I found three of the Rock Raider sets at a local TRU (South Hills,
Pittsburgh, PA).

They were:
4910

A $3 set that is decent on its own, and for those interested in individual
pieces it includes a white haired female head, one of those new hatch plates
(like the one on top of the Sith Infiltrator). A few tools, clear crystal,
and two turquoise pieces: a control console and a 2x2 slope with computer
decoration. It also has two 3-way sloped 1x2 brick and a roof ridge/corner
overhang. Unfortunately the head of my figure was blurred.

4920

I know the one thing people will probably hate most about this set is the
BURP skis with connecting braces. Other than that it is another decent small
set. Parts-wise it also has a new hatch plate, a turquoise 2x3 decorated
slope, and a brown bearded guy with a body that is wearing a fishing-style
vest. Also a pair of dark gray side jets.

4970

I didn't pick up this set yet. It only has one figure, who has a pretty
weird grin. Semi-insane... Looks like a lot more BURP-heavy.


A final amusing side note:

All of these Rock Raider figures talk in bad Australian accents.

(...) I found the same three sets at my local TRU. Unfortunately you are correct about 4970 Chrome Crusher. The set seems to be far too juniorized. The main base of the vehicle is a large plate that has bricks with side pegs for the four wheels (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.general)
