About the Lego nobs, how dirty do they get through use? I would imagine that they would get black rims or something of this sort.

I've never experienced any of the conditions you described. If the knobs were to get nasty it would be very easy to remove the case and wash in warm soapy water and a brush. Hope this helps!

The tires are shiny like plastic, and quite hard, but I think they're actually rubber. My fingernails can make a slight indentation, which they won't do on plastic. Also, they don't seem to skid on hard floors.

I have not let my kids put anything inside of it yet (other than toys they have thrown in there and we had to shake them out). We've had this truck for 3 years and my boys still love it, very durable. I am thinking since we've had it for so long that this spring I will let it be a sand box toy. But I think it would take a water hose to get all the sand out of the cement barrel. At that point may just stay a sand box toy.

I use them very lightly for the same reason. More specifically, I rarely take it out of my room. lol Therefore, I do not know about yellowing and getting dirty very much, at least until now.However, the reason I am careful about it is due to the same worries. I presume the wares will happen, but I personally would not mind that for this thing looks way better than the other black or metal ones, in my opinion.I had chrome but got it stolen. So, I bought this one.I am sorry I cannot directly answer your questions, I should say, the pearl looks the best. lol Hope this helped, I use them very lightly for the same reason.

I bought mine in end of March this year and they are air filled tires,othervise I wouldn't buy them. This,hand break and low gravity center were the 3 main things I wanted to have for my little boy. The bicycle is great. He's riding it less than 3 months and already started to do a bit of cross on some rocks, stairs and similar. He's so happy with it,and me too. Completly fylfiled my expectations. :-D

Interesting, because I just bought some Lego Friends for my girls (which they won't open until Christmas), and I, too, HOPE they'll work for it. I do know that it works for the regular lego blocks/characters that come in the blue containers and small gray containers, so I don't see why Friends wouldn't. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

My granddaughter treats her Hot Wheels as one of her most valuable items that she has. I bought her this and wasn't really quite sure if would be something to protect her Hot Wheels when she was bring them to friends to play. She has never voiced that any of them were damaged or scratched while carrying them. I am sure she would have done so if she found a scratch or damage. But, that is only one persons view. You might continue to check on other's comments.

Yes. Mine do, but with enough riding and use of rim breaks, they get dirty fast.

I have not experienced any issues with odor and no paint chipping. My granddaughter plays with these regularly without any issues or concerns.

If I remember correctly, the wheels had to go on after it was put together. Which would mean that you could leave them off. You might want to get some sort of rubber tip for each leg so the metal doesn't scratch the floor.

Nope. They are really beautifully hand painted/glazed. Have mind about 1 1/2 years now, and never had any problems.

There are caps on the outside of the wheel, but the inside has an exposed bolt. It still car mar walls or base boards. I have not had a problem with firniture.

I really need to see a photo to know exactly what you are trying to say.. When I cut off my corners, my boys played with them putting dents in them and they would watch them pop out and at times they would pound them out with a rubber mallet... Also when cutting the corners, slow up because I had the plastic protector underneath and I had my brother watch so I would not cut into it. I would recommend having an extra set of eyes out there when doing this project. I hope this helps.. James

I just went out in my 8 below zero garage and checked. The rims are plastic, and the tires are "balloon tires" not plastic wheels; they have air valves for refilling if they happen to get low. I still have 4-5 feet of snow on the ground, and I may not get the opportunity to use my spreader until May.Bob-North Smithfield, RI

They are soft enough for playing on (playing like standing and sitting, not like wrestling and falling), and certainly don't pose any hazards as far as breaking or damaging them. If properly put together they won't slide apart and leave exposed concrete or something. They are slightly textured which might be a disadvantage for use of toys like cars and things.My only real concern would be with their chemical make up. I'm not a chemist or a biologist so I can't speak to any chemical hazards associated with them. I would think they would be safe, but they do probably contain some plastic or petro chemical.

The island is pretty heavy & sturdy, more like a permantly placed piece at least in my opinion. I think wheels would detract from the overall appearance if this island. I have the black one.

If they got squished between a tire and a hard enough surface, they'd degrade quickly, definitely squish, possibly explode. The crystals feel like Jello when they're saturated; I think you'd just be making expensive mud.
