- What is the best LEGO theme? Starwars? Ninjago? How about PowerMiners? I would say its the best non-licensed Lego Theme ever made! PowerMiner was my favorite Lego theme when I was a little kid. I have collected every set, lets take a look at them.
P.S. My all time favorite LEGO Theme is Lord of the Rings
I miss this lego series it was original and unique.
This and galaxy squad were my favorites
Ya
I think it’s still available in LEGO stores,
I saw crystal sweeper yesterday, so I got it
@@Cold_Frost41 where on earth is the lego store you're going to? this series is around 12 years old now. most lego stores don't keep product past a year lmao
Reminds me of the Lego rock raiders
The perfect balance between technic and normal lego
So True
Best Lego series ever
Next to rock raiders *
After Bionicle
@@OrangeFlame1 I think next to not after.
@@SpaceDave1337 guess you like rocks then…
Truth
these were my absolute favorites as a kid, really confused why they got rid of them
they should've expanded on this series
Sales. When sets sit on store shelves, stores don't request new batches from LEGO. LEGO prints batches of boxes according to predicted demand. If they over predict, they end up with some sets still waiting on shelves for over a year after LEGO filled their last box. People didn't buy these as much as they bought Star Wars.
LEGO original series' are always competing with stuff like LEGO Star Wars. When the parent asks them what they want for Christmas or their birthday, the kid usually says Star Wars. It's why Ninjago was seen as so successful. It went on for so long, and sets were still being sold in high numbers.
LEGO Mars explorers was also an epic but short lived series. There was massive online minigame and advertising effort for LEGO Atlantis. It was advertised in LEGO Club magazines months before I could even see a set on shelves.
LEGO puts a hell of a lot of work into trying to sell new series'. So when they don't sell LEGO can truly say, "well it wasn't very profitable".
@@GrasshopperKelly These sets are a lot better than modern LEGO sets I think legos loosen there game
@@Scp-682- sure, could be. I can't prove/disprove that. But LEGO decided they didn't have enough new ideas for a 4th wave, and/or that sales of the first or second wave weren't as good as they'd hoped, or weren't as good as they wanted to justify putting effort into another wave. It could be they had another series of sets sitting on the shelf ready to go, and they predicted better sales on that. LEGO Chima was right around the corner.
It's also entirely possible LEGO has half a wave of Power Miners set designs sitting in the Secret service archives that were ready for a 5th wave.
But remember too, any new waves would have been designed and ready probably around the time the first wave launched. At least the first two waves were already designed before LEGO started advertising Power miners.
Almost every LEGO Chima set was already designed by the time the first boxes arrived on shelves.
For any combination of the above reasons, LEGO made the decision, they'd make more money on a new series.
LEGO knows their own independent series rarely compete with film/story deals. Like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Jurassic World.
Lego only has licensed crap now. I miss original themes
Awesome lego series. Super disappointed when they were discontinued, however you’ve built the rock wrecker wrong. I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but mine always worked. The top heats connected perfectly with the bottom and turned easily. It looks so cool when it it’s actually going. Was actually my first set of the series to. Just wanted to let you know that there’s something wrong with it there as it’s actually an awesome set that does work as intended.
Awesome collection! Glad to see more people are getting into power miners. I recently completed the collection and I have them on display right next to me!
That is super cool!
Hey, where did you buy Lego Power Miners?
@@mentalitamar probably second hand sites like ebay
I was lucky enough to get 90% of them by my mom and dad when I was a kid
I have at least 3 of every set now. Definitely my favorite theme all time
Hi! The rock wrecker blades do spin! I have one here!! Just rebuild it and follow the instructions and I promise you'll be happy😁
You are right, I just fixed mine! Thanks! I just made a new video on it
I was just about to post that the blades do spin via the wheels truning them and the bottom blades interlocking woth the top ones like gears but thankfully you told him and now there is certainty
Amazing collection, I had the thunder driller as a child and now I’m 18 and have started buying some of these of eBay. Never had the titanium command rig but I do now though! And it is beautiful
P.S. The rock wrecker blades do spin but you have them aligned wrong, I’d suggest rebuilding it as the blades should press against the rubber tires and spin
That is sweet your getting the sets you didn't have, I did some of that too.
And thanks for the advice I will go rebuild the Rock Wrecker and get it working :)
Damn I have the same story except I had most of them as a kid. Just recently got them all!
The Claw Catcher blew my mind when I got it back in the day. Such an elaborate function and so much fun to play with.
Something beautiful what it's like to live my childhood dream. There are a few sets missing for my full collection, I think I will buy them after many years.
That will be great!
wow what a throwback, i genuinely think these were the most play friendly and fun kits i had as a kid
Это потрясающе это мини станция ШЕДЕВРОВ с клеткой для мостра и подëмнлй вышкой для бурения. Вау
3:02
From what I can recall they are all supposed to spin as the vehicle moves. But the blades on yours aren’t positioned properly yet. I think the bottom blades are supposed to collide with some of the wheels at the bottom and collide with the blades on top like gears to make them spin.
i wish i grew up during the late 2000s/early 2010s
This series should have never been canceled
Agreed!
Why cant lego continue with as epic series as this
The quality of the first ninjago sets, power miners and
Orcs vs knights (whatever the name of that was) was just amazing
Today LEGo just leaves out parts and rejects the possibilities of the increase in part variation
Castle
Lego power miners is my favourite non CCBS theme!
I just now realized how "big" collection I have, even though I never collected lego. When I was a kid the power miners just started, I got Stone chopper, Mine mech, Thunder driller (my favorite), Boulder blaster and Fire blaster. I got those as a sets. After some years parents bought me and my brother a big pile of random lego (sold by its weight) and luckily the guy that sold it was a fan of ninjago and power miners. My power miners collection got bigger, I found the second Thunder driller, Claw digger, Crystal king, Rock wrecker, Cave crusher (I never knew this set existed before) and Magma mech. Sadly, the most exciting sets to me (such as Crystal sweeper) weren't there, so I had to build my own mobile HQ from pieces of the second Thunder driller and other random parts. I'm still happy with the results :)
nice collection, but i think you built the rock wrecker wrong
Yeah, I think I did.
Power Miners was INCREDIBLE!! This video made me realize that I actually had WAY more of these sets than I realized! It was mainly the more expensive ones that I didn't have, like the Crystal Sweeper and Titanium Command Rig, but I do DISTINCTLY remember that massive gear from the Underground Mining Station! Sadly, my Dad forced me to sell them all when I was younger, but hopefully I'll be able to build my collection back up again! These sets truly are amazing!!
These were so cool! I’ve been cleaning my room the past week and really wish I didn’t dismantle most of these
I thought power miners were decent but I was wrong IT IS GREAT
Amazing, I only collected from the Stone Chopper to the Thunder Driller. Also, your collection is dope.
Underrated and forgotten Lego series
I remember getting the these for Christmas. Good times I miss ghem
Lego power...miners...? Is this Rockraiders for people who aren't old?
I feel sorry for the rock and lava monsters, so I buy them up and give them sanctuary. I have hundreds by now. Particularly Infernox is treated cruelly if instructions are followed (being dwarf-tossed into a water tank, which denatures him to Meltrox).
This makes me remember the exact day I bought a Clutch Powers dvd copy lol
Not to be that guy, but you built number 8 wrong, hence why the saws don’t spin, they are supposed to go at the end of the technic pins and spin into each other like gears.
Edit: Woops, turns out someone else already made said correction. Well, at least the miners are ready to *power* mine correctly now!
Spoiler, Cristal sweeper has from left *(or right)* mechanism connected to the wheels, *so when we move wheels, this orange thing is moving too*
You have accomplished what child me couldn't and what adult me hopes to do, good job.
so fucking sad it got discontinued with so little sets made. there couldve been so much more
The rock monters were always the best parts of these sets, where are they?
Darn it, you got Number 8709, never got it and I never found it in germany...
Edit: I own it now lmao
You positioned the rock wrecker blades wrong that is why.
Thanks, Ill have to go fix it
When you showed the crystal sweeper and when you drove it I saw a crystal fly out
I’m not sure if Lego ever brought themes back, but I definitely want them to do so with this theme
Hello, I'm a Korean Lego RUclipsr. I'm making a video about Lego with an unusual concept. May I use part of this video? Of course, I'll put your channel and source in the video!
Yes you can, thanks for asking, Let me know when the video is done.
@@BuilderTim
Oh thank you so much! I'll let you know when the video is uploaded!
love the nostalgia and hearing how happy this guy gets to show off his favorite stuff
What a neat line!
My flatmate had a few (I remember the Mine Mech, Crystal Sweeper and the Thunder Driller) but he sold them for drug money! LOL Not sure that we ever got the 2nd wave in NZ..
I love the Thunder Blaster's dynamite thrower and the various claws for grabbing rock monsters.
I like the industrial aesthetic too.. sort of reminds me of agricultural equipment wih a futuristic touch.
But we were both more into Agents around that time. My flatmate had even the big sets (he had more money than me). My favourite line are City construction vehicles. (Back before they scaled them down.. they're just a bit too small now) I had a big mobile crane and that giant Bulldozer from around 2010.
Personally, Mars Mission was my favourite theme. Got so many of those!
Now do the OG Power Miners; Rock Raiders
Sorry but Rock Raiders beats their butts.
You know the rock wrecker does spin, might wanna check the instructions. And see Just2goods review
Thanks, I got it fixed now
Rock Raiders was the og version of this
This so nostalgic for me. Thank you so much for this video. 😄😁
When I was a kid, I asked my mom to buy the lego movie Adventures of Clutch Powers from a movie store.
I then saw the commercials on and the one that I loved and desired the most was the Power Miners. After that I started collecting small to medium lego sets.
Sadly I wasn't able to find a power miner set of any kind during my childhood and now I have stopped collecting any legos because I lost interest in it. 😢
This lego theme feels like its inspirerad by a movie that doesnt exstied but that should existed.
I agree, that’s a good way to put it
You forgot the combination sets
Most underrated leg sets ever I used to love ninjago and powerminers.
We want more lego power miners!!
BuilderTim, how many rock monsters in total?
Check out my new video with every rock monster
Dude please…
Leave some ladies for the rest of us!
Ah 😅
Favorite lego series by far. I always have had a fascination with heavy machinery (especially mining equipment), so this series effectively scratched that itch. Just wish there was more!
Yeah they are awesome. I wish there were more
The functionality of these sets are amazing!! My mind is officially blown.
Rock Raiders was my jam
In surprised that I’ve never heard of these kind of sets
They were around for like only a year, but I loved them!
The Rock wrecker blades always spun when mine moved, the saw blades line up like gear cogs. Maybe I got lucky idk
I actually found I messed up on building it. I have a new video on me fixing it
This was peak Lego
#BRING_BACK_POWER_MINERS
What about the Lego Magazine exclusive alternate build for the ‘Titanium Command Rig’?
This is so damn cool. I never realized it, because it came out just around the time when I stopped playing with Lego blocks. Now I regret it a bit!
Themes Lego needs to reboot:
1. Hero factory
2. Power miners
3. Atlantis
4. Alien conquest
I miss this series so much. It was the only way you could get tons of those little crystals without going to a special retailer; the sets were a great way to get both technic pieces and regular pieces.
This and Dino Attack were great sets...
I wish Lego would bring back awesome sets like these every so often you know? Older sets deserve a reinstallment from time to time for the older and younger fans to enjoy.
It's so weird seeing everyone so nostalgic for this Rock Raiders knock off line.
i feel that, I remember being dissatisfied when this theme first released, looking at it now its super underwhelming.
I was just talking with my sister how I didn't think they'd ever bring back Rock Raiders... Shows what I know.
Dang I missed this, sucks I only got the mine mech, that thunder driller was a dreammm
Why did they stop making them
At that time, LEGO was producing their own IPs (Intellectual property) themes in 3 wave segments. They were trying to see what people really liked, and Ninjago came out on top.
Funny, That was the first time I got a motorcycle as well. It's still my only one actually. I don't have as much nostalgia for Power Miners, compered to Rock Raiders. But these sets were awesome! and I still have mine.
Now we just need a Rock Raiders VS Power Miners mashup, complete with a brand new video game.
I wonder if LEGO will give the Rock Raiders/Power Miners esc theme another go someday?
Super disappointed the Rock Wrecker was built incorrectly :/ all four blades do spin when you drive it. Good video though for a nostalgic throwback to my 2009 childhood
What about the combo sets and the extra remodels from LEGO Club?
and What about keychains and wristwatches you them too?
I'm well aware they are personal preferences, but technically your collection is "not complete". ;)
Imagine getting gifted the whole collection your whole childhood... And I never kept them in tact. Now the 4 Boxes of Power Miners are just sitting in garage, waiting to be rebuilt...
Did you build the Rock Wrecker right? All the the saws on mine spin
They don't make them like this animore :(
I know plenty of people don't like it, when Technic pieces or functions are introduced in normal Lego...
But you gotta admit: The best play functionalities are done with Technic pieces and systems...
wasn’t boulder blaster the “hard to find” from wave 1, not wave 2
Even as a little kid I didn’t think the rock/lava monsters were evil, they were just protecting their home, sadly I never owned any of these but my child brain was too preoccupied with Lego Dino Attack
I had the claw one (4), think I got it during the 2nd (or possibly 3rd) phase as I remember the phase 2 sets on the instructions.
These sets were an absolute stunning remix of those old miner sets. Loved almost all of them and their functions
Why are you flexing on us with the best Lego sets ever 😩😩😩😩😩😩
Oh my gosh I LOVE Power Miners. I was obsessed with the little Rock Monsters as a kid.
The Lava Monster looks like something out of Mario 64
This is my favorite Lego theme I am only missing 4 sets. The mining station, the rock wrecker(which I really want) and the 2 larger lava sets.
i love the thunder driller as a 5 year old in 2015 i watched the clutch powers bonus features and saw the thunder driller my brain was explouding
2:03 i pay ALL LEGO Power Miners SEASON 1 when i was little kid!
Dude, I had the drill, the cool one with saw wheels angled, and the cool prison one with the vending machine. My favorite sets every
2:58 bait??? Of course normally they spin
You built the Rock Wrecker wrong than if the blades don't spin or the parts are not at the best quality. The large saws do spin and I admit I say this through experiance that if something isn't done right it won't work, most common issue I hear is that the blades are backwards
My absolute favorite Lego serie ever! Great video
Missing some pieces on the titanium thing on my cage they’re supposed to be a hook
Yeah I think I misplaced them when playing with the set a while ago
I. Have parts of the crystal king
loved the video!! Such nostalgia the thunder driller was my fav too
I have all but the rock hacker, monster launcher, and underground mining station
I loved LEGO Power Miners they need to bring it back
Man I still get chills from the memory of scratching the rough stickers on them. Like nails on a chalkboard
My cousin in Sweden loved these, we mailed him a few sets for his birthday, which is funny since he's right next to Denmak
New lego just isn't the same. Older sets were bigger and had more adventure to it. New lego can't compare
the little rock monster chucker is the only pm i have at all.... first and only. nr 0 (1) for me.
oh man I remember this stuff, I even remember when this was brand new, couldn't get much of it though
It would be cool to see someone make a full length stop motion film based on power miners but with a horror theme about how they are gradually taken out by the rock monsters until only a small party of power miners remains and must dig their way to freedom
I would love to see you review some alternate builds of the Power Miners sets, the Rock Watchman and Blast Roller are really interesting but there are no videos about them!
If only LEGO still produces some of these today :(
