Welcome to my first post of reviewing a Lego Set :)
To start, here's the look of the box itself, it's quite big but not as big as the Lego Modular set, and it's not that heavy.
There are 9 bags inside, 1 sticker sheet and 3 instruction books
We go straight to the first bag!
ps: sorry for the blur Scooby Doo
The first bag will have the Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Black Night, Man-eating plant and the cute scooter.
For me one of the highlights of the set is the Scooter. The colours of the scooter is not common and it's good to take picture and play with. You can have the Shaggy and his friend to ride the scooter as there is a passenger seat connected to it. Shaggy's fringe is a bit too big
Bags number 2 to 9 pretty much are for building the mansion itself.
This photo below are from the second bag. We have Daphne and the building for the left side of the mansion. Not that much on the inside of this part of the mansion, only some pumpkins with carved face.
I love Daphne's hair, the colour is so vivid and strong.
The third bag will have the roof for the left part of the mansion. Some of the windows don't have the glasses and create the impression that the window's glasses are cracked
Fourth bag brings us to the front building of the mansion and Velma together with the real magnifying glass and map
We now move to the upper part of the building in bag 5. There's something like a pendulum trap when you open the front door of the mansion. Above it there is a screen that looks like a TV screen. Golden key also hidden under the floorboard on the ground floor
We will then create the top part of the mansion from the 6th bag.
This is quite detailed, we have the coffin for the Dracula and the clock (the stickers are used for the clock). If we twist the brown knob, the hand on the clock will rotate and gives impression that the Dracula is transforming into a bat
7th,8th and 9th bag will create the right part of the mansion. This part is quite fun to build, especially the kitchen. In the kitchen we have the rat, and the burger. On the second floor we can see there's a Safe where they keep the gold bars.
We just need to combine all of them together and voila, we now have the Scooby Doo Mystery Mansion ready to be explored by the team!
Overall, I was satisfied with the design and playability of the set. But you need to have quite a big space to store this as the mansion is quite tall. Also Fred is not included in this set, he's only available in the Mystery Machine set (which now I realized how hard it is to get hold off this mystery machine set). The price is also decent $119.99 in Lego.com Australia
