I can think of a couple of reasons they didn't use any of their different designs to include the middle wheels...the gold finish would have worn away with continuous use if they had used the spring loaded kind, and the other kind with the removable fake wheel piece that screws off to open would have also have worn off, and would have been very brittle too...I suppose they could have just molded completely fix wheels and just painted them gold, but it may have come off looking cheesey...idk but I am glad they didn't!!
Play nice & have fun!!
