This is not always an easy question to answer. The Bionicle Toa sets were all based around the same Toa gearbox, but that part actually debuted the year before with the Technic Stormtrooper. In the US, we wouldn't see the first wave of Bionicle sets for half a year, so it might seem logical to assume it was created for the Stormtrooper and just happened to be developed into all six of the main characters in a new and unrelated theme. However, in Europe, they got the six Toa sets and the mask pack at the start of the year, which meant they were released right around the same time as the Stormtrooper.<br /><br />I did find the armor, now. I had searched for "shoulder" and forgot that Bricklink queries don't allow for pluralized words. This is one of a handful that includes "shoulders" in the description, which won't show up if you just search for "shoulder". I originally learned this after finding out that you could eliminate search results by adding a "-" in front of a word you wanted to weed out. The very first thing I did with this was add "-sticker" to a query, only to find out that I still got results including "stickers".<br /><br />Sandy would be counted as one. Dual-molded elements are counted as one piece. Minifig torso and leg assemblies are counted as one piece. Accessory packs that are formed by a single mold and prepacked together like those in the original Batman theme are counted as one piece. Any part that's assembled from multiple components, whether they're made in a single mold or not, would be counted as a single piece if that's how it's sold.<br /><br />So there's at least one, maybe two new parts that aren't on my list. Any ideas?Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-83734031866149063702020-05-16T20:56:33.139+01:002020-05-16T20:56:33.139+01:00The fender pieces on Pigsy's truck actually de...The fender pieces on Pigsy's truck actually debuted in 2019 with the Rise of Skywalker X-Wing, so probably not designed for this theme. Monkey King's shoulder armor is from the 2018 "Sons of Garmadon" arc of Ninjago, so also not new.<br /><br />I also am not sure whether Sandy's torso is being counted as one or two molds, since like most bigfig torsos, it's preassembled, and unlike some, both the top and bottom "halves" are unique to this fig.Andrew Barnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723179808721244651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-79760294968721437132020-05-16T17:08:46.624+01:002020-05-16T17:08:46.624+01:00Okay, so a lot of parts have been established as _...Okay, so a lot of parts have been established as _not_ being new, but there are still supposed to be twelve new molds, right? Here's what I can identify (without a limited amount of research):<br /><br />1. Monkie Kid's hair<br />2. Monkie Kid's headphones<br />3. Monkie Kid's/Monkey King's staff tips<br />4. Red Son's hair<br />5. Pigsy's head (looks like the chef's hat is separate, which is good)<br />6. Mei's hair (I didn't actually think it was, but Brickset lists it as one)<br />7. Princess Iron Fan's "bullhorn" hair<br />8. Bull helmet <br />9. Sandy's bigfig body<br />10. Giant bull horns<br />11. ?<br />12. ?<br /><br />I had not previously seen the motorcycle fairing, but that's been released in two City sets. The fender pieces on Pigsy's truck are definitely new, but they've been used on a 2020 Disney Wars set, so which theme created them? I also can't match Monkey King's shoulder armor...but I was shocked to see just how many "shoulder armor" molds they've made over the last decade or so (seriously, do they make minifigs that don't have shoulder armor anymore?).<br /><br />So, if the shoulder armor and the fender brick were designed for this theme, I think that covers the full list. Four hairs, two "body wear", a head, a helmet, a bigfig, and three more general-use parts.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-26029616408318733242020-05-16T16:32:18.664+01:002020-05-16T16:32:18.664+01:00Yes.
