    Details:
    Price: RM120.90
    Pieces: 197 (around 62sen/piece)
    Minifigs: 2
    Year released: 2009

    Box art:
    Front:


    Side:


    Back:
    We can see there's alternative model again, just like Exo-Force, two sets combine become one.


    Content:
    There are 4 packs of bricks, an instruction booklet and sticker sheet.


    Here's the separately pack Sulfurix.


    Instruction booklet:
    As always, there will be a bricks checklist, other than just building steps.


    Decals:


    Accessories:
    This set has a lot of accessories.


    Trans-green crystal.


    Minifigs:
    We got two minifigs here. 1 miner and 1 rock monster, Sulfurix the trans- neon green monster. The miner minifig have both side of torso printed as well as the leg too.






    The miners got two expressions, I'm not sure what kind of expression is this, it looks excited to me.


    Sulfurix:
    I got three of it.








    Claw Digger:
    I guess this is the best design of Power Miners team vehicle if compare to other set, at least this is presentable.
    Random shot:


    Front shot:

    Rear Shot:


    The engine:


    The cockpit:
    Just a seat and a monitor, I didn't apply the sticker, that's why it looks blank.


    Behind the cockpit is a place where he kept his pick axe. I like the headlights, pretty nice.


    Cockpit case:
    Is movable at least.




    Claws:
    You have to move it manually, kinda sad. Undecided


    Front. . . .:
    I have no idea what this is call. Any idea?  Grin This is movable, up and down.




    Extra parts:
    Now here’s a lot of extra parts.


    Completion:

    This thing is cool, my favourite set from Power Miners theme for now.  Wink

    Functions:
    -moving wheel
    -working claw
    -opening cockpit

    Pros:
    -nice detail
    -accessories

    Cons:
    -sticker sheet

    Final verdict:
    Playability: 9/10 There are something to play with, especially with moving wheels and also moving claws
    Design : 9/10 The whole thing is a beauty.
    Price : 9/10 The price per piece seems to cheap.
    Overall: 9/10 Great set, recommended for Power Miners fans to get one.

    In my opinion, this set is the most good looking vehicle.  Cheesy But that Rock monster is not that rare anymore since you can get it in promotional pack.
