The Granite Grinder set is a very nice set and I got it (like most of my sets) as a present when it came out, so I didn't really have to worry about the price. This set comes with three rare pieces which I've only seen in the LEGO® Rock Raiders theme. The huge brown roll cage piece and the shiny silver driller are exclusive to this theme and this set, for example. I like the design of this set and the colours which LEGO® used to build this model.
This set comes with Axel, who is a miner of the Rock Raiders crew. He's included in most of the sets of this theme, which can be really annoying. If you have a look in the cockpit you can see two joysticks, a dashboard and a turquoise computer which is printed and which is the 3rd exclusive piece which we got in this set and in this theme.
The mechanism, how the legs of the mech work is really ingenious and awesome. You also don't need to worry about stickers. It also has three ideas which you can build with the pieces of this set. You can find them on the back of the box.
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
I bought this product myself. Nothing has been sponsored by the LEGO® group or by third parties.
