Bottom Line

Pros

Cons

Best of the Best

LEGO

DC Super Heroes Lex Luthor Mech Takedown

Check Price

Bottom Line

An outstanding refresh of the Lex Luthor LEGO set, kids will enjoy this challenging build and top-notch play possibilities.

Pros

Lex Luthor’s mech is one of the most popular LEGO builds in the DC Heroes line, if not the entire LEGO line: It’s a fun challenge for kids to build, especially with articulated limbs that hold their pose without collapsing. New mini figures round out the set – including Batman with jetpack, Firestorm, Wonder Woman, and more.

Cons

Younger kids will need help from parents to build this kit. Tiny stud shooter projectiles are just begging to be lost.

Best Bang for the Buck

LEGO

DC Super Heroes Superman & Krypto Team-Up

Check Price

Bottom Line

A fast, easy build along with unique mini figures and a cool “exploding” prison makes this perfect for young and old fans alike. Its sub-$20 price point doesn’t hurt, either.

Pros

The mini figures are a top draw for this LEGO set, with Lobo, Superman, and adult Krypto included. Kryptonite prison has unique “explode” feature to break out Superman. Easy and fast to build.

Cons

Small, limited build with just 1 clear play setup, although the set is compatible with other DC Heroes sets.

LEGO

DC Super Heroes Flying Fox: Batmobile Airlift Attack

Check Price

Bottom Line

A solid intermediate-level LEGO build with an array of Justice League mini figures that will keep builders busy coming up with new scenarios.

Pros

Compatible with other LEGO construction sets. A fun build for kids to teens, with just under 1,000 pieces, 6 mini figures from the Justice League movie, along with a large Steppenwolf figure. Batmobile fits the Flying Fox cargo bay perfectly.

Cons

Flying Fox only fits 2 of the mini figures. Steppenwolf figure could use more detail.

LEGO

DC Super Heroes Speed Force Freeze Pursuit

Check Price

Bottom Line

This highly collectible set includes 4 unique mini figures and plenty of accessories, and it’s easy to build.

Pros

Collectors love the Reverse Flash and Killer Frost mini figures included in this set. CyborgCopter’s guns can be carried by Cyborg figure. A good transitional build for kids moving up from LEGO Juniors, with 271 pieces.

Cons

Helicopter’s net doesn’t latch well or shoot well.

LEGO

DC Super Heroes Batman: Brother Eye Takedown

Check Price

Bottom Line

Bursting with detail from the villain’s satellite down to the mini figure outfits, this set is great for kids to play with, or just to put on display.

Pros

With Batman, Batwoman, and the Batjet, along with villain OMAC and his satellite (featuring a light-up “eye” brick), what’s not to like? Batjet is highly detailed for its size. Batteries are included for satellite eye. Great to display and fun to play with. Perhaps best of all, no stickers to deal with.

Cons

Batman’s cape tends to bunch up at the neck. Kids younger than 7 may need help building.

Though it often seems to rely heavily on the Batman character, the LEGO DC Super Heroes line sports several build sets across a generous price range, which makes it one of the most accessible, and collectible, LEGO lines on the market. Sets feature unique mini figures and at least two vehicle builds, all of which are compatible with other LEGO construction sets – so Batman can tackle pirates and spacemen, too, if that’s what a player wants to do. While some of the sets are plagued with stickers that stand in for tinier details, at least one is completely sticker-free and heavy on details – without climbing out of a reasonable price range. Younger kids transitioning from the Junior series to “regular” construction sets will likely be fascinated by the imaginative vehicles and familiar superheroes that are hallmarks of these sets.
