Too late - looks like all the £22.49 ones have gone now - back up to £35.86 now on Amazon UK

Amazon UK currently have Lego City 3661 Bank and Money Transfer at £22.49 - That's nearly half the usual Lego advertised price of £41.99 (which incidentally is currently out of stock on Lego.com UK)

Great modular - Hate to point out though that Jewellery has 2 L's and 3 E's in it.

Many thanks for sharing - can't wait to get my hands on this set!

Absolutely fantastic. The detail is awesome. I especially liked some of the rooms, like the hospital, nursery and my favorite, The "Poseidon Adventure" room, complete with fixed chairs on the ceiling and an upside down Xmas tree!!

On the actual TV coundown, when they revealed Nintendo at no.4 they specifically talked about Super Mario Brothers. I've watched it back on 4OD and its not that clear if they are talking about the console or the actual game. Channel 4 "Greatest" lists never give an accurate reflection of what is most popular (apart from Lego of course!) I didn't vote for this list but I have voted previously and they normally have a pre-selected list that you can choose from, so really this is only a coundown of the pre-selected list chosen by Channel 4.

Here is a list of the entire top 100 - I've included some descriptions for some toys that were possibly not that popular outside of the UK 100 Boxing Robots 99 Teletubbies 98 Holly Hobby (rag doll) 97 Ben 10 96 Major Matt Mason (action figure) 95 Bratz 94 Peter Powell Kites (70’s kite manufacturer) 93 Pippa (doll - smaller version of Barbie) 92 Striker / Super Striker (table football soccer) 91 Beyblades 90 Johnny 7 (60’s toy gun) 89 Clackers (2 plastic balls on a piece of string!) 88 Trouble (60’s game with popomatic dice) 87 Cyberman Voice Change Helmet (2006 – from Dr Who) 86 Magna Doodle 85 Stretch Armstrong 84 Tickle Me Elmo 83 Crossfire (70’s football with guns and marbles) 82 Girls World (make-up mannequin head) 81 Stylophone (70’s miniature electronic organ) 80 Trolls 79 Weebles 78 Cabbage Patch Kids 77 Simon (70’s light sequence electronic game) 76 Polly Pocket 75 Escape From Colditz (70’s board game) 74 Furby 73 Six Million Dollar Man (action figure) 72 Beanie Babies 71 Buzz Lightyear 70 Power Rangers 69 Buckaroo 68 Tiny Tears (crying doll) 67 Sindy (British version of Barbie) 66 Hula Hoop 65 Tracy Island (Thunderbirds) 64 Hungry Hippos 63 Evel Knievel Stunt Bike 62 Mr Potato Head 61 James Bonds Aston Martin Car 60 Care Bears 59 Ker-Plunk 58 My Little Pony 57 Space Hopper 56 Tonka Toys 55 Game Of Life 54 Tamagotchi 53 Super Soaker (water pistol) 52 Operation (electronic doctor’s game) 51 Slinky 50 Playmobile 49 Yahtzee (dice game) 48 Mastermind (code guessing peg game) 47 Barbie 46 Chopper (70’s bicycle) 45 Pictionary 44 Frisbee 43 Jenga 42 Fuzzy Felt 41 Sylvanian Families 40 Mouse Trap (board game) 39 Hot Wheels 38 Battleship (code game) 37 Pokeman Trading Cards 36 Twister 35 Chemistry set 34 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 33 Yo-yo 32 Top Trumps (card game) 31 Roller Skate 30 Risk (world domination board game) 29 Spirograph (circular drawing tool) 28 Subbuteo (table soccer game) 27 Plasticine 26 Play-Doh 25 Atari 24 Rubik Cube 23 Teddy Bear 22 Etch-a-Sketch 21 Matchbox Cars 20 Action Man (UK version of GI Joe) 19 Airfix 18 Connect 4 17 Hornby Train Sets 16 Meccano 15 Cluedo 14 He-Man (homo-erotic action figure) 13 X-Box 12 Transformers 11 Star Wars Toys 10 Game Boy 9 Trivial Pursuit 8 Scalextric 7 Scrabble 6 Playstation 5 Nintendo Games Consoles 4 Wii 3 Dungeons & Dragons 2 Monopoly 1 Lego

Barbie and Hot Wheels were way down the list, although both toys are very American and this was a UK poll

Like we didn't already know it, but Channel 4 in the UK has just done the countdown of the 100 Greatest Toys, and Lego has come out at No.1! Monopoly was second.

1970 - 1979 It was actually 1979 and I had the 675 snack bar set Unfortunately I no longer own it as I sold most of my early Lego sets on e-bay about 6 years ago

Don't worry, they're only plastic!

Very sick but absolutely fantactic at the same time. Building is great and some good attention to detail. Love the use of the snakes for the animal guts, and the pigs hanging from the hooks! Need I say more!

Road sweepers usually have the driver sit on the opposite side of the cab than normal vehicles so they can see the kerb as they are sweeping.

Great review - this is a very nice set, I would have loved this when I was 10 but I'm not sure yet if I will add it to my collection. Some of the details in the review and the close ups are excellent so many thanks for posting

Great review - thanks for that. I've ordered mine from Lego.com, along with a few other things, which should hopefully arrive soon!

Lego.com are offering double VIP points up to 20th June - That equates to 10% off your next purchase (i.e Spend £50, get 100 VIP points = £5 off next purchase)

2 points to no.17 (Clown) by Redcross 1 point to no.50 (Crash Test Dummy) by Oky Wan

Great review - I love these smaller impulse sets. A different coloured dog would have been nice though.

Lego City Truck is now available on Amazon.co.uk for only £19.99 - Thats £10 cheaper than on the UK's Toys'r'us website and you can get free delivery if you are prepared to wait a little longer! I don't understand how there can be such a price difference for the same item.

I have just noticed that Toys R Us in the UK has the airport, passenger plane and the Lego truck available to buy from their website (All 4 new train sets are also available)

I have just noticed that Toys R Us in the UK have all of the new train sets available to buy from their website

I spent about 20 minutes in WHSmiths in Sheffield this afternoon sorting through the minifigure packets with my Barcode list. I managed to get a full set of 16, plus a couple of extra zombies, clowns, cheerleaders and an extra robot. The guy in the shop was really pleasant and I checked with him first to see if it was ok for me to go through the whole box. I love them all and can't wait for series 2 to come out later in the year.

Many thanks

Great work - the shape of the tanker is great - love the mudflaps and the ladder up the side of the tanker
