Good analogy, Pam. Thanks

What can you share with me about
My daughter who just received the set as a Lego Employee Christmas gift, asked
me about it. I sheepishly told her I know nothing about the "BrickLink Designer
Program" sets. Never did paid attention to the program since launched in
2019, I'm ashamed to say
I appreciate all/any input, which I might pass onto her. Thanks

I know a lot of people prefer to keep theirs sealed but I built mine as soon
as I received it. I'll say I'm not a fan of it lacking instructions...
It was hard understanding them at time due to the various angles and my phone
overheated a lot trying to render the 3D images.
It's a good display piece though. I'd only sell it if you're looking
to make money because as time goes on, more and more of these are bound to be
opened and built. I don't regret building mine.

I Have just gone threw a bulk purchase and found one blue brick made of a hard
rubber.
It has the lego logo on all the studs but no holes underneath to stack, it is
solid.
It is also slightly undersized.
Is this a genuine thing from somewhere?

I'll take a wild guess that if rubbed on a pencil mark it will remove it.

If she doesn't think she'll enjoy building it, she should keep it sealed
and get her dad to sell it!

It's quite a famous set. It was the reason we decided to sell 10,000 copies
instead of 5,000 for the BDP invitational series. Being one of the first to go
through a new process, it has a number of unique characteristics you will not
see elsewhere, including the story of the red crab.
It is also in a line of outstanding castle sets:
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-1/482/Mountain-Fortress
This last one will be sold in the spring, and we don't know exactly how it
will fare. But it is beautiful and huge.

They are beautifully designed sets for sure.
Thank you, Russell

Thanks nubs, we got that much.
I'm speaking of opinions of the set. Opinions as to should she hang on to
it sealed. Opinions as to the set's standing within the lineup of BrickLink
Designer Program sets. The designer, backstory, etc.
In short, what's not found on pages here, opinions.
Thanks anyway

| Author: | Saitobricks.ca | | Posted: | Dec 23, 2023 11:05 | | Subject: | Re: Is Rock Raiders a space theme? | | Viewed: | 44 times | | Topic: | LEGO products | |
| Yes rock raiders is a space theme. At least according to the video game.
HOWEVER take away the game and there is little evidence of space anything.
In the game the rock raiders come from a massive space ship that was sucked into
a wormhole. And the rock monsters are aliens.
But take the game away and they are just miners, and the rock monsters are, well
just rock monsters.
It all depends on how you look at it. There is evidence that the game was developed
with the sets, therefore meaning that the game and the theme are vary closely
related and go together.
But the theme was heavily influenced by the game which in my opinion means that
rock raiders is indeed, a space theme.

| Hmmm, I was surprised to see it in my mail box today, maybe it was released early
based on location.
I’ve also added it to the BL catalog too, it’s currently pending approval.

Interesting post. I'm following it hoping to glean something about what is
a fun and fairly unique Lego line. I've always dug (pun intended )
the theme, sadly without knowing a thing of it's origin or even storyline.

had a booklet with a Space theme timeline in it, and Rock Raiders
is not in that. Whether that is proof that they don't consider a Space theme
is debatable.
I doubt they care too much, at least for public facing information, as it is
not a current theme. And even if it was a current theme, it would just be classed
as "Rock Raiders" for the website. There is no space theme on LEGO's
official website.
I assume that the sets would appear if it was current and you used the menu to
choose "interests" then "space", just like if you use that today
it will bring up anything space related. But that is not really a theme selector,
as if you use it now it picks up the ICONS Space Shuttle through to the Duplo
Space Shuttle, the City Space theme, the ICONS Galaxy Explorer and the Star Wars
theme. It is "space" as an interest filter for current products, not
"Space" as a branch of a historical catalogue.

Let’s not go there.
If it is your goal to put them into the ‘space’ section I would be against it,
if RR goes in other may well be following too and cumulate inside an already
large categorie.
Split categories work better in my opinion, better than subcategories.
I already think the ‘space’ section should be smaller with more having their
own categorie.
