Crystal Sweeper
I just got this for my son. It took us a little over an hour to put it together. Pros: 2 rock monsters, 2 miners, a catapult for the Rock monsters. Crystals, a dirt bike, which is located on the sweeper, and 2 dynamites. It holds rather well. There aren’t too many pieces to knock off accidentally.
Cons: One has to remove the top of the cabin in order to get the marine in or out. Sweeper functions well on flat surfaces, however, I wouldn’t recommend using it on carpet, which the sweeper tends to slide and it won’t function properly. Crystals are easy to lose (as it usual with small Lego parts). Would be much better if the rock monsters had vehicles also.
Overall, it is a lot of fun. He is certainly looking forward to add more Power Miners to his collection. Worth the value.

My 9 year old just got the crystal sweeper and he loves it. What he likes about is the laptop, and the laser cutter drill, the crystal bucket and the sweeper. What he doesn’t like is that sometimes the sweeper doesn’t always pick up crystals. Also he read other people’s review which said the actions on the box can’t even happen, but it does. Also when he plays with this, it doesn’t fall apart at all. Overall it is a good lego set.

I am nine and very good at putting legos together, this took ALOT of time and when I was done, I couldnt even play with it and then it fell apart so I dedided to take it apart and try again! I put glue on the wheels to try and keep them on, the problem is, you can’t PLAY with this toy, the rock monsters and crystals and figures are fun, the sweeper part doesn’t really put the rockmonsters and crystals in the container its ok but you may not want to get this toy.

DISCLAIMER: My son has not played with this set yet!!!
My son is 12 years old and absolutely LOVES all the Power Miners sets that he has so far. I don’t remember their names, but he has 3 “vehicles” and plays with them for hours on end. He may like them because he is older and can completely put them together himself and doesn’t get too frustrated if they do fall apart. He begged me for this one for Christmas, so I have ordered it off of Amazon. I am reviewing it today just for parents and grandparents who maybe haven’t bought Power Miners for their kids yet but are considering it for Christmas. Like I said, my 12 year old plays with his Power Miners every day, and two of his 12 year old friends also love Power Miners. It may be more appropriate for an older child instead of a younger child.
[...] I kept looking back at my Amazon order because I couldn’t believe I got it so cheap.
