I got another airplane from GeminiJets and wheel fell out and used sesame seed as a replacement
So I got the airplane yesterday, it is a Boeing 737 MAX 8 and the airline is United Airlines. One of the wheel fell out and I lost it so I used sesame seed as a replacement

Where did you buy the plane. I would have just exchanged it, but that's just me.

Nah, GeminiJets planes have been known to break pretty often, though it could really be any model plane manufacturer, plus the shipping process might have been flawed in some way. But GJ seems to have a knack with this problem.

NOTE: the video might be overdramatic, but it does get the point across.

Yes, I have had those issues myself. Back in the days when I was able to buy them from the store, I'd inspect them at the store to make sure they were in one piece before I made the purchase, and if there was an issue, I'd ask them to bring out another. I did this enough times to the point where the one guy will just bring out multiple planes, just so he wouldn't have to run back to grab a new one if I did happen to find an issue with one. Fortunately, I haven't had an issue with the few that I did order online, although I haven't really bought any lately because they haven't released anything I want these days. Mind you I have over 100 of them.

Fair point, same here. I've been waiting for them to re-release the Delta A319 and A320-200 in 1:400 scale. It'd also be cool if they could do a DC-9-50 mould and a 767-400ER mould. Those are like the 2 biggest gaps in the GeminiJets lineup.
