Lego kits are a great way to enjoy Scooby-Doo and the rest of the teenage gang that goes around solving scary mysteries.

“Scooby-Doo” was at the height of popularity in the ’70s and ’80s and, in 2013, was named by TV Guide as the fifth-greatest cartoon of all time. Scooby-Doo was the canine member of the teenage detectives of Mystery, Inc. in the comedy-mystery TV show and films.
Although Lego has discontinued its line of “Scooby-Doo” toys, today’s nostalgia seekers and kids who are “Scooby-Doo” fans still have a few Lego “Scooby-Doo” Lego toys and sets to choose from. If you are looking for a challenging and exciting building kit, check out the Lego “Scooby-Doo” Haunted Lighthouse Building Kit.
Lego makes toys and kits with hundreds of themes. Their creator sets are the most detailed and include thousands of pieces. Some people buy activity tables to have a special place for building their Lego designs.
Most Lego “Scooby-Doo” sets come with Scooby and Shaggy and a villain or two, but you will likely need to buy more than one set if you want to collect the whole Mystery Inc. gang.
Most Lego toys, kits and figures are geared to kids from 6 to 12. But not all kids have the same abilities, so your younger and older kids may like Lego, too. A Lego “Scooby-Doo” set can even make a great gift for an adult who grew up watching “Scooby-Doo.”
Many of the Lego sets come with several miniature figures that constitute part of the play. There are still a few individual “Scooby-Doo” Lego figures online, but inventories are low. If you act quickly, you may be able to get one of these Lego “Scooby-Doo” miniatures before they’re gone.
Lego stopped making “Scooby-Doo”-themed toys when they discontinued the line in 2017. There are still some new-in-original-packaging “Scooby-Doo” Legos available on Amazon, but as collectors scoop them up, there will be no new ones to replace them.
Mini figures range in price from $15-$140, such as for the highly collectible Velma. Mystery houses and building kits cost from $90-$400.
A. Toys made of bricks will never be entirely realistic, but they can be true to the “Scooby-Doo” theme of teenagers exploring creepy buildings and solving spooky mysteries. The most realistic Legos are in their Creator sets.
A. Some Creator series Legos have 1,000-5,000 pieces, but all the “Scooby-Doo” Legos have fewer than 1,000 pieces and are made for children 6-12.
