Yesterday I said there were two great sets from Lego DC Heroes, but I only got around to talking about the one, Green Lantern set. The other really cool looking and affordable DC set is called Brainiac Attack.
This set is cool because of the mini-figs. Superwoman (girl? still? really?), Martian Manhunter, Supes, and of course Brainiac. Four figs is pretty nice, and the inclusion of B-Lister (sorry J'onn J'onzz) is fantastic. Usually you have to buy the big money sets to get those guys, like the Darkseid Invasion. That set features Green Arrow, Hawkman, & Cyborg, which would make for some pretty cool adventures, but the set cost $70.00 so out of reach for most. Brainiac on the other hand is $25.00.
Oh and that Brainiac ship is pretty fierce looking. The other Superman adventure set from a couple of years ago, Superman vs Power Armor Luthor, was also cool for the exact same reasons as this Brainiac kit. The Luthor one featured Wonder Woman, and a bad ass Power Armor robot.
As of right now the DC sets look fantastic, while Marvel really hasn't put anything of note out. Their Gaurdians sets have mostly disappeared from the shelves by now. They have a really cool X-men set, but it costs $50.00. The Age of Ultron/Avengers 2 stuff is leaked on the web, but nothing in there looks like it will be less than $30.00 except the little Iron Man vs Ultron bots.
DC is really winning the fight in the Lego wars, even if Marvel is blowing them away in movies.
