LEGO Rock Raiders was a theme that was released in 1999 and was based on space miners trapped on an alien planet. The theme was made up of eight main sets and four promotional sets as well as three minifigures sets. The Rock Raiders theme was discontinued in 2000. The theme had several elements that were reprized in the Power Miners theme ten years later.
2000 LEGO Sets
2000 was a year of transition and innovation for LEGO. The company introduced RoboRiders, Knights’ Kingdom, Life on Mars, Studios, and a Soccer/Football theme while retiring veteran designer Jens Nygaard Knudsen, creator of the minifigure. Star Wars launched its first Ultimate Collector Series sets—the X-wing Fighter (7191) and TIE Interceptor (7181)—establishing LEGO’s adult collector market. BIONICLE debuted in select regions, setting the stage for a major global launch. Recognized as 'Toy of the Century,' the LEGO brick entered the new millennium as both a cultural icon and a growing creative platform.
