FYI, This item is way over priced for $49.99 new, you can buy it in many toy stores for $19.99. Same as the 5 pack figure set, sells in other stores for $15.99. I know I bought them

I have had a difficult time getting my 4 1/2 year old son to transition from 100% vehicle toys to also playing with action figures. Since he loves Scoob and his buddies, this seemed like a good idea and he does love to play with it. Of course, there's nothing educational about it. As far as durability - my boy is very hard on his toys but he hasn't managed to break this one yet. The front doors pop off right away, but they snap right back on. I don't get why they didn't fix them more securely to the toy. I have to say that the action figures in particular give off a very strong odor of plastic which makes me wonder how safe it really is, especially since it is made in China. Also, for some reason, the mystery machine comes sans flowers - which just seems weird. One more oddity, I thought I was pretty well-versed in the Scoobiverse having grown up with the many incarnations of the show and also watching it with my son - the Mystery Machine here comes with some kind of gun mounted inside of it that cannot be removed and takes up a lot of the interior. I don't recall any such object in the cartoon show.

My daughter has absolutely loved this set of toys. I have found the toys to be good quality and very durable. There are no tiny parts. The figures survive easily in the dirt or in the tub. Overall a very good product.

Toys R US has the Mystery Machine for 24.99 and the 5 pack action figures for 16.99!! 12/10/2009

This is a great toy for $19 (Toys R Us)...but not for the amount y'all are charging here!

my older son (4) loves this toy. he's a big scooby fan. my younger son loves the scooby figurine and pretty much nothing else... but what do you expect from a two year old? :) it's holding up well considering what rough boys they are

My 4 year old boy is a big Scooby Doo fan. He got the action figures for his birthday and now he got the Mystery Machine for Christmas. He loves it. The Mystery Machine is very sturdy and it is spacious enough for all the gang to fit in it just like in the show (Fred, Velma and Daphne up front and Shaggy and Scooby in the back). All the doors open and the whole top of the back part opens up for easy access. Overall it seems to be a very durable toy. The one negative comment I have, and the reason I don't give it 5 stars, is that it comes with some sort of a weapon installed in the back. You can see Shaggy holding it in the illustration. Not only does it take space, it is totally unnecessary and out of character. If you have ever watched the show you know the kids do not use weapons; in fact, I don't think the villains use weapons. Other than that, this is a really good toy.

My girls (2 + 4 yrs) LOOOOVE Scooby & the gang, so this was a great find for us! One thing to look out for is that the doors come off very easily & although it's easy to pop them back in, when things go wrong with a toy it takes away from the play, you know? Aside from that, my only complaint is that rocket launcher thing they put in the back of the van...I mean seriosly! It just takes up room & doesn't have anything to do with any Scooby adventure I've ever seen. On the positive side, it's very sturdy & fits all the characters. My daughters are happy with it & that's what counts!
Anyways, a fine toy for a Scooby addict (just get some crazy glue).

Wow. I thought I had seen it all. The extent that sellers will go to to make a profit at the expense of a child...I was going to purchase another van and saw that it had gone from $25.00--well exceeding the original cost--to $40.00...overnight. Not worth the cost and I will make sure I buy it from Toys R Us.

You guys should be ashamed of yourself for charging this price, when toyrus selss it for $19.00.....
