Insights

Collectors

Brick Fanatics

“Entries in the Encyclopedia include information on a number of major (and lesser-known) DC characters, with their vital stats, the first LEGO set they appeared in, Did You Know? facts, minifigure secrets and much more. The LEGO DC Character Encyclopedia New Edition is listed... More as a 200-page hardcover which, strangely enough, is actually 8 pages less than the original version.”

Full review at www.brickfanatics.com

BrickEconomy Expert Review

“The updated LEGO DC Comics Character Encyclopedia improves on the original with better organization by character group, less reliance on set-based pages, and an exclusive Val Zod Superman minifigure. While some figure variants are still hard to distinguish and the text is often reused, the book is notably up to date and the new minifig packaging is more environmentally friendly. For collectors and DC fans, the Val Zod figure alone may justify the purchase.”

Many come with a minifigure, often one not sold anywhere else, and for some collectors the figure is the reason to buy the book. The Visual Dictionaries and Character Encyclopedias are the best known of these, and the popular ones are updated every few years with a new edition and a new figure.
