The Golden CD (as I call it) was the first BIONICLE® Mini CD-ROM to be openly distributed. It was included with the 2001 LEGO® Toy Fair Showroom invitation. One of these invitations sold recently on eBay for fifty-six British Pounds (about $100 US at the time) to a buyer in Switzerland. That is a bit of a homecoming for the CD, as it was originally manufactured in Baar, Switzerland.
Curiously, the Golden CD shares its part number (4156338) with a black-and-white version. This is the only CD-ROM you will see this month that I know I don’t currently have in my personal collection. I do have the black-and-white version though, so assuming they have the same content, here is what you would find on the CD:
The CD does not really have any games. It is mostly informational. For example, it explains the whole BIONICLE legend of Mata Nui through the use of animated CGI rocks.
Each of the six original TOA CGI movies are on this disc. There is also a movie of Onua assembling himself. This was a preview of the never-released BIONICLE: Legend of Mata Nui PC CD-ROM game.
