Random set of the day: Holiday Jet (Iberia Version)
Posted by Huwbot,
Today's random set is 4032 Holiday Jet (Iberia Version), released in 2003. It's one of 28 World City sets produced that year. It contains 151 pieces and 3 minifigs.
It's owned by 17 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you might find it for sale at BrickLink or eBay.

The Price is Right losing horn intensifies...
I feel like an oddly-high percentage of these sets have been random sets of the day, in the past.
Timmy’s back
On the bright side, we only have 5 of the 13 versions of this thing left to go.
Regardless of how many times this shows up, it still impresses me how decent this plane looks for only 151 pieces.
Oh god no it's back, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready for the plane
@Mr__Thrawn:
I mean, one of these is gonna succeed in taking him out eventually, right? Uh...I mean, look out, Timmy!
Crickey, owned by 17 members?!

Perhaps it's appropriate that there 13 of these.
You know, several of these parts would be rare if it weren't for the 13 identical copies of this set. Pity since our stats are boring again.
Unique: None
Rare: None
The medium blue suitcase is nice
I’ve run out of clever things to say I’ve seen this set so many times...
This is (with 60104) one of the few instances with a believable winglet design, it is either just a lazy slope brick now (see 60022 or 60262) or omitted altogether (like 3182 7894 and 41109).

@Galaxy12_Import:
You know, they all have the same set number, which means they are effectively the same set excluding the sticker sheet.
Lego in 2003: "We are losing marketshare and profitability, teetering on bankruptcy. What can we do differently?"
Also Lego in 2003: "Haha set 4032 with 13 different sub-variants go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Huwbot sure does like these sets
@Mr__Thrawn and @PurpleDave :
(Look at the 'aftermath', shake my head, turn it to left and putting hand by mouth yell):
"We're gonna' need another Timmy... "
("Dinosaurs" was really underrated as series, esp. by the end)
This set gets seriously undermined by its promo-pic. I mean: the plane isn't bad, though the jets should but on the sides of the fuselage/body (as per a Learjet and such). And the figures are good, for the time period...
I had a super witty comment about how unimpressive this set is and was ready to post it until I realized this was the “Iberia version” and therefore had to abandon said witty remark.
Even if all the other versions suck, this Iberia plane is legit y’all. I can’t even pretend it’s not far and away the best of all the the holiday jets.
I’m sure these used to at least have different colours from each other when they popped up. The last few versions all seem to have been grey

Which pieces would be unique or rare not counting the 12 other versions of this set?
Downside: We've seen this RSOTD again and again and again and again…
Upside: The thought of Timmy getting sucked into a jet engine grows more appealing every time.
@AllenSmith: Problem with that is he's too big to get sucked in. He'd just get pinned against the front.
IBERIA VERSION
I’m still waiting for the “Lego Air” version to be on RSOTD.
It’s the only one I’ve got, and has a really nice tail sticker.
(Mine strangely came with TWO sticker sheets!)
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, Huwbot?
I've been looking forward to this.
How many random planes are there?

Thirteen, I believe. And according to @MCLegoboy , this is the eighth one to have been featured as RSOTD.
Bye, Timmy!
(Quick, someone lock the door and turn off the lights...)
