Lego DC Universe Super Heroes Sets

Many Lego fans anxiously awaited the release of the new Lego DC Universe Super Heroes sets. There were rumors that the Lego Group had signed a contract with DC Comics to release a new Lego DC Universe theme and finally the rumors had become a reality.

Although Lego previously released some DC Comic Characters, they had never created an entire DC Super Hero Lego series and they had never produced Superman, Superwoman, Captain Marvel, Green Arrow or Green Lantern Lego sets. These were all favorite DC Comics characters that were not but finally were available in Lego form.

On this page, discover some of these fantastic DC Universe Super Heroes Lego sets. If you are a Lego and a super hero fan, you will not be disappointed.

Lego and Marvel started 2012 with a contest at the San Diego Comic Con at which you could win a limited edition minifigure. The minifigures were given away as prizes to 1,000 people. Included in the giveaway were Black Spider-Man, Phoenix, Shazam! and Bizzarro.

The first Comic-Con exclusive minifigure in this series was Phoenix. She is a super hero from Marvel Comics who is called Marvel Girl, Phoenix, and Dark Phoenix. Her power are both telepathy and telekinetic.

The second one was Bizarro. He is from the DC Universe and is the mirror-image of Superman even possessing the opposite powers.

The third one one was Black-Suit Spider-Man. He is from the Marvel Comics series called Spider-Man: Back in Black.

The final minifigure was Shazam who is also known as Captain Marvel. He is from the DC Universe and has supernatural powers when he says “Shazam.”

The 1,000 minifigures given away in 2012 were given as 250 of each of these characters. That limited number makes them truly limited edition and therefore sought after by collectors. As is often the case with retired products, eBay is a good source though you should expect to pay more for them than you might expect. When I edited this page in 2024, I found sold pieces priced from $400 to $1,000.
