13. Q: I prefer not to purchase products through the internet. What stores (retailers) can I purchase the REAL WHEELS series from?

We suggest you look for our titles at retailers that carry a variety of Children's videos. In the past, Toy's R Us and Suncoast Video have consistently offered our series. In addition, if your local store does not have the REAL WHEELS titles you want, we suggest that you request they order it for you.
