Bring back racers.... I loved these and with glow in the dark bits what more could you want. Soooo many different designs for such little cars. And where have the Italian large cars gone (Ferrari and Lamorghini's where great). Chiron is coming out soon and I suppose we did have an F-40. Bring back the little ones perfect for kids pocket money or AFOLS who like cars.
H'mmm... First time I see this one!... Wonder why I never noticed them before..
I didn't have this one, but those tiny turbo's wgere fun.
@Lego34s I think Speed Champions fills that gap pretty well, no?
I don't know, I like these little small-scale vehicles, I think they're cute.
@sid3windr Yes I Also like Speed Champions (have 95% of them) but they are inbetween. Great but neither the small cute "matchbox" type cars nor the more detailed ones. I was going to mention the Ferrari F1 cars which Speed Champions have continued at the same sort or scale.
I had a lot of fun with the racers sets when I was younger. I wouldn't mind seeing them make a comeback.
Both cars look nicer than any of the police chase sets from City recently.
I have always liked buildings over cars, but I did like this theme very much.
I enjoyed Tiny Turbos a a kid. Those small cars were always fun to build and race.
I was hoping when they came out with the new pullback motor piece (and similarly sized cars) for the Shell promos, that there would be a similarly scaled to Tiny Turbos line, but unfortunately not (yet).
Speed Champions is pretty good, but not the same scale.
Ah, Tiny Turbos, such a cute and fun collection! For those that miss it, I'm pretty sure the cars from LEGO Dimensions are in the same scale, so if you've got some old tracks and can find some LD on discount you can relive your childhood!
A small but brilliant community has emerged from Tiny Turbo. I really hope miniatures come to the Speed Champions line. Lots of potential to see some licensed designs rendered in four-wide.
Frist Tiny Turbos set I ever bought. Pretty good one too.
And one thing not shown here is this can be rebuilt into another car and helicopter as well, like the combo models of doing 2 of the TT $4-6 sets.
