“The blue pickup and the police monster is absolutely good, but not on the elevated chassis. Very good to make a replica police SUV of the Bridge Chase kit, but in this monster form it's 2/5 rating only, due to the unrealistic design.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The LEGO set's red truck receives high praise for its versatility and design, allowing it to seamlessly transition from a lifted chassis to a more conventional street car look. Similarly, the white hot rod truck is also highly regarded, both vehicles earning a perfect score for design.”
 

About Racers Tiny Turbos

Tiny Turbos was a Racers subtheme of small cars, four studs wide, sold from 2005 to 2011. Most came in a plastic case with a lid shaped like half a wheel, and the case could be kept as storage. Larger sets put two or more cars in one box, some with a garage or a stretch of road. The range covered rally cars, monster trucks, police cars, tow trucks and hot rods, and from 2008 it had the Ferrari licence, with Formula 1 cars, a pit stop and the team truck. Tiny Turbos was ended in 2011 along with the rest of Racers, and LEGO's licensed race cars carried on later in Speed Champions.

Tiny Turbos consists of 70 sets that ran from 2005 to 2011. As of today, 30036 Buggy Racer is the most valuable Tiny Turbos set with an estimated new/sealed value of $232.
