One of the most interesting new LEGO themes is the LEGO Scooby-Doo line. Whether you are a fan of the Scooby-Doo TV show, or you are just looking for unique new LEGO sets and minifigures, you will not be disappointed. Today we will look at all five of the new LEGO Scooby-Doo sets in detail to see if they are worth getting. 🙂
➡ #75900 LEGO SCOOBY-DOO MUMMY MUSEUM MYSTERY: This is the smallest of the LEGO Scooby-Doo sets and the cheapest way to get both Scooby and Shaggy. The decorated elements are stickered, and there are a couple of fun play-features. You can watch the video-review below by the BrickShow for more details, and here is the official description for your convenience: Investigate the Mummy Museum Mystery with Scooby and Shaggy! Enter the spooky museum with Shaggy and Scooby-Doo and solve the mystery of the missing gems! Jeepers, it’s a creepy place—our heroes are spooked… and hungry, as usual. But hang on! Are they seeing things or is that a hamburger hanging from the ceiling? Reach for the burger to accidentally open the golden sarcophagus or take off the mummy’s headdress to reveal the mastermind behind the robbery. Then open the secret door in the stairs to reveal the hidden treasure! Includes 2 minifigures: Shaggy and Mummy/Dr. Najib with an accessory element, plus Scooby-Doo (standing version). 110 pieces. Price: $14.99 – BUY HERE
➡ #75901 LEGO SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERY PLANE ADVENTURES: This is the second smallest set in the LEGO Scooby-Doo line and the cheapest way to get the sitting version of Scooby. However the main attraction here is definitely the Headless Horseman with that awesome pumpkin head. The video-review is below with more details, and here is the official description: Drop hamburgers on the Headless Horseman and reveal his true identity! Chase the Headless Horseman with Shaggy and Scooby-Doo and reclaim the stolen golden cup! Search for clues and take off in the plane… but does Shaggy even know how to fly a plane? Too late to worry about that now! Leave Scooby sitting in the cockpit and swing down on the chain with Shaggy to try and grab the precious cup. Fire the hamburger flick missiles to knock the Headless Horseman off his horse. Then rip off the pumpkin-head disguise to reveal the villain’s true identity! Includes 2 minifigures with a weapon and assorted accessory elements: Shaggy, Headless Horseman/Elwood Crane, plus Scooby-Doo (sitting version). 128 pieces. Price: $19.99 – BUY HERE
➡ #75902 LEGO SCOOBY-DOO THE MYSTERY MACHINE: In the video review below you will see that Stephen from the BrickShow predicts that this is going to be the most popular set in the series due to the great design, minifig selection, reasonable price and the iconic nature of the vehicle, and I agree with him. Here is the official description: Solve the Zombie mystery with The Mystery Machine! Escape from the spooky forest with Scooby-Doo, Fred and Shaggy! Avoid getting trapped in the branches of the spooky tree and jump into The Mystery Machine to get away. Read the clue and open up the back of the vehicle to use the computer screens, spy glass and other mystery-solving equipment. Work out the real identity of the Zombie who is secretly operating the tree… then celebrate with a giant sandwich! Includes 3 minifigures: Fred, Shaggy and Zombie/Zeke, plus Scooby-Doo (standing version). 301 pieces. Price: $29.99 – BUY HERE
➡ #75903 LEGO SCOOBY-DOO HAUNTED LIGHTHOUSE: This is actually my favorite set in the series because of the nicely done lighthouse. The set also has some great play-features and an excellent selection of minifigures. Make sure you check out the video-review below for more details, and here is the official description: Seek out the hidden gems at the Haunted Lighthouse! Investigate the creepy Haunted Lighthouse with Scooby-Doo and the gang! Steer the boat with Daphne and Scooby, while Shaggy rides the water skis. Dock at the foot of the rocks, by the light pole. Move the planks with the crowbar and reveal the map with the clue to find the golden key. But beware! The Lighthouse Keeper and Swamp Monster have been hiding in the skull cave and are ready to ambush meddling kids. Battle past them, avoiding capture in the prison. When you reach the top of the lighthouse, open the secret compartment holding the golden key. Then seek out the hidden treasure chest under the lighthouse and reveal the villains’ true identities! Includes 4 minifigures with a weapon and an accessory element: Shaggy, Daphne, Lighthouse Keeper/Verona Dempsey and Swamp Monster/Mr. Brown, plus Scooby-Doo (sitting version). 437 pieces. Price: $49.99 – BUY HERE
➡ #75904 LEGO SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERY MANSION: This is the largest of the LEGO Scooby-Doo sets. The design, details, accessories and color-scheme perfectly captures the spookiness of a haunted mansion. The set is also full of fun play-features. You can watch the video-review below to see all the details of the mansion, along with a close-up of all the minifigs. And here is the official description for your convenience: Dare to enter the Mystery Mansion and find the treasure before midnight! Speed to the Mystery Mansion on the motorbike with Shaggy and Velma to help Daphne and Scooby-Doo find the stolen treasure! Creep quietly into the spooky building and watch out for the Ghost and Black Knight lurking in the corridors. Evade the man-eating plant in the conservatory and dodge the morning star pendulum trap. Quickly make a giant hamburger in the kitchen then look for clues. Locate the secret compartment containing the golden key, then open the safe containing the stolen gold bars. But hurry—you must find the hidden loot before the clock strikes midnight and the Vampire emerges from behind the spinning wall! Includes 6 minifigures with assorted weapon and accessory elements: Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, Vampire/Bob Oakley, Ghost/Bluestone the Great, Black Knight/Mr. Wickles, plus Scooby-Doo (standing version). 860 pieces. Price: $89.99 – BUY HERE
The LEGO Scooby-Doo sets are solidly designed and fun, and the minifigures are great, so Scooby-Doo fans should be happy. The price of the sets is also reasonable, especially for a licensed theme. Besides Scooby-Doo fans, the line can also appeal to collectors or those who are looking for interesting new LEGO elements. The mansion and the lighthouse can even be incorporated into other scenes, so they have a cross-theme appeal as well. The only thing I don’t like about these sets is the tremendous number of stickers. The Mystery Machine in particular is completely covered in stickers, which greatly reduces the playability and longevity of the model. What’s the point of making a durable toy, when the whole thing is covered in fragile paper stickers that get dirty and peel off easily? If you plan to buy this set – or any of the other ones where the stickers are very prominent – I would suggest you also get extra sticker-sheets either directly from LEGO or on BrickLink. This way you can replace them when you need to. You can find all the new sets under the LEGO Scooby-Doo section of the Online LEGO Shop.

I’m not a fan of this but I think I will pick up a few just for the pieces. Also, who doesn’t want the mystery machine?! Got to pick up!
I tried ordering the Mystery Machine set first thing on Aug. 1 via Lego’s online store, but they were all already sold out but still accepting orders. I decided to order it and wait ~30 days for it to arrive along with the The Big Bang Theory set (which has already shipped). I also get the nice pirate poly bag.
Later that morning I went to Brick Fair in VA and saw some of the vans out on display. Some of the kiosks there were selling all the Scooby Doo sets (and the The Big Bang Theory set) but at a crazy markup, around 70% more over MSRP.
After the Brick Fair we went to the local Lego Store. They had TBBT sets and some of the Scooby sets, but none of the Mystery Machine.
All in all, I’m glad I went ahead with my order online instead of waiting for the Fair and going to the store.
The Classic Pirate set is not a polly but in a VERY nice box, like the classic space man one a wile ago.
Even better. I was just guessing it was a poly being how many of my previous orders received a poly bog.
