Hapori Tohu Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It seems like USA Today received the first look at one of the upcoming Scooby Doo sets. The Mystery Machine will contain 301 pieces, retail for $29.99, and includes Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, and a Zombie. The van itself looks great and definitely captures the classic look of the original vehicle from Scooby Doo, Where Are You? I'll definitely be picking this one up and maybe some of the other sets as well. How about you?

Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I didn't know Velma and Daphne were replaced by a zombie on the Scooby Doo team. Joking aside, the Mystery Machine looks great in this set, as do the minifigs. And though we probably will get them in one of the other Scooby Doo sets, I wish Velma and Daphne were included here, so that you put the whole gang in the van without having to get another set. But this is still a neat set regardless. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanohi of jello Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Haha yessss! this is pretty much how I always imagined scooby-doo sets would look like. I love the build of the mystery machine, but I have to wonder, what kind of secrets does it hold? What sorta functions? and will the set be worth it?as of now it looks like a yes Quote move along. nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Stranger Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This gets an automatic 8/10 just for not looking like the upcoming show.Thankfully, it looks like it can succeed by its own merits, too. Consider me officially interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Where are Daphne and Velma?!?The Zombie ate them. In all seriousness though, I too wonder why they weren't included in this set. Maybe it would've made the price higher? I'm not sure myself.

dviddy Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 LEGO never puts all the minifig characters from a license in one set. Gotta make minifig collectors buy at least two sets, one of which will be pricier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xccj Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Tis very sticker heavy. The minifigures are not bad, especially considering some of the new cartoon artwork I've seen. So not a terrible set, yet all the same not a theme I'll be collecting, just cause I'm not a huge fan of the theme. But sounds like a lot of others will be interested.

The only set with Velma is in (that also includes Daphne) will go for about $90, so it's gonna be a bit of a problem to complete the team, as far as money is concerned. :/ But the set in question also definitely looks really great. Still, that pricetag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyichir Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think I'll definitely be buying at least this set. It's a gorgeous rendition of a very distinctive vehicle. Great colors, great parts, and the figs also look fantastic, retaining the iconic simplicity of the cartoons. I guess my only disappointment is that the zombie has a regular headpiece instead of some sort of mask that can be ripped off to reveal a corrupt businessperson or disgruntled factory worker. 2 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
