“This is an awesome vehicle, and one of my favourite Rock Raiders vehicles and possibly one of my favourite of all time. The Crusher - shares its name with the Power Miners Cave Crusher - is easy and fun to build. The undercarriage is brilliantly designed and can handle a ton... More o'stuff ladled on top of it.”

“The Chrome Crusher is pretty large. Large doesn't equal good though, and even compared to other sets of its time this is pretty bad.”
