I have seen CD Bionicles at K-Mart and Wal-Mart (mixed in with non-CD
versions!). I suspect that only the early versions might have the CD, so
Bionicles ordered from S@H, or at TRU. I suspect as the shelves get
refreshed, all the new stock will not have the CD.
Oh, I also doubt that you'd find CD/Non in the same box. I think Bionicle is
shipped with a box containing all of the same set (like most other Lego, but
unlike Slizer and Roboriders). At the WalMart the difference between CD and
non was clearly along set lines, (for example all Onua would have CDs, but
another bionicle would not).
I wonder if any of this has to do with the number printed on the label, on
one of the tags that holds the caps on?

Also on the posters I have, the one for Lewa has a different back to the rest, and doesn't have the rest of the Toa on the bottom, is this the same for everyone (...)
