A unique play feature allows the motor shield to open, revealing the intricate gearing system and chambers for storing excavated crystals. The set comes with two dedicated miners and a troublesome rock monster, ready for subterranean encounters. This impressive 20cm long vehicle also combines with the #8958 Granite Grinder to form the even larger Aero Shredder, expanding play possibilities.
