Hero Factory by the Numbers

A few weeks ago, I took a look at some statistics regarding to bionicle sets over the years. See that here (Bionicle by the Numbers). Now, my need to break everything down to numbers has made me want to give the same treatment to Hero Factory.

I know Hero Factory is not the most popular thing in the world. While I own every Bionicle set, I only ever bought 5 Hero Factory sets. But, I’m obsessed with statistics, so here’s a look at Hero Factory by the Numbers.

All prices in US Dollar.

2010

  • Sets: 15
  • Price: 245
  • Parts: 1239

2011

  • Sets: 22
  • Price: 274
  • Parts: 1430

2012

  • Sets: 18
  • Price: 243
  • Parts: 1120

2013

  • Sets: 15
  • Price: 213
  • Parts: 1188

2014

  • Sets: 15
  • Price: 250
  • Parts: 1321

Totals

  • Sets: 85
  • Price: 1225
  • Parts: 6298
  • Price/Part: 0.19
  • Price/Set: 14.41
  • Parts/Set: 74.09

Most Sets: 2011
Most Expensive: 2011
Most Parts: 2011

I tried to be as accurate as possible with this list taking information from multiple sources, mainly Bricklink, Brickset, and the Lego Wiki.

If all the sets were released this year, these would be the prices adjusted for inflation:

2010: 266
2011: 289
2012: 251
2013: 217
2014: 250 (Not much change)

New Total: 1273

Interesting chart. I’m going to compare these figures to your G1 table later to see the difference.

Wow 2011

U is important

Those medium sized villains (Waspix, Jetbug, etc.) were way too expensive IMO. Good thing they’re now the decent price of our medium sized Toa

This is why 2011 was the best year.
