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.
2008 LEGO Sets
2008 celebrated two milestones: the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick and the 30th anniversary of the minifigure. LEGO Cuusoo (later LEGO Ideas) launched in Japan, paving the way for fan-designed sets. Indiana Jones joined Star Wars as LEGO’s second Lucasfilm theme, and Speed Racer appeared briefly alongside it. In-house lines included Agents and the debut of LEGO Architecture, aimed at adult collectors. The Green Grocer (10185) further elevated the Modular Buildings line, confirming its status among LEGO’s most prestigious collections.
