As the title suggests, this topic is purposed for the general discussion of obscure and/or rare LEGO merchandise. In particular though I wanted to share some obscure Japanese Rock Raiders merchandise I acquired sometime ago via an online Japan shopping intermediary service. Included among them are the following: -11 Japanese LRR sticker sheets, all of which are duplicates -A green Rock Raiders CD case with the Chrome Crusher, a Rock Monster, ore, and Energy Crystals printed on the front -What's apparently a functional miner's headlamp in its original box -2 sealed Jet keychain polybags -18 Japanese LRR cards featuring a silver scratch-off area on the front, along with a telephone number and other information on the reverse What's especially interesting about this all is that the aforementioned cards seem to have been geared towards a contest of some kind given their contents. Further, on the back there's 4 prizes/items cited, and if I remember correctly, they were cited also in the auction's description, and when the page was translated by Google Chrome they were revealed to be the other items included in the auction. Perhaps hinting at the possibility that this contest never took place or didn't pan out exactly as planned. If anyone can help shed some more light on this please do so.

LMS Explorer Hangar Bays [WIP] This is still very much a work-in-progress, but I just thought I'd share it with you all prematurely in case anyone felt ambitious enough to expand on it where we left off as it's unlikely I'll continue it myself for sometime in my current mental state. The aim of this project was to assist Arthuriel in recreating the entirety of the LMS Explorer to an even greater extent. This was/is a collaborative effort between myself and Lair in that I built the large majority of it and did all the numerically-intensive calculations whilst he helped me circumvent some issues I was encountering with the positioning of the hangar doors on either side, and incorporated the Small Transport Truck and Granite Grinder, and a few other elements into the scene. Before I continue I should also give credit to Daedalus304, who to quote PeabodySam "provided LXF models of the Rock Raiders sets and created custom replacements for the Rock Raiders cockpit, chassis, drill, and mining laser."
