It had a few when it first started, though it wasn't many.. I don't
think more than any of the other boxes when they started, I believe
Larry did a great job splitting them up between the boxes! I know I took
a few wheels out of a couple of boxes though I didn't add any to it.. I
tend not to buy things with wheels.. Unless they are "wooden" ones :)
Speaking of which... if there are any large brown "wooden" wheels in the
box you can send em my way :)
