    Woah! I mean, uh, zoinks? This is super unexpected news to me! That Mystery Machine looks so awesome… as do the minifigs*! Very cool.

    *Well, Scooby himself exists in the uncanny valley between “cartoon” and “LEGO”, fitting into neither world (Oh yeah, like the Simpsons minifigs). But what’re ya gonna do? Seems good enough.
