Lego Scooby-Doo (stylized asLEGO Scooby-Doo!) is a discontinuedLego theme based on theScooby-Doo franchise created byJoe Ruby andKen Spears. It is licensed fromWarner Bros.

The Lego Scooby-Doo theme was discontinued by the end of 2017.
Lego Scooby-Doo was based on theScooby-Doo franchise. The product line focuses onScooby-Doo and the four teenage members of Mystery, Inc. —Fred Jones,Shaggy Rogers,Daphne Blake andVelma Dinkley — arriving at a location in the Mystery Machine, a van painted withpsychedelic colors andflower power imagery. Encountering a ghost, monster, or other ostensibly supernatural creature terrorizing the local populace, they decide to investigate. The kids split up to look for clues and suspects while being chased at turns by the monster. Eventually, the kids come to realize the ghost and other paranormal activity is actually an elaborate hoax, and—often with the help of aRube Goldberg-like trap designed by Fred—they capture the villain and unmask him. Revealed as a flesh and blood crook trying to cover up crimes by using the ghost story and costume, the criminal is arrested and taken to jail, often with the catchphrase "if it weren't for those pesky kids".Lego Scooby-Doo aimed to recreate the main characters in Lego form, including Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma.[3][4][5]
