The 'Complete Pier' models are fairly uncommon compared to most of the other harbour models produced.

- M882: Beacon.
- M884: Statue of Liberty. This model is also fairly uncommon and was also found in the SS United States box set.
- M885: Floating Dry Dock.
- M880: Whale. The whale is quite a rare model and came in either blue or grey of which we have the grey version. The Whale model also served another purpose in that when a Helicopter model was needed for the HMS Albion Commando Ship model the whale was used with a propeller from M783: HMS Hampshire nailed to it's head!
When is a whale not a whale? When it's a helicopter.
