"Brainiac Attack is a minifigure collector's purchase first and a set second; with Supergirl and Martian Manhunter's retail debuts headlining the lineup, Jay's Brick Blog called it one of the budget winners of 2015 while JANG's harsher 55-score reflects the skull ship's shallow play value and awkward side-on construction, landing the BrickScore at 67.9."
Brainiac Attack earns a Mixed Reviews verdict driven entirely by its exceptional minifigure lineup, not its vehicle build. Jay's Brick Blog calls it one of the budget winners of 2015's DC lineup, praising Supergirl and Brainiac's retail debuts alongside a rare Martian Manhunter appearance; JANG is more measured, scoring the skull ship's design as front-facing only and noting low play value. Owner ratings at 4.41 out of 5 across 16 buyers sit reasonably well, with value for money at 4.14, aligning with the general sense that this is a minifigure-driven purchase.
Where they split: The two expert reviewers diverge on overall sentiment: Jay's Brick Blog scores it 80 with a buy recommendation and genuine enthusiasm for the full package, while JANG scores it 55, pointing to the ship's poor side-profile integration and near-absent play value. Owner ratings at 4.41 sit between these two positions.

"Brainiac Attack is probably tied with Green Lantern vs Sinestro as the budget winners of 2015's spectacular lineup of DC Super Heroes Justice League sets."
Jay's Brick Blog"I think they did a nice job of setting up that skull face look on the front you know it's it's all brick built up and it has some really good expressiveness to it I think this is a nice design"

Owners love this set primarily for its exclusive minifigures, especially Supergirl and Martian Manhunter, plus the detailed Brainiac ship and strong value at the price point, though some note the build feels flimsy and Superman's cape positioning is awkward.
