 8 year old boy reviews Power Miners Titanium Command RigAug 31, 2009
I was very excited to start building this set. It took me around 4 - 5 hours to build it. It looks very cool when it is all done.
The net launcer does not launch the net as far as it is supposed to.
The rock monster does not throw the rocks as far as I saw on a different review.
The crane tilt does not work good.
The drill sometimes stalls.
Only get it if you really, really want it as it is pretty expensive.
If it were $50 it would be a better value, I think.

My son loves the Lego TCR!Oct 23, 2009
By Catmom

My son loves this toy. The instructions are in TWO books and it took several days to put it together. My husband had to help my son finish it. My son made some mistakes putting it together and my husband had to correct those. The instructions are some times difficult to follow. Some of the pieces fell on the floor as it was being assembled and some of them got stepped on and bent, but they didn't break. You will need lots of patience with tiny lego pieces to get this put together. It's expensive, too. My son saved up the $100 to buy this over several months. I think it's very over priced, but I have to admit, my son loves it and plays with it a lot.

A seven year old boy's favorite kitJan 18, 2012
By Michael Stormoen

Our seven year old boy is a lego fanatic. Though he never saw the power miner set in the stores, he had done his research and could tell us all about it. It's a hybrid between Technic kits (gears, string, girders and rivets) and the currently popular specialized pieces.
The theme of this kit is a machine that can bore into the earth horizontally or tip vertically and bore down. There are several workers who can operate cranes - apparently to pick up cages containing the "bad guys" one encounters when making a journey to the center of the planet. Oddly, these guys seem to like Bananas - there were one or two that came with the set - even lego guys need Potassium!
There is a gear system to spin the drill and tweaking things to make them work well is a big part of the fun. Certainly a great kit that is (apparently) no longer in production.
Incredibly awesome, Lego deserves a standing ovation!Sep 19, 2011

If youre Lego junkie doesn't have this set, be SURE to get one before they're all gone! Golly, just when you thought Lego couldn't outdo themselves again, they always surprise and develop something like this set. Although it's a bit more intricate than most, this set actually resembles a Technic set more than a regular Lego set because of all the working attributes. There is a gear assembly that takes quite awhile to put together to actually get it to work - two have to work simulatenously to move the drill so if you get one wrong, you have to start over! The tower raises and lowers and is connected to the drill with a grappling hook (like Batman's), which in real life, would be quite unstable for a machine like this. If you get the gears right, the drill will turn as the machine rolls through the caves and once the rock monster is spotted, he can be captured with the net, placed into the cage that is lowered by a crank and attached with a black cable, and inserted into the captive portion of the machine. The driver even has a banana to use as bait! Once captured, the monster can be stored at the side of the machine while the drill picks up more of his band mates.
SO AWESOME! It's been sitting on our dining room table to show guests since it was completed last month. Hands down, one off the absolutely BEST sets we have purchased and we have a bunch! Highly, highly, highly recommend!
