Well, it turns out my original Tool Store video had a number of notable errors in it, so we’re back for a rematch! This time around, I think Slugger’s got it right!
An extra special thank you to Juniper and Baraklava for helping me out with the Tool Store model; without them, this video would not have been possible!
Here are the Step By Step photos if you would like to go at your own pace!

I create all of the photography and stop motion animation you see in these videos. Brett creates all of the original artwork.
Thanks for watching everyone!

I wasn't any wiser the previous video, but I think it's really cool you took your "goof" and constructed it into a great video on reverse engineering an in-game model! Also, love how you edit your building instructions to fit your music: here are the pieces [beat], here's where they go [beat]
Are you going to make tutorials on other builds from the PC game?
Does this mean you’re going through all the buildings before the vehicles?
I really respect the dedication you put into your content! Outstanding.
I like your extreme attention to details ahah! Great video 🙂
Surprised it wasn't Duplo Bob
Is there a source where we can find the prototype images? Specifically, the ones you assumed were DDI, but were in fact from the Lego Group.
Another amazing video! I finally got the game working on my PC again and played through! Man I missed it.
I audibly cheered when I saw the Power Station on the horizon. I already had picked up the pieces for it on bricklink and they're on their way now from Germany and Hungary!
Rock Raiders AND Bob the Builder? Be still, my childhood heart
4:19 I’m shocked to see a Sparks mech!! I actually had planned a moc that is eerily similar
4:16 is that a 6040 propeller in dark turquoise? That would be so cool for aquatic RR MOCs
Wow, what a process!
I really respect that amount of work and research and digging; I definitely only do that for the things I love the most, so it's nice to see that you do it for Rock Raiders!
I also appreciate your willingness to say "I messed up, and here's the fix".
And Bob… oh, Bob… I haven't seen him in many, MANY years. You calling him Robert, though, THAT threw me for a BIG loop.
I appreciate the new instructions and the look at your process! I can't wait to keep up with this new sub-series within Rock Raiders, even if I'm not exactly building along at home!
EDIT: Oh, might I suggest that, since the music you use has been released on YouTube, you put a link to it on YouTube in the description?
I personally would list it out by title and then link each one, and then, if you have a new one, it just doesn't get linked, but that's just me.
Following your videos with great interest – keep them coming!
I really enjoyed hearing about the process you take to try to make these as accurate as possible, and the various sources you consult to make it so. I remember trying to build a tool store and Teleport pad as a kid with my older brother, and we didn't have much to work from outside of the in-game renders and instructions, and we didn't even have the full box version of the PC game either so the renders in the instructions were even smaller!
I think I have enough pieces now to attempt this version!
Привет! Классное видео) К сожалению с русскими субтитрами теперь нельзя смотреть , поэтому я плохо понимаю о чем ты рассказываешь. Можешь в кратко объяснить о чем рассказываешь?
I’m considering getting a rock raiders set, this theme sounds really interesting!
I’ll admit, that Bob the Builder joke at the beginning really gave me a wave of nostalgia, as it was one of my favorites growing up. Either way, great job on this video. I’ve been watching a lot of your Rock Raiders content, and its started making me interested in trying it out for myself. (Though I’ll always be partial to Power Miners, as I had the Thunder Driller as a kid.)
3:14 it's hard to tell, but that v1.1 of Jet looks like a guy, so I'm really glad the final version is more feminine. More female rock raiders please, I have to use my Alpha squad and paradisa minifigures to make up the gender gap
P.s. the scorpions are just as legit as the slimey slugs :p as a kid I thought at first RR took place on earth because of all the earth like animals in the game (bats, slugs, spiders, ect) but eventually I realized it was like a mirror earth in another galaxy. I like how the rock monsters were originally meant to be more Doom like, with demonic horns and scorpion tails of their own. and I think I remember reading somewhere that there are ruins of an ancient civilization both on the surface and in certain levels underground, so after I finish the section I'm on now I want to make a "ruined city" level
the Lego rockraiders Game for the playstation is a compleatly different beast to the Pc version.
Hey! Slugger did you know that lego made a Bob the builder Duplo sets?
I am amused by the fact that your mascot uses pieces that you have an entire video aboutnwhybthey are a plauge😊
Amazing intro 😀 excited
You sound so much like the company man 🔥
Not even a huge lego fan but your vids are so fun and impressive. You rock dude!
Hi slugger. The Lego stunts bike has a cool turquoise bike. It has a gg on the light, but its easy to ignore, and fits in well with rock raiders.
If the 10 buck chicken on the bike.
I think if Lego did this more often bulding a game around the toy. Rather then a game into a toy. A lot of Lego theme would be a lot better.
