Mining[1] is a subtheme of City introduced in 2012. The theme was later revisited in 2018 under the new title Mining Experts.[2]
Description
The main color scheme of the 2012 Mining sets is yellow, with green as a secondary color for the trucks in 4203 and 4204. The mining helmets are the only all-new piece in this theme, there are several new face and torso printings. All of the sets (except 30151) have dynamite, and all (except 30152) have gold. The gold included in the sets is in bars, studs, and large crystals.
For the 2018 Mining Experts sets, the main color scheme remained yellow, but red was chosen to be the secondary color.
