Tim Bit Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 The big drill is all I want. For Now mwahahaha Quote

Algernon Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Except Mars Mission was actually good? Quote
JimBee Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Nice, thanks Hinckley! I may get the 5th and 6th, and maybe the first if I have some extra money, but I'll have to see how good these really are. Quote
hollisbrick Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I guess they're OK sets but they are nowhere near Rock Raiders. I like them though because the Monsters come in different colours. Same These are better than expected, but I liked the prelim pics so I am satisfied Probably get the two last pics and the first one then I get 3 different colours, better than the last rock monster and although they are a BIT junorized. I like them Quote
Bundalings Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I don't like the orange... doesn't look good with the lime. The golems are very cool. I'm drooling over the recolored helmets. ~Bunda Quote
The Rancor Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 CRYSTALS! *regains composure* so many different coloured crystals! I like the fact that every monster is a different colour for each set! I especially like the fact that the red monster seems to only come in the smallest set (there might be one in the excavation rig) These sets certainly look quite cheap - I hope they ARE! Bike Cutter: £3.99 Mining Mech: £5.99 Crystal Carrying Digger: £8.99 - £12.99 Mining Cutter Truck: £14.99 - £19.99 Thunder Drill ( ): £29.99 Evcavator Rig: £49.99 - £54.99 Quote
DarthPineapple Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I like the fact that every monster is a different colour for each set! It isn't, there are only 4 colors. But those prizes seem pretty decent to me, not very expensive. Quote
Klonoa Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Hm, they're alright. I love underground and mining stuff, so I like these, but I think LEGO could have done better. Well, I'll probably get the first two shown in these new pictures. What are they called? The big machine with the huge drill at the front and the little set with treadmills. Quote
Asuka Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 That´s an interesting and nice theme in a fresh and neat color scheme with almost cute 'monsters'. However, it just looks, somehow, like it´s designed toward a slightly younger audience if compared to recent City, StarWars, Indy or Castle sets.... no problem, but not exactly my cup of tea either.... maybe I´ll get some of them for parts.

hewkii9 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 The crystals are nice, but what the... ...heck is that supposed to be? That's the Batpod set. I see the people running that website seem to have mismatched the photos I like that new construction vehicle canopy and the little monsters - they seem like they'd make good jelly beans-Idea. Mascots for sports teams for City MoCs. I wonder if you can fit a minifig head in the mouth? Quote
hollisbrick Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 The crystals are nice, but what the... ...heck is that supposed to be? I think it is a bike of..umm..some sort Still, I like it, and the red is awsome I really like this theme Quote
Brainbox Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 They're growing on me, and I don't think they're anywhere near as bad as a lot of people think. The bike thing does leave a little to be desired, but the other sets all have their merits. The mech looks less odd in stance than in the previous pictures we've seen. The small vehicle looks quite nice, but I'm not sure about the bucket it's pulling behind. If it goes over a particularly big rock, it'll leave the contents of the skip behind, surely. The mid-sized vehicle, with the two claw arms looks pretty cool as well and the command vehicle looks alright. I was right, you know, that is a rock catapult. The Thunder Drill though is great, easily my favourite. The minifigs look pretty neat as well, and I rather like the monsters as well, even if they do look more impish than threatening. I also like how they come in different colours, and how those colours match the colours of the crystals in the sets. Quote
Batbrick Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Okay, I can only think positively for so long. I am not interested in this theme at all now, and I'll only get the smallest set for the fig, monster and red crystal. Not saying these sets are bad, but they are only only really adequate in my opinion, and I want to save some money. Batbrick Away! Quote

Is it because it's not in red and it is in orange, thats my reason for being a bit sceptic Quote
Scyzoryk Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I'm lovin' these sets more everytime I look at them! But why are all the rock monsters' midgets? Couldn't they just at least one big leader guy or something? Quote
baby Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 4 kinds of golem, think I will buy them separately. By the way, can the golem keep those crystal inside themselves? Quote
Tim Bit Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) If they continue with the theme and release any in summer we'll probally get a massive monster! That would be so cool if they could put crystals inside sadly thats probably not going to happen. The monsters are still going to be cool. I think I'm going to mod the oudside to be grey brown and black. but keep those awesome drills and stuff. Edited October 24, 2008 by Tim Bit Quote
Pencoin Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 The monsters DO eat the crystals, that was known quite a while ago to be honest. Quote
der seb Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I hoped the would be more built, not so many new pieces. the driller could have done so much better with gears and droid arms... btw, does anyone see a lime cheese part or a 1x1 tile? This would be the only reason for me to buy these sets. Quote
Tim Bit Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Your not lieing pen coin? Thats great news! yeah I hoped thered be more peices too. Quote
Pencoin Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Your not lieing pen coin? Thats great news! yeah I hoped thered be more peices too. Did you call me pen coin? Its Pencoin. I'll probaly just get the mech and maybe the small bike. Quote
hewkii9 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Did you call me pen coin? Its Pencoin. I'll probaly just get the mech and maybe the small bike. What, you mean the mech and the Batpod? I don't see why everyone thinks it's a Power Miners set :P I'll probably just get those same sets. Quote
Tim Bit Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 yeah I'm going with those two sets and possibley the thunder drill. Quote
