WhiteFang Posted July 24, 2009 I don't think I'm late, or at least according to brickset. 8709, the grand mining station is now available on Shop@Home. Here's a link and a pretty picture for your trouble. Link Go buy it now, post a review, and make a funny remark about the box of carrots in the corner! You can continue your discussion in here instead. Thanks. Topic is merged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glacarcheo Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) So, let me get this straight: You mine the crystals at the bottom of the control tower, then carry them up to the tower, put them into the container, and pull it up to the large tower, just to have them automatically dumped into a chute where they come back out at the bottom? That makes even less sense than the Dwarves Mine! Overall, this set is a quite a letdown to me. The Rock Raiders HQ at least had lasers and stuff. This is just pointless. How is it fair to compare a Mining Station to the Rock Raiders HQ? I'm fairly sure this is not suppose to be the Power Miners HQ. Also, you say the mining chute is pointless, but kids enjoy doing things like that, so what if the crystal fall back down? It's exactly what the real world needs, a renewable energy source! Or you could just pretend those are new crystals? I personally think TLC is doing a great job with Power Miners, and I hope they continue next year!

MrTools Posted July 27, 2009 I'm surprised people dislike the colours so much. They are realistic afterall. Huh thaat picture looks like one of the transformers from the new movie that made devastator, also i saw another small vehicle at a construction site that looked like a granite grinder. Back on topic that UMS looks okay but i would like to se a review of it or see it in person before i get it (i probably will) hopefully the theam will last next year, im working on getting all the sets.

The Crazy One Posted August 10, 2009 That mining base is pretty insane, I love the look of it, I saw it in TRU yesterday, but....yeah, couldn't afford it. Got that Cyrstal King dude instead.....not the best set in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted August 10, 2009 I like the Cave Crusher. I can't wait to see a review on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doctordark Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) The Cave Crusher looks really cool except I hear it's the worst PM set yet because it's overpriced and the wheels interlock when they turn Edited August 10, 2009 by doctordark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metalandi Posted August 11, 2009 magma poer miners and monster power miners? New sub-themes? Would be pretty cool. But all in all i can't really imagine how these sets look just by the names. Guess we have to wait for pictures... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted August 11, 2009 magma poer miners and monster power miners? New sub-themes? I don't think so. It's obvious that these names are all jumbled up and should have the words "Power Miners" always first. They are unofficial and probably just names somebody made up, hopefully based on real sets. It would be slightly surprising to me to see another wave of PM since I was under the impression that people didn't like the sets much, but certainly not unwelcome.

Actually, the Power Miner's theme is pretty popular in some places, especially with kids. And I'm actually kind of excited to see the theme return, especially the lava set and the jail .

Shine Posted August 11, 2009 "Flitze" translates to "travel at excessive speed," so I'm guessing someone added the r as if the word was English. I'm thinking lava boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted August 11, 2009 "Flitze" translates to "travel at excessive speed," so I'm guessing someone added the r as if the word was English. No, Flitzer is a real word and means something like "scooter", a fast little vehicle. So, I'm thinking it's a small $5-10 set like the Stone Chopper, but more suited to drive on lava. You might be right about it being a little boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stealth Hunter Posted August 16, 2009 Lego 8188 - Power Miners- Lavaflitzer Sounds promising. Perhaps some kind of a little helicopter. I just hope we will also see something like the 4980 Tunnel Transport in the Power Miners theme. But that's just wishfull thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBrickHitHouse Posted August 23, 2009 Crystal Crawler (made with 8961 + 8959) is the set of the line Great look which reminds me of the Thundertank Superb idea too this whole combining sets thing - gets people buying sets they normally wont or two copies of those sets to have both models Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrTools Posted August 28, 2009 Im only two sets away from having them all, not including the command rig and crystal king. (i dont plan to get them just order the parts on bricklink) And im about to place a large bricklink order of lime freen orange and trans black windows for a huge power miner base, (i stoped work on my previous one untill i get more lime green.
