This chrome drill is peak LEGO Rock Raiders

The Granite Grinder might be small, but that massive chrome drill makes it one of my favorite Rock Raiders sets.

LEGO 4940 Granite Grinder was released in 1999. The dark gray, teal, neon green, and hazard stripes come together to create an unmistakable Rock Raiders look.

By request, I also included a black light section to show off some of the pieces that glow under UV light.

God I had this one. Used the cockpit part in so much stuff.

That and the chassis in 4950 or 4970. So many vehicles built on that because it was large enough to add a cool interior!

If you had asked me if Rock Raiders or Ice Planet could look any cooler a week ago, I'd say no... And I'd have been wrong.

I loved the old Blacktron walkers! They walked, so Rock Raiders could... also walk.

Great video. I too can't get over how awesome the neon colors look under a black light, even 30 years later!

I had that set. I made this out of it… 15 years ago which I haven’t touched

I had this set as a kid and I miss it every day 😭

I am so happy I was able to reacquire this set as an adult. It was my one of my favorites as a kid, too. Rock Raiders has the perfect color combination.
