Although SOME people think this set stinks because of it having only 12 pieces, I think it's still nice. When you can get a chance to fling rock monsters (and maybe fling them far), why would you pass up this set?Overall - This set is good, the flinging is fun, and you get a green rock monster. Cool, right?P.S. Did I mention flinging? :P
This set has a grand total of 12 parts! I bought this set simply for the Rock Monster. It does launch like it shows on the package which is a cool play feature but you get what you see with this set. Not even any extra parts. I now have 5 of these little Rock Monsters so if I want to make a Power Miners scene I have the Rock Monsters to do so.
My friend got me this set along with the rock hacker when he went to Legoland California last week. I love this set! The catapult function actually works! If you hit it hard enough, the rockmonster or whatever you're catapulting can go up to 7 feet! Maybe farther! Pros : The catapult works!Sulfurix rockmonster included!Yellow crystal!3 2x3 slanted bricks!There are extra pieces! Tons of 'em!Cons : WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD THIS SET HAVE CONS?!?!?!?!?!?! Lego made it, thus it's perfect!Overall rating : 100/10
I felt this set was lacking some thing. One thing that could of improve the set would of been another crystal and maybe a plate for the catapult. I got the 8907 Rock Hacker at the same time as this set and I think the 8907 Rock Hacker is the better of the two. The only reason I think anyone would get this set is for the Rock Monster. But if you combine this set with the 8907 Rock Hacker it is a better deal than the 8956 Stone Chopper. (I am assuming you can still get this set. It was found only at Target Stores for the 2009 fall quarter.)
I give this a five, we just got 2 sets from target(one for each of my sons 5&6yrs old) and they enjoy it so much! The little catapult can be used with the other lego bricks as launcher, really cool for a reasonable price $2.99. You can only buy it from Target, it's only sulfurix (green rock monster) no other colors available.
