Power Miners @ Target!

I just found a few of the Power Miner sets at Target. The set seemed high priced to me, must be the specialty pieces. I think the only way I would get them is if someone bought them for me. I'm not impressed with these at all.

True. I just want a few of the new crystals, dynamite and bley utensil axes.

I think he means bluish grey pickaxes.

The little hatchets. If you go on Bricklink, they are under the minifig utensil section. I thought I saw one on a Power Miners box pic. I could be mistaken.

UN, if you are correct that would indeed be nifty.

What part of the country are you in? I checked my local Target and they didn't have em'. (Though they restocked quite a bit)

I found one set at my local Target today (Charlotte, NC). It was set 8958 that's pictured above - sorry Username, but the hatchet in this set is black.

I'm in Colorado. They didn't have any today. I'm guessing the obnoxious colors are drawing them to children.

I'm usually a grumpy, critical bastard, but I'm kinda digging these sets (heh heh). I don't mind the green and orange because those are pretty standard utility vehicle colors.

Oh I think I can be critical. Just bleah. I am not in the target market for this. There may be some useful parts, but I have other Rock Monsters to fry.

Two things I like about these sets.
One is the little rock dudes. From the pictures I had seen, I didn't think I would like them. Now that I have a couple, I absolutely love them and so do my kids. They're just plain fun.
Two is the new element that looks like a sloped grill. Very greebly.
I agree the color selection isn't great but I've gotten over it.
Now to build my Rock Monster minion army...
