    Power Miners Mine Mech vs. Crystal King

    Power Miners was one of the first Lego themes I got when I was a kid, and the theme had easily the coolest sets I had seen. While Lego Star Wars had the recognizability of already established characters, Power Miners was special because of the creativity and possibilities that the story provided without the need for any previously known characters, as well as how physically interesting the sets themselves were.


    I always thought that it made the most sense for these two sets to be combined, as the Mine Mech seemed like the perfect counter they had for the Crystal King, and once I saw that play out in the classic Lego movie Clutch Powers, I was so happy to see that I wasn't the only one who made that connection. My set includes Clutch Powers and the rock monster from the movie, since I always wished he would be represented as an actual minifigure (outside of his appearance in Ninjago).


    Also, I'm sure the face for the Crystal King would look much better in Lego's style than it is here.
