From a european ''LEGO-sell-site''.

I didn't remember the name...

All I can say is that it looks much nicer on the box than it does as the set is built.

That looks like a nice set! It may have a catapult, but I suppose that could be taken out. Is this the annual Christmas Target exclusive $50 set? Maybe...

Agreed I was ecstatic when I looked at the box but when I saw the model I thought it looked like a lime tractor... :cry_sad:

Dang I do like the look of it on the box but the actual model....not so much. I still do like the large model to the left as I want those green girders.

Just picked these two sets up from LEGOLAND, California today. They're the only two of the new line they had. But I passed them up a few days ago in favor of some other sets then decided to go back today and pick them up. Can't wait to check out the new huge Rock Monster.

Yeah, it is pretty awful. But I have made it long clear that if I buy one set from a theme, I buy the whole theme. I'm compulsive like that.

This has been in the Power Miners discussion thread for at least a month now. Please check before posting, its not even in the right forum.

I'm really not trying to be a snot-face-know-it-all, its just I want you to know for next time. :classic:

If you've built it, do you mind reviewing it, photoing it or describing it? I for one don't think it's that bad.

Imo the set is worthless for anything other than a parts pack. The construction is absolutely horrible. No aesthetics whatsoever.

But, I can see that those trans-green parts could be useful.

I have not built it yet. But I will definitely review it, provided someone doesn't beat me to it. I'm waiting to review all the new sets I bought until finals end this week. I'm a little swamped to review them right now. But we'll see. At the very least I should start churning out reviews in the next week or so.

I agree that the Crystal King looks like a bad MOC, but it's a neat parts pack IMO. Can't wait for the review, mania3! :thumbup:

8964 looks like a REAL good set to get if for nothing else but the parts alone. Fortunately, it's awesome enough to warrant buying anyway, so... yeah. I am still in seed of those drill and wheel parts so I can make a convincing Bara Magna vehicle.
