LEGO Scooby-Doo The Mystery Machine

Product Information

We ended up spending two days at the park with an overnight at the LEGOLAND Hotel (which had only opened the weekend before our stay). Final thoughts: The Mystery Machine is the perfect introduction to the Scooby Doo theme and one of those rare flawless LEGO sets. Heads up for those in the US, UK and EU - today is your final day to score 2x Insider Points on all purchases! Last month, my wife and I took my three-year-old son to the newly-opened LEGOLAND New York Theme Park and Resort in Goshen, New York.

I grew up watching plenty of Scooby Doo – they were a Saturday morning staple for me and I have very fond memories of the gang.

The printing and other details around his body are quite impressive – everything is sharp and crispy and I really like Scooby’s terrified grimace/smile.

To kick off my series of LEGO Scooby Doo reviews, I’ve selected one of the standout sets of the theme – 75902 The Mystery Machine as the first set to review! When LEGO announced that they would be releasing a bunch of Scooby-Doo related sets, I immediately dismissed the idea as something that wouldn't interest me. Overall, I feel The Mystery Machine (75902)is one of the more sought-after sets in this wave of LEGO Scooby-Doo sets simply because it’s very recognizable and an icon in television history.The lobby is home to a giant wall of minifigures but even more impressive than that is a large LEGO-esque castle in the back of the lobby which doubles as a play area for children. The Mystery Machine’s roof can be lifted out quite effortlessly, allowing you to have a peek inside or place the minifigures around the spacious van. The set features a complete replica of The Mystery Machine and comes with Shaggy, Scooby Doo, Fred, and monster minifigures, perfect for reenacting iconic moments of the show. It does suffer slightly from certain design necessities, however it looks great and is an iconic vehicle that . LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Minifigure, and the Brick and Knob configurations are trademarks of the LEGO Group of Companies.

Fred and Shaggy’s faces are generic looking enough that they could easily be reused in other minifigures. Sure, I was a kid of the late 80s / early 90s and I watched plenty of Scooby-Doo reruns on TV but I didn't think I'd have much interest in the actual LEGO sets twenty-five years later. Scooby Doo is the star of the set and series, so we’re treated to a delightful new mould for the cowardly pooch. There’s a stickered control panel with the gang’s Mystery Machine in its sights as well as a couple of levers to control the Spooky Tree.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Fred has a shocked face whereas Shaggy has a slightly quizzical “I don’t think this is a good idea” expression going on, which fit the theme of the set. The build itself is simple and also enjoyable except a few stickers that were a pain to apply, may be it was just me.
