|Description from LEGO.com='''Grab every crystal before the rock monsters do!'''<br />
Hungry rock monsters are on the loose, gobbling up crystals and causing havoc underground. Unleash the Crystal Sweeper and get them first! This massive mining vehicle spins its auto-rotating harvester wheel to collect a huge cargo of crystals and drop them into its rear-mounted bucket. Use the side-mounted laser crane to drill through rock, or deploy the motorcycle and ramp for emergency escapes and rescues. Just watch out for the monsters and their double-launching catapult!
* Roll the vehicle to activate the rotating harvester and scoop up the crystals into the bucket!
* Extend the drilling arm and pivot into position!
* Includes 2 miner and 2 rock monster minifigures!
* The set can be combined with [[8959 Claw Digger]] to create the [[Crystal Crawler]].
* Measures over 9" (22cm) long and 6" (15cm) wide!
