Today we will be explaining things about the Leo Valdez PJOmetronic, which is worth exactly two Franks. Just kidding, all of our PJOmetronics each cost twelve drachmas, except for some of the sets we're selling. (Like the Percabeth set for only fifteen, or the Big Three set for only twenty-five, twenty-two if you order now.)

But anyway, let's get on with the show.

Overview

Your Leo PJOmetronic will include the following:

1. One Leo Valdez, Son Hephaestus

2. One Hephaestus Cabin

3. One Build-It-Yourself Festus Kit (This is for Leo to make, not you.)

4. One Build-It-Yourself-Argos II Set (Again, this is for Leo)

Now, the first thing that will happen when you open your box is that Leo will immediately want to start building something. That's what the two sets are for. He'll probably spend most of his time working on them and only come out for a few moments. He'll also want a 'secret lair'. You should probably just get a cardboard box in order to save money.

Now, the first thing that you should know is that Leo will get bored from his sets very quickly. He will demand parts and you'll probably be making several trips to Radio Shack in order to get them. However, you need to draw some lines with the inventing. Do not let your Leo get his hands on dangerous building materials like Greek Fire, Water from the River Styx, Plutonium, Neptunium, etc. no matter how much he begs and/or cries. (Trust us; he does a whole lot of both.)

Not only that, but you need to tell him about the stuff that he can't touch. People have complained that they've found that their Leo PJOmetronic has taken apart their toaster or IPhone. There was this incident involving a toilet, but we'd prefer not to have to tell you about that.

Also, watch out for fires as well as renegade automatrons. Even though they are small, they will pack a punch, like the other PJOmetronics. You should also add your local firefighters to your Christmas list, because you'll end up relying on them a lot. (You should probably double your fire insurance too and make sure it covers fires caused by renegade PJOmetronics.)

Aside from all of these minor inconveniences though, you and your Leo PJOmetronic will probably get along famously. You know, if you manage to forgive him for all of the pranks and booby traps that he'll probably set up. But that's just another story.

Troubleshooting:

Flirtation: Your Leo will not be overly sad if he doesn't have much company, though you probably should buy a Jason or Piper PJOmetronic as well. But the thing is, it appears that Leo needs to flirt. No really, it's as if it's an actual biological need. This will become worse if all he sees around him are happy couples. Note that Leo doesn't actually want to be in a relationship, he's cool with being rejected all the time. So a Thalia or Reyna PJOmetronic are good for this.

Crazy Babysitter Syndrome: If you ever have to go out DO NOT leave Leo with a babysitter. Especially not an old woman. He goes completely berserk at this for some odd, unknowable reason which we haven't figure out yet.
