There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The wheel is also very light - much lighter than I expected, which means that it does not gather much momentum, and so does not look as magic as some other models. It moves quick and light, there and back; you can't really feel that it travels back on it's own, despite the gravity, in a strange way, as it happens with more heavy, more quickly-rotating, and slow-moving wheels. Nevertheless, it works.
The biggest problem of the toy though is with the plastic thing in the handle that holds two rails together and parallel. On the 2nd day it break off, and although I glued it twice already, still kids manage to tear it apart regularly.
