Actually, I recall that Power Miners actually did get a complete ending in a two-page LEGO Club Magazine comic. If my memory is correct, the bigfig in the Lavatraz set was the last of the Rock Monsters, and by defeating him the earthquakes stopped happening. Not the most riveting ending, but it gave the needed closure my eight-year-old self.

I love this series to death right now, it's hard to find actually sophisticated analysis of Lego themes as opposed to 3 minute unboxing videos by a shouty dude

"Then, at the other end of the spectrum, you have aliens; a dark and grim universe where humans aren't valued" .... clearly you've never heard of warhammer 40k!

"Power Miners" was such a great theme. Shame the second year wasn't quite as good before the theme died. Perhaps the first year didn't make as much money as Lego wanted, so they didn't put as much work into the second year. That's my thoughts anyway.

I loved the Rock Raiders game, might have been one of the best LEGO games ever.

I remember when the Power Miners came out. I loved the theme, colors, and vehicles. The alternate builds were so much fun to build. Power Miners released at the time when the Star Wars Clone Wars sets were dominating and I really didn't like the way the faces of the minifigs in those sets looked at the time. I just love the underground digging idea. As a kid I loved to dig in the dirt, so this theme really clicked with me. I remember having all sorts of scenarios built in my room. So much fun.

I had 2 older brothers who both total 90s kids, I was always so jealous of their rock raiders sets. When Power Miners was first teased with that animation of the drill bursting through the cave wall into a rock monster I was SO excited. I still remember the hype

I grew up with power miners so I’m probably biased but it’s one of my favourite themes of all time. Every set had a mining function, even the polybag, and it was a theme that exemplified what I love about Lego at the time, that it was focused entirely on affordable fun toys for kids. Plus shiny plastic crystals pretty

As a 27 yr old man I can confidently say rock raiders next to Johnny thunder was my absolute favorite.

Rock Raiders was my jam. i LOVED that theme with a passion. the hover scout, the chrome crusher, the granite grinder, it was AMAZING. The game only reinforced my love for it.

This is a very cool show, I love your analysis of these old lego themes, it is very refreshing content!

I was born a bit late to the Rock Raiders theme, but I did play the game, and my god is it awesome! It's somewhat of an Age Of Empire clone without all the combat obviously. It was a ton of fun. Shame I couldn't find any Rock Raider sets though.

Good lord, when I first saw the Power Miners color scheme, I bloody hated it. I thought it was extremely garish and there was so much of the unappealing green! Nowadays, it's been long enough that I look back on this with nostalgia. There's been a great number of good LEGO ideas over the years, and this was one of them.

I remember seeing Lego Power Miners when I was growing up. Now that I look back at many of these themes, I appreciate them better than I did in my day, so I thank you for all the themes you've been able to cover overall.

I had the PC version of the Rock Raiders video game back in the early 2000's and played it a lot (but never beat it), so it's pretty nostalgic for me even though I didn't get any of the sets until much later.

The best thing I remember about Power Miners is the tie-ins it had with the Clutch Powers Movie.

Did you know the underground atmosphere for Rock Raiders was inspired by the Dinotopia books by James Gurney? You can especially see this in the Dinotopia book "The world beneath".
