashing then the battery is not seated properly and will not be charging.  This information only applies to green Ugobe batteries.

Search the Forum for info on hatching - the new owner will probably appreciate seeing that and it is a one-off.  You'll now be waiting impatiently for Christmas Day!  I hope you all have a great time then with the new arrival.

Please refer to the Pleo FAQ and the battery FAQ

And yes do make sure the battery is properly seated as mentioned above. Usually if the battery is bad the charger goes green straight away so I would be double checking that you have the battery seated properly.

[Crewella]

It can take 4 hours or so - hopefully it has now charged?

Congrats on the new arrival!  

[Leigh]

Hi thanks for all your help x

First one took 4 hours and second took 3 and a half so im hoping this means that they are ok and not dead like some .

[Crewella]

Yay!  That sounds promising, at least!
