"I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids."

One of the most anticipated LEGO themes for us this year was Scooby Doo. Opeie loves the show and for me it takes me right back to Saturday morning cartoons, glued to the TV, searching through my cereal box for toys. When we first saw pictures for the up and coming kits I was desperate to get hold of the Mystery Machine (which we wrote about a while back) but as I looked more at the other kits it was clear we needed the complete range for our collection. 

I love the colours of the kits, especially the haunted house with all the purple bricks. We don't collect all minifigures but I do have a great collection of monster figures from the monster fighters theme and various other kits so I was eager to get hold of the great bad guys throughout the scooby doo range. What makes these figures so interesting though is that under their masks they have their costumes faces one side and their unhappy caught human faces the other, perfect for role play. They would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!

The Mystery plane adventures kit (75901) is an awesome little kit which is great for the money and that bad guy along with the others is going to come in very handy with some of our builds later in the year.

 For me the best value kit is the Haunted Lighthouse (75903) with hidden trap doors, a mystery machine boat and 2 awesome bad guys to add to my ever growing baddie collection it is great for a mid priced kit. We are still missing kit 75900 Mummy Museum Mystery but we'll be snapping that one up very soon.

Well we finally have the team so there is going to be no end to our Scooby Doo LEGO adventures. For the minifigures alone these kits are worth the purchase, with loads of new hairstyles and outfits we'll be doing all sorts with these.

"This place makes me so nervous, all I can think of is food!"

As if LEGO isn't entertaining enough, they are constantly releasing kits and themes that take me right back to being a child myself, Back to the future (my second favourite film growing up), Ghostbusters and now a whole range based on that anxious dog and his gang of mystery solving friends that took up many hours of my viewing time. The LEGO Scooby doo range is awesome and the four remaining kits are definitely on my wish list after receiving the Mystery machine.

The theme was a little lost on the boys to start with as they had never really watched the show but they loved building the kit and are eager to get their hands on the bad guys that are spread throughout the kits. Whats nice about this range is the price as three of the kits are at the lower end price wise (always good when you have LEGO enthusiastic youngsters that NEED them all).

As always we love how all LEGO themes work hand in hand and writing this post gave us the chance to rebuild the monster fighters castle and break out an army of baddies, Usually with most of the LEGO kits we get, they inevitably get broken up and move on to become custom creations but i have a feeling that this cult van will be staying just the way it is.

Fingers crossed, He-man will be next on my trip down LEGO memory lane.
