Okay this is my review and this sis my second PM setI bought this set because it looked better than the rock wrecker however..When I opened the giant box I saw empty space and more empty space. And then out of the emptyness I saw 3 bags. The bags were even oversized and mostly filled with air. I immediatly thought this was something bad...really bad.The built was easy ,really easy, no maybe too easy. nothing challenging really boring and ultra fast.The final model containes two power miners (those are cool) and a giant red rock monster (that one is also cool) and the cave crusher. Well the model is cool to look at but really is skinny, as you maybe already know is that the weels easily lock when the vehicle is turned. the saw blade(s) however are cool and the small mining thingy at the back , and those nice red crystals!final judgement Price:3/10minifigs:5/10building:2/10 (well for a 50 euro set I expect a little more)play: 6/10OVERALL:4/10 Okay is I were you I would buy another set, like the cool crystal king or the brute force rock wrecker, but really even if you are a die hard PM fan I wouldn't recommending this set to anyone.this is the first time in years I'm dissapointed with lego
I think lego could improve this one a bit. Structure: Well, overall, this one does need a little more engineering.the saw blade catapult worked well, so do the two in the front, but the rest would go better if it took more engineering on these certain parts.For example,if you tried to turn this veichle around a tight curve, the wheels would get stuckand the veichle would go to a complete hault.The mining station in the back otherwise is NOT easy to take off (at least not without taking the white claw piece off with it)! minifigs:Well, the are at least better than the structure of the cave crusher!This set comes with Duke, a scarred guy, and the metal plate guy.It also comes with a big Tremorox rock monster! So...I will give this set a 3/5.
As an Argos exclusive hear in merry old England, I was expecting something worth my £40. This unfortunatly is not the case with this set. Once constructed you realise it is tailored more fo £25-30. Still having said that there are some good things to mention. First of all the design of the cave crusher; two articulation points which Ive never seen before on a lego vehicle. The beeft wheels work well on caprpet, but will slide off anything smooth.The mining station is a neat idea. although when stored on the vehicle one questions as to how you are suppose to lower it. some kind of crane winch woulda been nice to see...The figs a great as is the red uber rock monster. Im personally more interested in the mining gear than the monsters, and am glad it comes with two miners. although the second one has no where to sit which is a shame; he is completely exposed to the elements!So here it is:Pros:- Nice design, especially when looking from the front.- Dual Spinning blades.- The massive wheels!- The mining platform.- Two Miners.- Uber rock throwing monster!- Useful parts.Cons:- When turning, wheels will lock up into each other. Come on Lego, how is this exceptable?!- lack of cab detail...only a steering wheel?!- Somewhat skinny for a £40 vehicle.- The box is stupidly big and long for a medium sized model.- Over priced, even for a 'special' release.My suggestions to anyone tempted is only get this if you are a devoted fan to the power miners theme. if not, you may be disapointed!
I bought this in impluse after seeing it in the new Argos catalogue, and paid £40 for it. I'm very rarely disappointed after spending money on LEGO but in this case I have to say that I am and I can't really recommend this set to anyone but Power Miners completists.Sure, it looks good on the box (that's why I bought it) but once it's made its a big disappointment. It's articlulated in two places so the three wheelsets move independently. At least they are supposed to. Unfortunately the design is such that if you turn the vehicle too sharply or try and reverse it, the wheels touch, bind, and the thing grinds to a halt. I'm sure I've seen solutions to this on other models so it's a shame they didn't implement one of them here.Pros:- Comes with a large rock monster in red- Good concept, and it looks good as a static model on the shelf- 2 PM minifigsCons:- Poor design limits playability- Very expensive for what it is- A lot of the volume of plastic in the box is in the 6 wheels, each made of 2 of the parts used in the drills on other PM sets.
