Mark Stafford, you blow my mind. And if it's not to much trouble, could you perhaps steel a look at my creation? I only have one because I am new. Could you also comment on it? So I know you saw it. Thanks!

WOW!!!

I need to put a full timeline up, its shifted a lot from that. YOu sound like me where the ideas come from something that got in your head.

No. I read a lot, I watch a lot of movies and TV and I play a lot of computer games. they all go in my head, get re-organised and pop out as the stuff I come up with. We have too many ideas of our own to ever steal anyone elses. Your Mars-Earth war premise is very cool, if you havn't read Kim Stanley Robinsons 'Mars Trilogy' you should, it too starts with teraforming, leads to an independance war and then what comes next, it's very cool and you're already thinking along similar lines.

I wondered who came up with that concept. You sir are a mad genius. I have to ask, do yall get theme ideas from here? If the answer is yes . . . http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/17897

Loved the set and I love This!!!

RAWR! I like the choice of the swords for the fingers.

Did you use two of the crystal king sets to make that?

very cool!

awesome!!! you should make this a set!!!

awesome!!! you should make this a set!!!

Very nice. It would be cool if you made some of your own custom power miners sets.

I know I already commented. Still my favorite creation of yours. Gongrats on MOTD.

This was on Brickshelf more then 6 months ago

Great job on the detailing! Congrats on MOTD!

WOW! A well deserved MOTD

The rocky texturing on him looks fantastic! Bravo! Grats on MOTD too ;) ~Thoy

Man thats the Crystal King on steroids!!!!

Rock on, Dude!

Cool! Hey, Monster would you like to have a crystal cookie?

awesome

I felt like that with the Fenrak spider head. So, I made it the rear end of a plasma canon!

Pool of PWN!

Awesome! Looks like a titan from ancient Greece! Sweet!

incredible

I remember seeing this ages ago, still awesome. GJ on getting MOTD.

O_O

Awesome, I made a smaller version but never uploaded it. Congrats on MOTD and could you maybe put up instructions?

Congrats on MOTD. 100/5 great gob, make instructions!

I Rock Master. I eat eensy-weensy caredy-cats. What caredy-cat is? Day taste good.

The one thing I never got about multihead beings is how do they decide on a single intent to act upon? Anyway, great job.

That looks like my worst nightmare... Nice build! Cheers

THIS... IS... SO...INCREDIBLE!!!!! It's so gigantic!

Wow dude! I love this! I really admire your work and you designed some great power miner sets. You designed the mine mech, didn't you. I love it! How many crystal kings would it take to build this? How much would it cost in british pounds? Because this is absolute AWSOMENESS! Please can you respond. Thanks!

Having just built the Crystal King, I have to say that this is pretty awesome. Love all the random rocky detailing. Great work.

nice! i just love the detail on the spine

Great technique for the fingers!

I saw your Crystal Master on LEGOworld 2009. I even took a picture of it!

its the best rock monster

it looks simular 2 a Ranchor from StarWars.

Not sure how the heck I missed this! Thanks to Eggy for pointing it out to me. This thing is beyond cool and now... I want one! ~ Chris.

Man do I ever wish that the Crystal Master became a set you could buy.

All I can think after seeing this guy is, "NOMNOMNOM!!!"

Pretty awesome! I like it!

Pretty awesome! I like it!

this one is so rad! i love this guy!

i am doing somthing like this with a crystal king figure and one of those rig things

wow how did you make it?

Ah, and I thought that chrystal king was scary, this is fantastic! Brilliant!

SWEET

Great. An awesome-looking, two-headed rock monster can only mean one thing: more trouble for the miners! (Wonder why LEGO doesn't put more effort in the making of rock beasts, they would really enhance the Miners sets). 5/5, no doubt.

Awsome. If you get a chance check out my mocs.

that is COOL!!!!!

WOW! Sweet. AROUGH AROOU ROO yourself! LOL

"he has a lot to say but I don't speak monster" hahaha cracked me up... no pun intended (ah heck! who am I kidding? pun definitely intended) I love power miners, I remember someone built a power miners vs rock raiders MOC, heavily biased towards the latter. hopefully general opinion has looked past the fuzzy haze of nostalgia and seen that compared to rockraiders, power miners are teh awesome!

maybe they could fire a lazor blllllaaahhhhh

maybe they could fire a lazor blllllaaahhhhh

maybe they could fire a lazor blllllaaahhhhh

the power miners are going to need a maxo weapon to beat that!!!!

Rawr, rawr.

Crystal Master rules!!!!!

a two headed rock monster how original

coool!

the legs arent symmetrical i bet u did that on prpose to still give the effect of "hes mmade of rock" its great but i wish he had more crystal pieces hes "crystal" master not"rock"master

THE MASTER IS AWESOME AND SHOULD BE A REAL SET. (man I really should have hit caps lock instead of holding down shift).

Good MOC!

Dude that things rocxk I give it a ten out of ten. Wicked. Great combination of he crystal king. Agian, awesome.

COOOOOLLLLL!!!!!

HOLY MOLY! When did you have time to make it? How did you make it?

fantastic!i especially love the fingers and the spine!

This is so awesome.(i am then grabbed by a giant hand and eaten)

Amazing! I wouldn't want to bump into him in my way to work... XD

Humm..detructive,powerfull,and big.Perfect!

THIS IS SO COOL. So sexy for it's shirt, so sexy it hurts!

that is pretty sweet please come comment on this http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/157606

nice! I agree with the monster head though, it's not really usable for anything but monsters.

I really like the twin heads, oh and the swords as fingers. Good trick, looks amazing. so you work at the Lego factory? can you get me in for a tour or something?

Wow. I like this alot more than the Crystal king set. The knives as fingers was a great idea. No offense if you made it.

If your the one that made the Crystal King Set, then this is WAY Cooler! Your Crystal King set is good and all, but man, this Crystal Master ROCKS! I don't think people realise how much trouble it takes to design sets, with making sure there's enough play features, instructions, and a reasonably attractive look. If your one of the Power Miner designers, what other sets have you made? Great Beast, I like it!

This truly is an epic creation. The poses are great, the body fantastic, and, for whatever reason, the white backdrop made it look even better. Great work.

This is sik sik sik sik sik sik sik man!!!!! I love it!!!!!

This could kick the crap out of all of the original monsters made! Excellent!

WOW! real cool, its got two heads I wish I could buy one of those:)

WWWWOOOOOWWWWW am I going crazy or what, that Crystal Master Monster is WICKED AND AWSOME I LOVE IT; MMMAAANN I wish I had one for this christmas and also I wish it was even out in store's, man that would be so cool. Pros: Big feet, big shoulders, sharp points on the rock crystal masters shoulders, (fingures don't know how to spell that word), two head, big, green, and full of green crystals. Cons: None, Keep up the good work.

Yeah! It should kill all Power miners and face the Rock Raiders with their more powerful machines.

Awesome its probably the best power miners MOC I have ever seen ~Magma

At last some one makes a good power miners moc. Great job!!!!

RoAAR HAARGH ROAAAAAR RROOOOARAR HARguRoar!!

great one! i like the two headed thing. it really gives it a different feel from the cruddy little set they released over the summer. could you check out my improved version of that set?

why can't this be a power miners set it would look so cool

"From the depths of the Earth comes the Crystal Master! Thought the Crystal King was ruler of the Rock Monsters? Think again! With his two heads he's able to use both sides of his brain at once in his quest to rid his domain of the Power Miners!" Had to say it. Great build! Perfect, I might add, given you helped design the Crystal King.

Great job! Awesome!

SWEET!

WOW! AWESOME JOB! THE TWO HEADS ARE A GREAT IDEA!

I don't normally comment on system since I am more of a bionicle creator however this creation of your is superb!

Its to sad you(everyone in general) couldn't make something as awesome like this with those Rock Raider sets :(

Yes I did! It's kinda weird to see people saying this is how TLG should do it when it was me that did that way! In defense of the set I estimate this MOC (if it was stable enough to be played with by kids) would retail for at least 6 or 7 times the price of the Crystal King!

Awesome!that crystal monster dude is the bomb!

epic in every way I can think of, the real set should have been more like this.

I don't think the head is a bad brick, but two? Well, two heads are better than one! Rock on! Crystal clear! Oh, wait...I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place...this guy is stone cold! Good use of unpopular component. Attack!

Puts LEGO's Rock monster king to shame!

Awesome, I wouldn't like to meet him on the streets, he looks really grumpy. Jokes!

Awesome giant monster!!! love it :D

Cool. You proved that the head can be useful... to make more monsters! I wonder what you could do with 3...

This is a MASTERPIECE! I'm not suprised to see a LEGO employee make such an amazing creation ;)

Did you Design the original set? I know you're one of the set designers for 'Power Miners'. :)

This is fantastic. Thats about all I got. I really like the rock monsters. I'm always torn though whether to use molded pieces or just build out of bricks classic lego style.

AWESOME,OMG so awesome! I love the troll swords for fingers(great design)

Incredible, what a wicked beastie he, um, they are!!

Freakin Cool!

Great, this is really a rock monster. If this would be an official set... awesome! IŽd buy it. Run power miners, run!!

Mike 3579, Do you realize Mark is -IN- the Power Miners team of designers at TLG? XD

This beast the c.r.a.p. out of TLG's try at a rock monster. Nice work! &^)

Egads! Can we redefine monstrosity? This is way super cool!

Sweet Jeezees, a siames twin version of that brawler! Personally I wouldn't dare complain about the head(s), I think it's spiffing...

Thank you for building this; it makes me happy =).

Super Crystal King! :O! Love the double heads, and the use of the swords for hands. :)

Coolness! I just got the monster set as a gift. I must admit that I haven't been wondering yet what to do with its head, but I'm sure we can think of more things to put it to good use.
