I saw reviews on Amazon that said the same thing - the wheels do not stay on well.It would be a nice toy if the wheels and their support strut/system was sturdy.It hurts to see my son so disappointed in this toy.

This plane looks great and feels great. My problem is that bits fall of a bit too easily when played with. Still looks and feels great though.

I bought this as a birthday gift and have not given it to my grandson for his birthday yet (birthday is in May) but from what I see it is very sturdy and colorful and lookes like it will hold up for a while. I think it will bring out his imaginary skills for lots of fun.
