My son is two and consumed with all types of vehicles and machinery. The airport is the ultimate fascination. We fly to visit family and to take most vacations. Southwest has been our primary airline and he recognizes it easily. However he wanted the particular vehicle that pushed the airplane back from the gate. The pull tug or plane tug. After searching a few hours on the internet and eliminating life size equipment, this plane set was the only set that had a plane tug. You may not be able to tell in the packaging...it is not listed well. after receiving it and opening the set, there is a plane tug!

The finishing touches on the plane is poor and unacceptable. The plastic decorative cover peels very easily and is not safe for small kids.

I wanted this just for display since I'm collecting Southwest memorabilia. I was pretty disappointed with the quality of this set. The stickers are cheaper than cheap and will probably fall off with even a little handling. If you give this to a child you might as well take the stickers off so they don't eat them. However, I bought this just to display and for that purpose it looks great!

I purchased 2 sets for my 4 year old twins. They love SW airlines and could not wait to open these. The accessories were fabulous for them to create their own airport scenes.

My only complaint is that on both airplanes one of the tail wings broke off. We've tried to fix them with superglue, but have not had any luck. Otherwise, they have with stood hours of play and the kids still get tons of enjoyment out of them.

Eleven dollars of instant misery for our three year old. Wings are constructed of weak plastic that broke within 20 minutes of use. "Paint" is actually cheap decals that will peel off in no time. A disappointment because we assumed a "die cast" plane would be like every other die cast plane we've seen in our life -- i.e. made of metal. This is a plastic plane with a bit of metal.

This toy is a fairly good one. The stickers basically ruin the appeance of the 737, ant the ones on the bus look even worse. The vehicles are not to scale, niether are the signs. definetly don't buy for anyone 7+ because they will be dissapointed. Under 7, they will be perfectly happy.

We work for Airtran/Southwest so these planes are available to us in the airport. We have a 2.5 year old boy who loves airplanes and knows daddy & mommy fly them. It is a great size for little hands and very detailed just like the real 737. Yes, the tail does break off, the wing tips have broken off and the nose gear has broken off. Landing gear is still holding on and I'm not sure how. The logos are cheap stickers that peel off easily-within a week or so but don't let that discourage you from buying it-the kid doesn't care if the logo is on there! He flies it around the house and makes takeoff noises. He clutches it when we go to restaurants and makes it fly off everything in sight. He makes everything a runway with this plane. For the amount of abuse this plane goes through I think to have lost just the tips is pretty good. Our plane get thrown in the same toy bin as the metal hot wheels and it is his favorite go to toy. He has a few of these and I said I would just replace it when it got too bad but I haven't had to yet. Once the stickers begin to peel just go ahead and take it all the way off. I tried to save the sticker and once it's ready to come off the kid won't leave it alone either.

I got this for my grandson and he is enjoying it a lot. He had one like it that I had purchased at the airport, but an other boy broke it and he was very upset. I bought this to make up for his loss and he was delighted. Thank you.

I love it. Excellent packing. Fast free shipping, Brand new item, good price, what more you can ask as a parent. AND My 4 year old son loves it. He love playing with Airplanes, Not just any airplanes, commercial airplanes. I would buy it again in a split of a second.

My grandson loves it. With the other airport set he now sets up his airport and enjoys it alot.
