Just got my Brick Monarch Shop order in and here are my thoughts: I purchased two T-shirts, both of which are of decent quality if a little thin. The print work is good, but not excellent. If I were to reorder, I think I would go with a medium size as the larges are a little bigger than most shirts I've owned. (Do they make larges bigger in America or something?) The real highlight of my order is the desk lamp of the Rock Raiders drill - it has a very smooth colour changing LED and plugs right into my computer, lighting up when I turn it on and powering off when I shut it down. It's perfect! Overall, I'm happy with my order. I think the T-shirts would get 2 slugs on the Slugometer and the desk light would get the full 3. The shirts were definitely on the pricey side when it comes to custom merch items, so I was hoping for a little bit better quality in the product. Shipping and duty charges were expensive too, so I think I'd only recommend ordering from this store if you live within the USA.

You said "New Rock Raiders Merch" and I was like "What?! LEGO actually capitalizing on the demand for their past? Amazing!" And then it was an external company. Ah, well.

Hey folks! The kerfuffle with Bricklink couldn't stop us from talking about Rock Raiders today! I know a lot of folks are going to want me to follow up on that stuff, but I really want to avoid the "current event for clicks" spiral that causes. My intention behind that video was to get the ball rolling on the discussion and hopefully influence the admin at Bricklink to reconsider their actions. That video is not indicative of what I like to create on this channel, as hopefully you've come to know! If you want updates on that situation, I've recently pinned a new comment to that video and will continue to do so as needed. Let's keep the Bricklink stuff contained over there so we can continue to talk about LEGO here. 😊 Speaking of which, LOTS of links in the video description of this one worth checking out! Be sure to peruse at your leisure! Thanks everyone! ❤

Each part to be used next is displayed next to the in-progress model, then shown built on in very clear shots. No need to interrupt the relaxing music to boot. Superb!

OMG, a Rock Raiders mech!! Little child me would have gone bonkers for this. Heck, lets not kid ourselves, old me is also going bonkers for it! Its interesting to see the similarities it shares with the Life on Mars sets (unfortunately not a 90s theme, so definitely out of RR Slugger's reach, right. Right?), with the use of the new finger locked joints for elbow articulation. Its also fun to spot the differences, like how the LoM mechs added hinged plate for more articulation on the shoulders. What makes me jump up and down and scream silently at my screen is the use of a 4x4 plate as the base of the chest, with 2x2x2 panels to allow a minifig inside. This... This is what little me used to build in his mech MOCs!! Anyway, its always good to hear the Rock Raiders Sluggy Jam again, hopefully well indeed get to hear more of it this year

That's so cool to hear that you were thinking like a LEGO designer back then! You raise a good point about those ratchet joints too - this is likely one of the first LEGO mechs to use that connection type for its arms! I didn't even realize that while making the video, but this mech is pretty historically significant in a way! 😮

Woo, new Rock Raiders content! And man, the theme ages commentary sure felt interesting. I never got into Power Miners despite my age putting me into its demo -- I grew up with RR instead through the video game and old catalogues and such, though. On that note it reminded me that I came into being in the same year as Rock Raiders, so seeing its age reminded me of what will be my own too. A quarter century is a while, but I'll do what I can to keep thinking young for as long as I can...

That would have been awesome. A Rock Raiders simulation ride at Legoland. I've been in Legoland Gunzburg and Billund last year. The new Mythica section in Gunzburg is nice, but the older sections were a little bit 'old'. The models were discolored by sunlight and it felt like the whole park needed more attention to detail and a paint job. Billund was better. The Lego Movie 2 section of the park is the best section with great rides. The Western section feels a little bit outdated. I think reworking the canoe attraction would do a lot of work. The weirdest thing in the park is the clothing store. A store full of clothes, not Lego Wear but random brands of cloths. That is a missed opportunity. I found it strange that the Legoland parks do not have a Space section. I have a lot of mugs of Lego, but the Rock Raiders mug is not easy to get. Not long ago one was available for over the 70 euros.

Ahh, every time I hear news about how certain early models and renders for Rock Raiders were rediscovered, it gives me hope that the same will happen with Lego Loco. I'd love to build the trains from the game in real life, but they're far too small to see properly. And while some are based on actual Lego trains, they were modified so heavily that they'd still be visible at a tiny scale. The green engine however... that one never existed, and the only images we have of it are too small. Oh well, at least I can dream. Also, I remember the "just imagine..."-slogan! I LOVED that one, because it gave me such heavy nostalgia at the time, even though I was living through it. So surprised to see how short-lived it was.

I took psychic damage from that intro. I'm old, and my skin is cold. Great video though!

Hi slugger a few of the 1999 Star Wars sets included the “just imagine…” slogan on the boxes and instructions.

Do you have any specific examples? I checked the 1999 SW boxes I have and none of them had the slogan on 'em...

He was called "Alex McCloud" in the comics I think. I have all the old lego magazine comics from the era, and he shows up from time to time, in crossovers too. Maybe the internet would like to see that someday.

Finding out Chief’s name is Alex and he’s actually a Captain feels like learning some cursed forbidden knowledge.

Is there a comprehensive collection of RR comics? I have some sets which miss printed stuff... Also have a magazine cutout with a short RR comic story, i'd love to share it if it's unique in any way

Baraklava (the guy behind Manic Miners) has been scanning them all - once he's got them done, I'll make a video about them with a link!

I’ve just found my Rock Raiders comic strips that came with each set in a binder of instruction manuals! Thought they were lost to time. I assume you have these @RRSlugger

They're great, aren't they? So small though! Easy to lose them!

Slugger I know your setup may not accommodate for it, but since you are the Rock Raider expert I would like to see the total collection of sets and alternate builds in one picture sometime in a video. And I mean each and every alternate build and in-game models. I would love to see how the colors and sizes interact!

That would be quite the colossal undertaking, to say the least! I’m nearly certain no one has ever done *that* before, but it might not be outside the realm of possibility. I’ll have to take stock on what I have here… 🤔

Hey Slugger I am again recommending putting builds like the mech on Rebrickable. You can use your video as the instructions. I'd love to see your stuff there
@RRSlugger
@RRSlugger 11 ай бұрын
Thank you for the reminder to do so! I need to become more familiar with Rebrickable, now more than ever with all the Bricklink stuff going on. It’s on my bookmark toolbar now at least! 😊
