I thought the rock raiders wrench was new for '99 but lately I saw it in a fabuland set. Did they just hide this piece for 20 years and not use it in any sets??? NICK :^A (24 years ago, 16-Jul-00, to lugnet.underground)

(...) I agree that Rock Raiders sucks as a theme the way Lego has done it.

In the Ultimate Lego Book it has a picture of a set they never made. It had a white rock monster & rock raiders chief. It was just an old, unused version of the granite grinder, but they recently made chief, so who knows, Ice Monster may be next? (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.underground)
