- 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
Best Lego series ever
Next to rock raiders *
After Bionicle
@@OrangeFlame1 I think next to not after.
@@SpaceDave-on8uv guess you like rocks then…
Truth
The perfect balance between technic and normal lego
So True
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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!
This series should have never been canceled
Agreed!
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!
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!!
i wish i grew up during the late 2000s/early 2010s
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 :)

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.
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
Underrated and forgotten Lego series
love the nostalgia and hearing how happy this guy gets to show off his favorite stuff
I remember getting the these for Christmas. Good times I miss ghem
Lego power miners is my favourite non CCBS theme!
I’m not sure if Lego ever brought themes back, but I definitely want them to do so with this theme
Loved this series. Perfect blend of realistic/industrial with all the machinery and fantasy with the rock monsters.
These sets were an absolute stunning remix of those old miner sets. Loved almost all of them and their functions
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
Oh my gosh I LOVE Power Miners. I was obsessed with the little Rock Monsters as a kid.
I just love how you are talking about these sets with real interest
Most underrated leg sets ever I used to love ninjago and powerminers.
This took me strait back to my childhood
Definitely one of my favorite LEGO sets as a kid
These were so cool! I’ve been cleaning my room the past week and really wish I didn’t dismantle most of these
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. 😢
The thunder driller was my 1st every Lego set. I loved it and this series. Miss it all
I thought power miners were decent but I was wrong IT IS GREAT
You have accomplished what child me couldn't and what adult me hopes to do, good job.
Man I still get chills from the memory of scratching the rough stickers on them. Like nails on a chalkboard
Personally, Mars Mission was my favourite theme. Got so many of those!
I loved this series. My uncle bought me all the big sets when I went to Korea. It was the coolest.
Dude, That theme looks absolutely rad!
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
The functionality of these sets are amazing!! My mind is officially blown.
This makes me remember the exact day I bought a Clutch Powers dvd copy lol
This was definitely my favorite lego series
I only remember 1st wave of this, nice to see all of them.
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.
My childhood right there also cluch powers was great I miss those days
This was my childhood, my Mom's friends son had 5 of these sets and he was moving out so they gave them to me when I was 6, and it still has a deep place in my heart
This brought back so much memories
I loved this series when i was a kid, I loved bothe the power miners and the rock monsters
This was peak Lego
lego power miners and lego Mars Mission were my all time favourites
this used to be my fav. lego series when i was young... really nostalgic
The first one the bike one was my first Lego set I have ever gotten as a kid these where my favorite
The nostalgia omg, I had like 7 of these sets and loved all of them
Power miners, Atlantis and Mars mission were my favourite themes as a kid
Amazing, I only collected from the Stone Chopper to the Thunder Driller. Also, your collection is dope.
i had the crystal collecor set as a kid. This was my fav lego set of all time.
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.
Damn I loved this series! I had that drill base, motorcycle, small mech, water mech and a drill machine, still remember how happy i was back in a day, these were great cars with a very nice functionality. Miss those days :(
i remember these as a kid blew my mind i loved this set n the spongebob set
Gives me memories of the adventures of clutch powers
This just bought back so much of my childhood, crazy!
I never had any of these as a kid, but I did always want some of these sets!
This brought me back 🥲
My childhood Lego series!
It’s 2:32 but you just woke up my childhood. This series needs to come back. I loved these as a kid. Too bad the lava series got so expensive. But man did I collect as many as I could. The claw digger was amazing, and the thunder driller so fun. So many memories of these sets as a kid.
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
this was probably the only lego series that I wanted when I was young... super nostalgic!
This is beautiful, I've looked at this for 5 hours now.
loved the video!! Such nostalgia the thunder driller was my fav too
Man I loved how all the 2nd phase sets look as a kid, I wish I could’ve got them, I always awed at that wheel.
We want more lego power miners!!
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!
God it feels like I'm 9 again thanks for the nostalgia
Rock Raiders was my jam
I grew up to be a roughneck and as a kid I thought this is what working the rigs was like but without the rock monsters
The memories, I remember the AD for this
Reminds me of ol'good Lego Rock raiders. Game was amazing as well.
As a kid i FUNKEN loved these
This series has some of the best play functions I’ve seen Lego implement
When I was little this was my favorite series but I never got any of the sets because these sets were just too expensive for my parents to get me. I remember going to my friends houses and they literally had all of them. Jesus this took me back.
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
I have so much nostalgia from the movies
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.
Another fine addition for my non-existent collection.
Man i miss this sets used to have the lava monster set but lost it during house moving.
Crazy to see that I've had every single one of them as a kid. Definitely my childhood favorite!
Great Video. It really brings back my childhood memories. I still remember how i lost one of those rock monsters when i was a child and to this day it is the only thing that i have never found.
i had most from 1 and 2 year
i really loved it too
its probably the seires i played with most when i was younger
Bruh, this was my favorite lego theme as a kid. The crystal sweeper was the best present I got from my favorite christmas of all time, and for years the Titanium Command Rig was the one lego set I always wanted, but unfortunately I was never able to get it
It sure is! I got the crystal sweeper for Christmas too. And I had buy the titanium command rig now that I’m an adult, I wanted it my whole childhood too.
When you showed the crystal sweeper and when you drove it I saw a crystal fly out
This series was great for a lot of things, playability,characters,functionality and looks
These all look like they have amazing boss battle potential! 🤩
That is a great idea
I never saw the centipede or the mining station in catalogs! Those are so cool!
This and the underwater themed ones were the best
I remember seeing these in the catalogue when I was little, never got any though
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...
really nice functionality for these sets
Spoiler, Cristal sweeper has from left *(or right)* mechanism connected to the wheels, *so when we move wheels, this orange thing is moving too*
