Product Review: Claw Digger

Ah, yes. The Claw Digger. A new set from Power Miners, and my only one. Ah well.
   This set comes with a miner named Rex and a nifty little Sulfurix rock monster. It also includes two crystals, a pickaxe, a chainsaw, and a stick of dynamite. (It's a very neat piece.)
  On to the play features. On the front is a shovel for picking up crystals. On the sides are two impressively large claws for smashing rocks. Or digging. (Hence the name.)
   You see that big engine on the back? Makes you wonder if this is an ordinary gasoline-powered vehicle. Hmmm. Let's check that little sticker near the back.
   Oooh. This thing doesn't run on gasoline.
     Ladies and gentlemen, this thing runs on "gasolone."
  Oops. That's a problem. You see, gasolone isn't the most common of fuels.
     Asides from the fueling problem, the only other con is the shovel. It doesn't scoop properly.
  All in all, this is a good set. Completely worth $19.99 plus tax.
      This set gets 9 out of 10 gold studs (this blog's rating system.)
