I didn't keep on track much lately cause i'm pretty busy, i just was at my local store these days first since like 4 months, and just saw they had all the new PM sets, including the command rig and the crystal crawler. Unfortunately i'm that poor, that i can't afford anything right now, so i was just able to look at them :tongue:

I didn't want to open a new topic so I post it here:
Italian DTT channel "Boing" will air unpublished Power miners movies from September 6th to October 3rd.
The Italian catalog also tells users about our own nationl PM site which should include video interviews to set designers, but I can't find them.

There are new bios on the Power Miners website of TREMOROX, GEOLIX, and ROCKRAGE (the super huge rock monster in the crystal king set).
My favorite movie quotes:


Grevious: You Fool! I've Been Trained In The Jedi Arts By Count Dukoo!


Jack Sparrow:Why is the rum always gone?


Jazz:You want a piece of me?
You want a piece?
Megatron:No,I want two!

Don't think this has been posted yet - there is a new Power Miners alternate model featured near the back of the September-October issue of the Lego Mag:

Not bad, IMO. The name stinks, but the actual model is pretty cool.  :thumbup:

That's probably one of the best alternate models I've seen. With a few modifcations it could look like a Jurassic Park car. :laugh: I'm almost tempted get the set just to build the car. I wish it was a set itself. :cry_sad: The only  :thumbdown: is the white window frames. :hmpf_bad:

Not sure if this has been pointed out elsewhere, but I managed to snag the two Power Miners bagged sets at Target last night tucked away in the Halloween section.

The 8907 Rock Hacker is a great little set, very reminiscent of the small little Space and City sets I used to get as a kid. The 8908 Monster Launcher is, plainly, just a waste of money. It's a 12 piece catapult that you can fling an included Rock Monster with. I guess it's okay if you REALLY want a rock monster and are too cheap to buy a full-blown Power Miner set. Posted Image

Really? :look:  I looked all over my nearest Target and couldn't find them. In the Halloween section, they only had decorations and stuff. :sceptic:

How much were they? Could you do some reviews of them? That would be great! :sweet:

What ever happened to those? Did any of them air? If so, how are they, and is there any place we can watch 'em?

Same here :wacko: I don't understand? Last time though my Target released the Orc impulses which had been out a while , during Easter so the PM impulses probably won't be out until Christmas.

They are on an aisle with the Halloween cake decorating supplies and some candy.  They are not on the main Halloween aisles.

Good.  Hopefully I can now get a decently priced Termorox.

New better image of the larger magma power miner vehicle. The one we got a small blurry image of remember?

It's rather strange looking.
