Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 by slimninj4

I thought this was not released until I went to TRU to get some diapers. Found it and grabbed it so quick. Glad I did. Best Power Miner set for 2009 so far.

From Bricks To Bothans

Recommendation: yes 8.5 / 10 by Don

This retails for $26.99 and for a TRU Exclusive set with 293 parts – that's a great deal.

Recommendation: meh 47 / 60 by CMP

A decent set. The main function is not as good as, say, the Thunder Driller, but the other, smaller features make this set a must-have for any self-respecting Power Miners fan or someone looking for a good buy.
