VERY Disappointing

I just put my 7 year old to sleep sobbing. After working very hard doing choores and saving every penny he could find, he finally bought the Crystal Sweeper. This poorly designed toy has been his first serious disappointment in the Lego brand. The design simply stinks!! There is no way to actually play with it without it falling apart. By the way, it is absurd to charge $69.99 for this!!! He is begging me to find a way to take it back. What a shame to lose a lego enthusiast at such a young age!! As a general rule, the ideas are great, and they are fun for children, but this failure is awfully expensive!! By the way his biggest chore was doing DOG POOP DUTY in our yard!!! I forgot to mention that we have several very big dogs!!!!!
Fun fun fun!

I just got this for my son. It took us a little over an hour to put it together. Pros: 2 rock monsters, 2 miners, a catapult for the Rock monsters. Crystals, a dirt bike, which is located on the sweeper, and 2 dynamites. It holds rather well. There aren't too many pieces to knock off accidentally. Cons: One has to remove the top of the cabin in order to get the marine in or out. Sweeper functions well on flat surfaces, however, I wouldn't recommend using it on carpet, which the sweeper tends to slide and it won't function properly. Crystals are easy to lose (as it usual with small Lego parts). Would be much better if the rock monsters had vehicles also. Overall, it is a lot of fun. He is certainly looking forward to add more Power Miners to his collection. Worth the value.
Warning! falls apart too easily

I am nine and very good at putting legos together, this took ALOT of time and when I was done, I couldnt even play with it and then it fell apart so I dedided to take it apart and try again! I put glue on the wheels to try and keep them on, the problem is, you can't PLAY with this toy, the rock monsters and crystals and figures are fun, the sweeper part doesn't really put the rockmonsters and crystals in the container its ok but you may not want to get this toy.
