  We've been having fun putting together the [71040 Disney Castle](https://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-Disney-Castle-71040). But we keep wondering: which parts are in this set that haven't been in any other set with these particular colors?

For instance, they don't talk about the [19121 Fence](http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=19121&idColor=1#T=C&C=1) which is new to this set in white:

  I also have found [bricklink's part list for it](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=71040-1) but I don't see how to filter that down to unique parts. Is there an easy way to cull this from bricklink or another LEGO set database?

  I can see two ways of getting this information, depending on your technical skills and programming knowledge:
  
  1. Go item by item in your BL parts list and check in how many sets the item is by clicking on the link for the item. If you want to know not only the uniqueness of an item but also the uniqueness of the item in a specific color, the color drop-down above the image is a great source of info. This will be labor intensive, but you can easily skip many parts as they are very common.
  2. Download the inventory as an XML file and write a program which extracts the uniqueness information from Bricklink itself. Bricklink has [an API](http://apidev.bricklink.com/redmine/projects/bricklink-api/wiki) which you can use to get information about a part. Especially interesting is the `superset` request, which is documented here: <http://apidev.bricklink.com/redmine/projects/bricklink-api/wiki/CatalogMethod#Get-Supersets>.
  
  I think that if you are not planning to reuse this process, you're probably better off with option 1 where you eliminate the items you know for sure are not unique, and then go through the tens of items left that might be unique to verify uniqueness.
