The one-of-a-kind Mine Mech is an experimental mining walker built to go where the other Power Miners vehicles can't. Its enhanced movement and armor make it perfect for exploration and emergency rescues, and its spinning plasma cutter and crushing claw make it more than a match for any rock -- or rock monster! Features spinning saw blade, claw arm, moveable legs to walk or pose model and opening cockpit! Includes miner and rock monster minifigures and accessories! Combine with #8956 Stone Chopper to build the Cave Cutter!

I got this as my third set, it is pretty good.Pros:Drill/cutterClawVery humanlike stancesDouble headed minfigVery unique designBOULDERAX (Only set he's in I think)ToolsExtra space to add more tools (the spare 'x's in the arms or 'shoulders' (if we were referring to it as a human)Cons:Very unstable on carpet (I had to make the legs hold the weight below the main part, which made me have to move the pickaxe to one of the spare spots - why does he have a pickaxe anyway? He has the awesome drill/cutter)Light (Whats with the little exposed bit where it doesnt fit all the way in the top?)Overall: Very good, only few flaws.
My first Power Miners set and now I'm finally getting around to a review. Let's start with the minifigs.Brains: Tis the scientist he is. And you can tell. On the back of his shirt (or body) he has the saw with a test tube symbol. I've noticed these symols are different depending on the character. The front of his body shows blue suspeders and a white, long-sleeve undershirt. And in his pockets he has what appears to be test tubes. His pants are just like everyone else's: A chain and a flashlight painted on. His head shows grey eyebrows and mustache. He also has an odd eyepiece (For close inspections I suppose.) And he has the helmet that everone else has.Boulderax: Average rock monster in only in dark green and also comes with a crystal in the same color. But he's special. This is the ONLY set you can get him in so far if I'm not mistaken. Also a warning for vigorous Lego players. The grey on the rock monsters is just painted on and can chip off. Carefull!Now onto the Mine Mech. This is actually pretty good. But like most power miners sets, a little small for the price. From the bottom up: The feet include the glow-in-the-dark stickers like all of the sets. Not much else, but the are very stable on the ground. Also not much on the legs except the stickers on the "knees' of it. Nice detail on those.The Body has the rollcage with a ligh on it (barraki eye piece if your a bionicle fan.) And it has the 2 on the front meaning it's #2 on the first wave size scale. It has holders for the dynamite and pickaxe, along with two levers for the vehicle controls.On one arm has the "function" where one spins the gear on the back and it spins the orange saw. Not really a function. The other arm has the claw which, sadly, doesn't realy pick up anything that well. The arms are short limiting the range of posability.Overall a nice set. Highly recommended. Pick it up if you have some cash to spend.
I like this set.Pros:Bionicle parts work well.Dynamite.Rock MonsterGood Playabilaty.Cool spinning blade and grabbing claws.Cons:Feels weak. The part with the number sticker on tend to fall off.Brains has 2-sided head. :(This is overall a good set.
This is my second Power Miners set,and it is great!Pros:DynamitePickaxeBoulderax rock monsterNice detailsCrystalRotating BladeThe claws can pick up a crystal or a rock monsterCons:A bit smallOverall,i would recommend this to a friend!
This set is sooooooooo cool. This set includes Brains (the smart miner) and boulderex (the strong but dumb rock monster) with crystal. The mine mech is like robotic suit to make a super soldier. The interior is small (1minifig max) . The pilot has to sit down to drive the walker. In it , it has 2 levers to pilot it and next to it has TNT and a pickax (it also has a signal bulb on top of the roll cage). The weapons are, a plasma saw to cut through solid objects like rock and a giant claw to grab objects like people and to snip objects in half. And last but not least the feet , for stomping on and crunching on enemy's or objects to destroy them (also they don't always stand up straight, especially on carpet) I also switched the claw and the saw because the claw feels comfortable on the right. Time for pros and conspros:brains boulderex claw saw TNT cons:feet are a little stubby stickers.....again
