2008 Racers

[Hinckley]

For the few Racers fans we have out there, here are some new preliminary pics of the 2008 line:

EDIT: and here's another one!

[General Zen]

I don't like them. I know these are the preliminaries, but they just seem lke they are a step down from what we have recieved in the past (just the cars), but that is just my opinion.

[Ricecracker]

hmmm.... well these are definately preliminary pics. the truck in the first pic just looks like a bunch of bricks that a 3yr old made*........... i like the overall ideas for these although they need improvement. although this is just my thoughts!! you are allowed to think whatever you want (i think 8-| )

* no offense to 3yr old builders

[AgentRick]

Even if the 2nd one is preliminary, I'm lovin' It! The classic curved windows! the 8 cars! the bits and pieces used for other MOCs! simply wonderful! I'm going to skip the 1st one, because it looks BLEH :-X

[iamded]

The petrol station in the 2nd pic is very similar to the one we already have. But the rest of the set is cool. Great find, Hinckley!

im a racers fan and i really don't like these sets as of now. no love lost for 2008 ferrari though :-D

[Lost Viking]

It seems that the first Tiny Turbo pic is definitely preliminary as there are no decals on the cars. Also, I think that they look alright. Once they get a paint job as well as once we get better pics they will look much better. I absolutely love the second set though!

I am really excited as these sets bring the total Tiny Turbo collection past the 50 mark. *sweet*

[yovnocrats]

anyone else noticing that new 1 X 4 cheese tile? 8-|

[wulf]

I like the limo hummer,Those are some awesome sets!!!

[yellost]

Anyone knows what that weird white foam thingy in the truck of the first pic is??? I've never seen a piece like that before... And I don't quite get what it's suposed to be either *wacko*

[Brickmaster]

Im loving all the curved window peices, but thats about it - atleast I can save some money and skip on this line >:-)

And at yellost, the foam looking peice is actually a 1/4 circle pipe, usually found in chrome - the picture just skews it.

I love that second Tiny Turbos set - the gas station is similar to the one we got in '07, which means it's in minifig scale; that's the fourth gas-station in two years!

I'm holding back my opinion on the first one - It's too preliminary for me to judge anything from its looks, altough I agree with Wulf that the Hummer-limo looks awesome.

[LegoFranks]

Loving the trans-blue curved windows on the gas station in pic two... Will come in useful for the cafe I'm designing in my modular Shelf City...

With closer inspection, I noticed the car on the trailer of set 8495 does not have a windshield, so this is most likely preliminary. Also, they changed the color scheme of fuel 4 speed, my favorite fake Racers company :'-(

Let's hope they change that ;-)

The second set seems cool. Like a car dealer! The only thing that prevents me from getting most racer sets are all the stupid stickers! |-/ You spend more time putting on stickers than actually building the set!

*n* *knight* *knight* *knight* *knight* those r they worst looking race cars i have ever seen the people at lego really need to watch a nascar race then make the cars instead of smoking pot when they go to design something. *vader* *vader* *yoda* *yoda* *yoda* *yoda* *wacko* *y*

But Nascar is insanely boring. :-D

It'd just be a few identical body design with TONS of advertising stickers all over them.

I also hate punctuation it just complicates things i mean who needs it right did they teach you how to write this way at harvard i like to capitalize the word i *yoda* *yoda* *yoda* *knight* *alien*

Let's all please do our best to not post like our friend, gianthooters 69. And let's all hope we never have to go to appeals court in the district where he's magistrate... 8-|

[smiley905]

Ooops! Must have just been some odd internet glitch. *wacko*

I've seen this shady duck around with a twitchy eyebrow. It is probably him.

[Algernon]

Loving the third one down, don't care much for the other two.

[azathoth]

I'm looking forward to the second one with the Semi-truck and hot rod! The first isn't really turning my crank but I'll probably get it anyway.
