LEGO 2009 / Racers / Tiny Turbos Sets

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.

2009 LEGO Sets

2009 celebrated the 10th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars and the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick. New themes included Space Police III, Power Miners, and a revival of Pirates, while Agents 2.0 continued the high-tech spy concept. LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 refined its robotics platform with enhanced sensors and programmability. The year also saw the conclusion of the original Batman line, Exo-Force, Mars Mission, and Belville, as LEGO phased out older themes in favor of new directions.
