The play here is patience. Set a price alert, grab it when it dips below $39.99, and revisit once it nears retirement. BrickHeadz collectors tend to pay up.

Theme Background

As a 2017 addition to BrickHeadz, part of the DC Comics Super Heroes subcollection, the Supergirl & Martian Manhunter slots into the more affordable side of BrickHeadz. Brickheadz is part of LEGO's broader product lineup, and at $39.99 this set is priced accordingly. At $0.171 per piece, you're paying a premium — though that's typical for BrickHeadz sets in this range.

Collectors following BrickHeadz specifically should note the DC Comics Super Heroes subtheme — it's a category that tends to draw attention and hold value, especially as sets in this tier age out of production.
