“This set is a must-have for Tiny Turbo enthusiasts, featuring five cars that solve previous design issues and offer great parts, including a well-designed hot rod. While there are minor design flaws, such as the rear light and windshield, the set still earns a solid 4.5 stars, making it a highly recommended addition for fans.”
 

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.
