It took maybe 10 minutes to put this item together on Christmas Eve. There were more parts than I had expected and the plane was also larger than I had expected but this turned out to be perfect for little hands to fit down inside of. The wheels roll and turn Very smoothly. The plastic is heavy duty and will not be breaking in our lifetime. While the wheels occasionally come off during a 'crash' and sometimes the tail has fallen off, I believe this is what keeps the toy from really breaking. It's a good design and the kids 3&5 can usually put it back together themselves. The top comes off, the side door opens and there is a luggage compartment in the back.

We bought this private jet, the 5811, and the larger model 4310 commercial jet for our twin 4-year-old sons, as well as the airline terminal, tower, and some accessory pieces. They absolutely LOVE the whole set, but they especially love the planes. They are so realistic and spark our boys' imaginations! The private jet is about 2/3 the size of the commercial jet and is a bit easier for the boys to hold for pretend flying; however, they do sometimes fight over the larger one simply because it is larger.

Note that the plane does take a good 30 minutes or more to put together, so I recommend assembling it BEFORE your child sees it. (We wrapped empty boxes for them to open and then surprised them with the assembled toys).

The only flaw, which most other customers have also noted, is that the wheels and the tail wing tend to pop off too easily. It's easy to put back on, but I wish Playmobil had given this more thought. The boys don't care though and I simply pop them back on whenever this happens, which is at least daily. Fortunately, the private jet seems to have less of this problem than the commercial jet, which has more pieces to pop off. All in all, I am very glad to have purchased this and our boys are getting lots of great pretend play out of them. PS...These products are considerably cheaper on Playmobil's website. Hopefully, Amazon starts selling this instead of 3rd party stores, so we customers can get free shipping AND good prices!

My 3 1/2 yr old granddaughter wanted an 'airplane' for Christmas (grandpa's a pilot). After a fair amount of shopping around, this looked like a good bet. I think it is. Toy is made from appears to be pretty durable plastic parts. Top of the fuselage comes off, allowing child to play with pilot and Texas oilman passenger in airplane. One note of caution: plane comes in parts and must be assembled. Graphic assembly instructions are large and clear, but assembly is complex enough that an adult will be required to do the assembly. Presumably one who has some aptitude at using graphic instructions.
