Hungry rock monsters are on the loose underground, devouring crystals and creating chaos. Unleash the powerful Crystal Sweeper, set 8961-1, to collect them first! This massive mining vehicle features an auto-rotating harvester wheel, designed to scoop up a huge cargo of crystals and deposit them into its rear-mounted bucket. Roll the vehicle to activate the harvester and gather crystals. For tough obstacles, extend the side-mounted laser crane and pivot it to drill through rock. Need a quick getaway or a rescue? Deploy the motorcycle and ramp for emergency actions. Just be vigilant, as the rock monsters are equipped with a double-launching catapult! The set includes 2 intrepid miner minifigures and 2 formidable rock monster minifigures. The Crystal Sweeper measures over 9 inches (22 cm) long and 6 inches (15 cm) wide.
