It’s not done yet. Items are in no particular order.  I tried really hard to get the info straight, but I can’t guarantee I didn’t make a mistake.  I am still researching the RED stuff.

The links will open a new window for the RoboToys store.  I am not affiliated with them, but have bought most of my Aibo items there and was very happy with their customer service.
