Product Description

From the Manufacturer

With a rumble of wheels and a powerful planetary drill, here comes the Titanium Command Rig. The Power Miners’ mobile headquarters transforms from massive rolling vehicle to vertical mining platform with dual-geared spinning drill and lots of gear and accessories. Just watch out for the giant red rock-throwing monster and his lever-action throwing arm.

4.0 out of 5 stars 8 year old boy reviews Power Miners Titanium Command Rig, August 31, 2009

A Kid's Review

= Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: LEGO Power Miners Titanium Command Rig (8964) (Toy)

I was very excited to start building this set. It took me around 4 - 5 hours to build it. It looks very cool when it is all done.

The net launcer does not launch the net as far as it is supposed to.

The rock monster does not throw the rocks as far as I saw on a different review.

The crane tilt does not work good.

The drill sometimes stalls.

Only get it if you really, really want it as it is pretty expensive.

If it were $50 it would be a better value, I think.

4.0 out of 5 stars My son loves the Lego TCR!, October 23, 2009

This review is from: LEGO Power Miners Titanium Command Rig (8964) (Toy)

My son loves this toy. The instructions are in TWO books and it took several days to put it together. My husband had to help my son finish it. My son made some mistakes putting it together and my husband had to correct those. The instructions are some times difficult to follow. Some of the pieces fell on the floor as it was being assembled and some of them got stepped on and bent, but they didn't break. You will need lots of patience with tiny lego pieces to get this put together. It's expensive, too. My son saved up the $100 to buy this over several months. I think it's very over priced, but I have to admit, my son loves it and plays with it a lot.

Our seven year old boy is a lego fanatic. Though he never saw the power miner set in the stores, he had done his research and could tell us all about it. It's a hybrid between Technic kits (gears, string, girders and rivets) and the currently popular specialized pieces.

The theme of this kit is a machine that can bore into the earth horizontally or tip vertically and bore down. There are several workers who can operate cranes - apparently to pick up cages containing the "bad guys" one encounters when making a journey to the center of the planet. Oddly, these guys seem to like Bananas - there were one or two that came with the set - even lego guys need Potassium!

There is a gear system to spin the drill and tweaking things to make them work well is a big part of the fun. Certainly a great kit that is (apparently) no longer in production.
