Dunjohn Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Funny. Here we have a set with a big bad monster truck, a cool grappling arm feature, and new minifigs - and the wow-factor of the set is a pan with sausage. One of the things I really like about Power Miners is the cheeky little bits of home comfort they've snuck down there with them, like the banana in the Titanium Command Rig and the coffee maker in the Rock Wrecker. And the drinks machine in the new base. Lovely attention to detail. Quote
The Alchemyst Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Any ideas on the release and price of the Superpack? I'm going to go ahead an assume it's a European only release, like most/all. I think they were all European only. =/ Correct me if I'm wrong. Pretty interesting to see an Action Theme get its own Superpack. Last one I can think of is Life on Mars and Arctic. [-TA-] Quote
The Green Brick Giant Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Most of the super packs in recent years have been random City sets. I think they are kind of stupid, you don't save enough money by buying them. Quote
ForceMaster Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Yesterday I has visited my local store and saw there all 2010 Power Miners sets, include 8190 and 8191. Claw Clutcher is so nice and his grabing function is great! I think that it could contend with Thunder Driller. ) Lavatraz Prison is a cool set too, but Erruptorr looks a little strange.

Hmph...Strange.There are in our stores(in each?),but there are NO official photo of the sets (8190 and 8191).I wanted to buy Power Miners 2010,but when i see price list...Power Miners now become to license or what??? Do you bought themForcemaster? Quote
ForceMaster Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 MantaMan, 8190 and 8191 also are absent on BrikLink. Perhaps, all 2010 PM sets are on sale in Russia only?) No, I didn't, but I'm very like Claw Clutcher, and will probably buy it in near future. ) Quote
squidman85 Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 No, I didn't, but I'm very like Claw Clutcher, and will probably buy it in near future. ) I think that all sets are too expensive,thought. Quote
TheBrickDaddy Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 So the claw catcher and lavatraz are only available in Russia? I was going to give them to someone for a Christmas present!! Any US sightings? Quote
squidman85 Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 If power miners were in "simple" underground(secondary color-orange),then they've been at the center of the earth(secondary color-blue),what will be next?Cool underground rivers and ice caves,power miners in arctic clothes?Secondary color-dark-red or purple?Ice-monsters?

Blue stays, Orange transform in trans orange, lime transform in white and Ice Miners 2012 are ready to start their job! Quote
The Crazy One Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) Guys, I bring bad news. If you look in the new catalog, there is no sign of the summer wave of PM, but there are in every other theme. I fear it might be lost, or is having a break. Edited December 23, 2009 by The crazy one Quote
The Alchemyst Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's the end. Agents had a two year run, and not many Action Themes live on too long. We're getting Atlantis for a year run, possibly two [Although Aquaraiders II did only have a year to live], and World Racers implemented in the summer. C'mon Arctic Theme... Quote
Oky Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I'm assuming it's the end too. I mean, they already captured the big bad lava monster that's causing all the earthquakes, and they're at the FREAKIN CENTER OF THE EARTH! Not much further you can dig there. And PM has got to make way for all the new themes including world racers. Quote
Rick Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Oh no: once they reach the center of the earth they are going to get shot into space through a volcano and they're going to mine on the moon. But seriously: I guess you're right Oky Wan. Quote
TheBrickDaddy Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Claw Catcher and Lavatraz are available on S@H, but not in the US... Quote
Svelte Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Claw Catcher and Lavatraz are available on S@H, but not in the US... And vice versa - the smaller sets are not available outside the US. There seems to be some database error as this is true of Atlantis and Space Police 3 as well (and City Fire sets) - what is available in the US isn't available anywhere else, and vice versa. I expect it will be fixed soon. Quote
The Green Brick Giant Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 ^ Could also be that the smaller sets were shipped to the USA first and the larger sets were shipped to Europe. So until there are enough for both places to go around they didn't add all the sets to both. Quote
Svelte Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 The markets are served by different distribution centres, so no. Besides, it's the *exact* sets which have been available in the US on S@H which are the *exact* sets not available elsewhere, and vice versa - even though some of these sets have already appeared in stores in Europe (from reviews and Bricklink sellers) Quote
Forresto Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 FYI most of the 2009 PM sets are on sale Link Quote
YG-49 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 If you zoom in on Eruptorr, you can see that the "new" flame pieces are actually one piece divided into three but still connected at the bottom. Quote
Bfahome Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 If you zoom in on Eruptorr, you can see that the "new" flame pieces are actually one piece divided into three but still connected at the bottom. eww :x Eh, as long as they can be disconnected they're still somewhat good. Quote
squidman85 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) If you zoom in on Eruptorr, you can see that the "new" flame pieces are actually one piece divided into three but still connected at the bottom. I'm a review now on the Lavatraz set(i'm want to buy claw catcher on this week,maybe).He has 3 rubber flame pieces,that will be great to make lava dragon,thought.The trans color of Europtorr is something between trans-orange(Firox,Firax,etc)and transe-"flame"(burning rocks,flames,etc).And...orange "claws" are...made of rubber,thought Edited December 29, 2009 by MantaMan Quote
Dunjohn Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 If you zoom in on Eruptorr, you can see that the "new" flame pieces are actually one piece divided into three but still connected at the bottom. That's actually fine by me, I thought it'd have been a pain in the neck to get them all in if they were individual parts. The front of the 'mech looks great - but it has no knees! What does TLG have against knees!? Is the sausage in the Claw Catcher new? Quote
squidman85 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Is the sausage in the Claw Catcher new? Nope.It's old,like in Fire Brigade set. Some photos with Europtorr and Firax: Europtorr: Edited December 29, 2009 by MantaMan Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Thanks for all pictures! This one is going on my desktop! It's really funny! And I am glad that Fire pieces are not part of the Eruptorra (its she for me :P) Quote
