About Aquaraiders I

Three machines, one year

Hydro Reef Wrecker (2162-1) is the flagship at 288 pieces. Aqua Dozer (2161-1) follows with 137 pieces, and Crystal Scavenger (2160-1) completes the trio with 114. All three were released in 1997, which makes this one of the most compact chapters of Aquazone and a realistic goal if you want a complete faction on your shelf. The numeral in the name separates them from Aquaraiders II, a 2007 range also filed under Aquazone. The parts lists on each set page make it easier to sort loose bricks back into the right model. Each of the three sets is named after what it does, from wrecking reefs to scavenging crystals.
