(...) There's no denying it's sad. IMO a better word is pathetic. I'm thankful that, as Steve put it, the stickers aren't pre-applied. As has been stated before, parts is parts. It's too bad that we have to look at certain sets that way without (...) (26 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yeah, well, like has been said, I think the stickers came from some airline wanting a cheaper deal. Steve (26 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Why not just use it san-stickers as a cargo jet? There certainly aren't very many of those about. Jeff (26 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) That's a good idea. It looks like a great little set for white pieces, especially for thin walls. I imagine a couple of folks could also use it to add to their own Ice Planet MOC's. I don't have nearly enough special pieces in white. -Tom McD. (26 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

It's OK for parts, but it is nothing like, oh, #6375, the Trans-Air Carrier. Now that was a cargo plane! :) Scott Sanburn (...) (26 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

Scott, Actually, if you compare 2532 to 6375, they're not much different. The cargo version has more wheels and engines, but the fuselage is almost identical (including the hinged roof opening). [shrug] Gene (...) (26 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

Well, I have two #6375, and the color scheme was great. It also has two mini vehicles, the forklift and the little car. The cargo logos were "printed" on the parts, and the back of the plane folded out to put cargo in the back. The side of the (...) (26 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

Scott, I guess what I was most referring to was the size and the hinged roof being almost identical. Since I don't have 6375 and haven't opened 2532, I can't really comment on anything other than a comparison of the cover art. Gene (...) (26 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

Gene & All, I am not saying 2532 is a bad set, it is OK for parts. But compared to earlier sets, such as 6375, 1818 (Another airline special set, by the way!), even #6368 (The first year the airplane windows came out, 1985, I believe), 2532 is a bad (...)
