“This set is very nice. The minifigures are the highlight of the set. I really like the firax lava monster, it is transparent orange and has awesome new black rock arms. The miner is almost equally as awesome. It is one of the new silver armoured miners with a new visor... More piece.”

“The set's nothing phenomenal, and I encourage you to spend your money on last year's Power Miners sets if given the choice between those and this. But for US buyers like me who don't yet have Lavatraz or the Claw Catcher at their local toy stores, this is probably the first... More 2010 Power Miners set to grab. And it'll go great even with your 2009 Power Miners collection.”
