10. Scooby-Doo The Mystery Machine – 301 pieces
Zoinks! Those meddling kids – the ones in your home and those who come in this Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine LEGO set – are at it again, ready to solve whatever seemingly supernatural mysteries and hijinks come their (or rather your) way. At 301 pieces, the Mystery Machine is small and won’t take long to put together. It also only comes with three minifigures from the show’s original gang: Fred, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo (that might be a good thing, since the inside of the van is only big enough for two minifigures to sit in the front seat). But there is still a lot of fun to be had with this set. For starters, it comes with two bad guys to make things interesting: Zombie/Zeke and a robotic tree.
You can’t fight crime or monsters without accessories, though. Good thing this set comes with all the accessories you will ever need, including a sandwich for Scooby and Shaggy to fight over; a spy glass; a camera; a torch; 2 computer screens; and more! In addition, the van itself is equipped with a removable roof and foldout sides so you can access and store all the gang’s gear with ease.
Currently, The Mystery Machine is listed as a “retired” product on the official LEGO store. To add it to your LEGO collection, search for it on Amazon or eBay.
