I was just at my local Lego store the other day and saw the same display. It's a big improvement from when I visited a store last month, and the entire winter 2015 Bionicle lineup was packed into a small display cubby that was not designed to accommodate that number of sets.

The solitary parts bin made me nostalgic for the Lego store event after NYCC last year. It's impossible to overstate how incredibly awesome it is to be let into the store after-hours, and be greeted by bins upon bins of free parts which will not be available to the general public for months! A single parts bin full of parts that are solely the property of the store itself is comparatively underwhelming (I miss when CCBS parts were briefly available through Pick-a-brick), but hopefully it'll help kids visiting the store to experience the Bionicle building system for the first time, and hopefully be inspired to buy one or more of the sets.

I don't know anything about that event other than the fact that Lego store events are typically aimed at young kids—be prepared to be one of the oldest people there if you do end up attending.

Oh yeah,  definitely a kiddie event, doesn't sound like any building will even be involved. My brother is really young, pretty sure he's just the age range they're looking for.
