Vintage Fisher Price Little People
#2502 Airport
Complete/EXC++ (F)

Here for your consideration is an AWESOME Fisher Price Little People Airport (#2502). Manufactured between 1986-90, this set is 100% COMPLETE with all of its original pieces and is in EXC++ condition!
The set consists of a one piece building that features an attached control tower, ticket window, gift shop, restrooms, and passenger drop off area. The passenger drop off area has a red barricade that can be lowered to regulate the traffic flow. The roof has a crank that when you turn it, the blades of the helicopter spin and the brown red screen rotates.
All of the EXTERIOR and INTERIOR lithos are bright, and crisp without any stains and marks. The ONLY "imperfections" I can spy are:
1. Some minor edge wear on the front corners of the Air Traffic Controller lithos (e.g. between the boy and girl as well as between the boy and the dog) and one, teensy tear on the lower edge of the same litho;
2. Some light soiling, some crinkling of the upper right hand corner, and one, narrow intermittent vertical crease on the main Fisher Price logo;
3. Some tiny, scattered bubbles on the bathroom litho; and
4. One, barely perceptible, vertical hairline crease on the Gift Shop litho.
I'm being super "nit-picky." I don't want any of my customers to be disappointed by their purchases from me. I believe the light soiling will be eliminated with a thorough, Q-tip cleaning. Overall, I would rate the INTERIOR and EXTERIOR lithos as being in EXC condition.
Other than some light soiling, a few marks, and a 5/8" L discoloration of the green plastic driveway, the plastic surfaces still possess their original bright coloration. Once again, I believe the soiling and marks will be re-mediated during the cleaning process. I cannot detect any cracks, abrasions, breaks, or chips. All of the moving parts operate as designed. In addition, there are NO CRACKS at the base of the radar screen and the original gas pump hose and nozzle are present and FREE of any chews! The red barricade arm is slightly bent but there are no stress fractures etc. on the barricade arm. In my opinion, the plastic surfaces of this base are in EXC++ condition.
The majority of this set's accessories are just as nice as the base or better. Notable exceptions include:
1. 1 VHTF yellow/orange/white jet with a replacement pull string (door does NOT stay closed during aerial maneuvers. I will be fixing this so that the door will stay completely shut when in the air. Both tail lithos are fully intact and brightly colored; they display a few minor bubbles or hairline creases but are free of any marks, stains, or tears. The plane itself shows a few extraneous marks but I believe these will come off during the cleaning process. I do NOT see any yellowing around the passenger windows or on the body of the plane. The jet exhibits little, if any, "road wear" on the wheels. Finally, the plane still makes a "whirring" sound when rolled on the floor);
2. 1 VHTF blue/yellow helicopter ("Chews" and or "nibbles" on the rotor blades and right rear rudder on the helicopter as well as on the pump on the HTF fuel car);
3. 2 HTF small orange coffee tables (some light surface scratches);
4. 1 HTF brown captain's chair with a triangle on the back (stress fracture where the right armrest conjoins with the seat; the chair is free of any cracks or breaks; I will be fortifying the armrest using Laser Bond Glue so that it shouldn't cause any future problems); and
5. 1 HTF piece of round, blue luggage (three teensy teeth marks on handle).
Despite these noted "flaws," I would consider the aforementioned accessories to be in VG+-VG++ condition.
Completing this set are the following accessories and Little People, all of which are in EXC++--MINT condition:
4 chocolate brown captain's chairs with triangles
1 VHTF square brown luggage
1 HTF blue/yellow tug tractor
1 HTF yellow luggage cart
1 white/green two seater car with luggage rack
and 7 all plastic characters. These include:
1 VHTF tall, light blue flight attendant with blonde hair
1 VHTF short, blue bodied, Caucasian pilot
1 tall, blue bodied African-American pilot
1 HTF tall, green bodied Dad with black molded hair
1 tall, blue bodied Mom with blonde pony
1 VHTF short, yellow bodied boy with brown molded hair and
1 VHTF short, blue bodied girl with brown sculpted hair
I will be thoroughly cleaning this set with a myriad of cleaning products and a child's toothbrush, toothpicks, and Q-tips. This airport and all of its accessories will be spotless and ready to go! All you will need to do is unpack the set and play with it or put it on display:)
This would make a FABULOUS Fisher Price play set for a beginning Fisher Price Collector or some lucky child!!! What a great piece to have at Grandma's house when the grandchildren come to visit.
NOTE: These VINTAGE Fisher Price play sets were manufactured in the USA. They are NOT a part of the recent recall of Fisher Price toys that were manufactured in China and contained excess lead. Due to some of the small pieces, these toys should not be given to a child under 3 years of age or one who is still mouthing their toys.

This particular base and its accessories weighs @4 lbs. UNWRAPPED. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
I'm finding Fed Ex Home Delivery has been running @33% cheaper than the USPS Priority rates---especially for over-sized packages, those over 5 lbs. in weight, or those traveling longer distances. In order to ship via Fed EX, I MUST HAVE A RESIDENTIAL OR WORK PLACE ADDRESS, NOT A P.O. BOX NUMBER. I MUST ALSO HAVE A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER (HOME, CELL, OR WORK PLACE PHONE NUMBER). Otherwise, Fed Ex will not accept your package for delivery.
