Tri-ang Minic Harbour Parts, 1:1200 scale, designed for use with Minic Ships.

Although harbours and docks might not nowadays seem like an exciting subject for a construction toy, the Minic Ships harbour parts executed the idea so well, with a combination of authenticity and modularity that even for children (or adults) without much interest in real docks, the system scored highly on playability. Like Britains Garden (and the subsequent Britains Floral Garden), it was a niche idea implemented so thoroughly that it wasn't worth anyone's while trying to produce a similar product.
