“I love the whole 2010 PM line and this set in particular, it has a great look, neat parts, excellent minifigs and a fun play feature. The accessories are neat as well, we get a crystal, a pick-axe, a shovel, dynamite, binoculars, a frying pan and a sausage.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The LEGO set in question appears to captivate both through its innovative design and the intriguing play feature of its claw function, sparking considerable excitement upon assembly. Its inclusion of highly regarded minifigures, particularly the favored lava monster Infernox alongside the character Brains, adds substantial value for collectors interested in unique and thematic characters.”
