Revisiting Power Miners: The First Wave

[@ae112r]

Truly the best LEGO theme ever. I wish they would revisit it, I feel like it would do really well, but at the same time they set the bar too high in 2009

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's a good point - I'm honestly not sure how they could outdo what they did back in 2009. Still would love to see them try though!

One of my favorite 2000s lego themes. I miss getting sets that weren’t a license, or trying to be a huge blockbuster theme like bionicle, just simple themes to last 3 waves. Never got any of these sets sadly but a great theme and a great video about it.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Yeah, LEGO's in-house themes are always the best.

[@JoshuaNorth-yc5bx]

actually as a guy who works in construction, you would not believe how many people share the same name here (currently we have three people with the same name, among a few others who share the same name) so my headcanon is that it's not a 'one true Duke' thing, and it's actually that all three share the same first name and everyone just calls them Duke

[@CheeseyStudios]

Ha! I love that. I can definitely get behind that theory too 😂

[@hibernator8198]

I had these sets as a kid and I genuinely didn’t believe they were real until a year ago or so. No one in my family remembered my sets and I wasn’t sure myself. This has unlocked thousands of memories for me.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Lol! I'm glad this brought back good memories though. This theme was the bomb

[@DaKoalaBoi]

Oh yes one of the best lego themes ever, the Amount of detail you get in these sets just Amazes me still to this day! I wish lego would bring make themes like this. And you did a good job on the video.

Glad you enjoyed! This theme was so sell executed. I love seeing what the designers come up with without having licensing restrictions

[@landlighterfirestar5550]

Dude, I don’t know what it is but your videos stick out to me in terms of quality. I literally found you no less than 2 days ago and you have a new subscriber. Would absolutely LOVE to see more retrospectives of classic lego themes! This era of Lego was my childhood Also just at the start so if you mentioned this my bad, but the thing that stuck out to me the most with Power Miners was the durability. Most of those sets are *rock* solid and the Claw Digger and Thunder Driller in particular could quite literally be dropped down the stairs and be ok

[@CheeseyStudios]

So glad you found the channel! These are my favorite type of video to do, and I definitely have plans for more. I do think I neglected to talk about the stability, but you're totally right - these things were bulletproof! Even compared to Mars Mission just a few years earlier there's so much improvement

[@general236joelhowitzer6]

NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!! My cousin and I LOVED this theme of LEGO sets! We tried to collect them all together. My first one was #2 but my favorite was #6

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's awesome! Did you ever end up getting them all?

[@epicgamingakafails4497]

Just picked up the Thunder Driller, And Claw Digger for less than retail and Crystal Sweeper for 65 because of this video and my nostalgia. Also picked up the rock wrecker so I could own every type of rock monster. All the sets with instructions and boxes too. Cant wait for the wave 2 video

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's epic! Well played getting them for decent prices too. Part 2 is coming in December - it's scheduled and ready to go :D

[@snoopersnoopy]

What a great theme! Each set has a distinct playability feature and fun pieces to build with. The rock monsters are some really unique figures, and the colors indeed slap. Great retrospective!

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's amazing how well this theme still stands out in an era filled with great sets and themes. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Phickic]

I had all of these sets save the last one. Watching this was the most nostalgic I've fealt in a long long time.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Such a great theme. Glad you got to experience these sets in person

[@erikbattles]

First off, this was a great video and retrospective. High quality and very entertaining. This theme holds a special place in my heart. I had the vehicles 2 through 6 but didn't really see the need to buy the smallest set as my younger brother had that one and I already had the red rock monster. Even still, I sort of viewed my five vehicles as a complete set, something I was proud to have collected as I was never really able to buy every set of a Lego theme. I remember driving these bad boys around on the carpet and stairs, going on expeditions looking for monsters and crystals. You're right about the rock monsters being the main draw, and I also really liked the crystal pieces. The thing I remember most from these sets is the claw digger's sheer destructive capability, you could swing those arms with some serious force. I definitely chipped and bashed up those orange claw pieces on my set lol.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! It's great to see how many people have fond memories of these sets. They were such a delight, and I'm sure glad I got to grow up with them too.

[@dd11111]

I loved the look of these sets. I really wanted to get more when I was a kid and seeing how cool the Sweeper and Boulder Blaster now I REALLY wished I had them as a kid.

[@CheeseyStudios]

They function well and look great doing it. Yeah, these were a lot of fun! (Still are!)

[@catfish552]

Great video! I only bought the mech back in the day, to get a rock monster (an adorable little figure with fun proportions) and the new diamond element. It's so funny to me to see Power Miners as nostalgic theme that people fondly remember now, because I always remember that parts of the AFOL community HATED it when it came out. It was not well received and was the butt of jokes for a while. It makes me wonder if newer themes that were somewhat lukewarm during their run, like Nexo Knights, will get similar nostalgia 10+ years from now.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Interesting! I was honestly totally unaware of any AFOL hate it might have received because I can promise you that all the kids at school thought these things were the bomb. Are all the kids who "grew up with" Vidiyo gonna be the ones having nostalgic retrospectives in the future? 😂

[@catfish552]

@@CheeseyStudios Maybe! Either that, or they'll remember it some day and wonder whether it was some kind of Lego-based fever dream.

I had the Thunder Driller and I remember you could easily open the engine part. I don't know if it was just another place to store things but I used the space to install my lego motor. It was super fun to make it actually drive and drill with a motor. It really felt like the set was made for a motor but I have never seen any mention about it.

[@CheeseyStudios]

One of the very best! Glad you have some of these sets too

[@edoardom3677]

This decade was a Lego renaissance, and the prices felt very accessible. This line still looks playful, my favourite were Atlantis and Galaxy Squad, both of them on the more "mature" style, Atlantis first wave still being my fave Lego series ever, and Galaxy Squad having the most solid and clean builds I've ever seen, but being the one on the ending tale of this incredible wave of in-house themes and unfortunately failing soundly, almost as much as Alien Conquest

[@CheeseyStudios]

I do love Atlantis too. This was certainly a golden era for LEGO!

[@enclavehere.7995]

I loved it because it was a very industrial theme. And lets face it, Lego excels when it comes to sets that are heavy machinery because it usually means more cool play features (a rotating drill, a large bucket, big wheels, missiles, mechs, etc.) If there are any themes I'd love to come back, it would be Power Miners, Castle (Fantasy), Space Police, Pirates, Agents (original) and Mars Mission (this last one I never got to get any sets of, although I wanted them badly). I also never noticed how well they nailed the distinct "factions" (for lack of better term) of these themes until now Edit: I also just remembered that me and my brother LOVED Power Miners so much that when we were little, we asked our grandma if she could make us Power Miner costumes for Halloween (mine was the red Rock Monster, my brother was a Power Miner).

One really underrated aspect of your channel is how articulate you are; a lot of toy reviewers/collectors/enthusiasts/whatever you want to call the profession, have no idea how to speak legibly and it makes it really difficult to watch when you're listening to them for a whole video. Very limited vocabulary and a grammatical error in every sentence. You actually know the names of pieces and objects instead of just saying "a wheel thingy"

I remember getting 1 & 2 at the same time, and they had a combo build, which is pretty rare nowadays, and was even rare back then for System themes.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'm quite dumbfounded right now lol - I had no idea 13 was skipped but you're so right! I wonder what they had planned for it? Or perhaps it was intentional because of the stigma surrounding the number? It's weird any way you slice it!

Power miners will always be to me a spiritual successor to Rock Raiders, though the sets were more primitive, it combined with Aquazone, and Insectoids will probably be my favorite lego sets of all time.

[@admiralcasperr]

I have a theory why this set didn't sell as well as they hoped for. Put it simply: The Clone Wars was airing at that time, and it was the biggest commercial for the Star Wars Lego sets you could hope for. Having a giant drill vehicle was cool, but commanding an army of clones was cooler. Especially with AT-TEs. Power Miners is was still my third favourite theme as a kid, behind Star Wars (cuz it had cool blasters) and Lego City (I was into cars and services like the 9 yo that I was). What could've help this theme would be some proper cartoon shorts and maybe a page of the lore in the Lego catalogues to get you interested into reinacting that. Also knowing the names of the monsters before you bought the sets and saw the instructions would've been beneficial as the are so cheesy and cool it's amazing.
