It's a mystery.

I enjoyed myself a little while ago posting teaser photos of a review product on my Facebook stream.

So here you go, can you tell what it is?

Did you guess?

It’s the Character Building Scooby Doo Mystery Machine Playset

, complete with Scooby Doo and Fred, though I do feel that it should have had a Shaggy. That’s about the only criticism I have of this set though. My test participant assembled it in a couple of hours, making a couple of minor mistakes along the way. Much fun was had throughout 🙂

I like building sets. I like the enjoyment had building them in the first place, and then playing with them. This set goes together well, although the odd hose thing does have a tendency to catch on the roof. It works better if the instructions are followed commpletely too, missing out a big brick across the front so that the roof won’t close may lead to a certain amount of frustration 😉 About the only thing that I do find irritating about these is the partial characters included. If you then go on to buy the full set you end up with duplicates, so either put them all in or don’t, basically. I’m pleased to see Scooby being introduced to a whole new generation though, and he’s as popular here as he’s ever been.
