Mm, could be... but on looking at the types of parts included, several are from sets introduced just last December, and some of the masks were never included in sets outside of promotions with McDonald’s (sand Akaku and light brown Kakama masks, for instance). So some pieces would never have been in a TRU.

Although the large proportion of Bohrok/Bohrok-Kal pieces indicate there was a huge overrun on those sets, something I’ve long suspected.

(...) You mean the sand-blue Akaku and dark-orange Kakama from these sets? [LEGOSet 8582] [LEGOSet 8584] Neither were tremendously common at TRU stores, but they did show up sporadically. (21 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)
